Review for: English Only: Longshan Temple Walking Tour (Tip-based)

The Longshan walking tour was an unforgettable experience that brought history and culture to life. Our guide (RORO) was knowledgeable and engaging, providing fascinating insights into the Longshan Temple, its architecture, and the rituals practiced there. The tour also explored the surrounding area, highlighting hidden gems like traditional markets, historic streets, and local eateries. The pace was relaxed, allowing ample time to soak in the atmosphere, ask questions, and take photos. The blend of spirituality, history, and local flavor made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper connection to Taipei’s rich heritage.

Insightful tour that left us feeling “time flies — how have 2 hours already passed?” Our friendly guide Ale infuses her storytelling with a great sense of humor, keeping us amused throughout. Amazed by her wealth of knowledge about Taiwan’s history as a Colombian. If you enjoy her or other guides’ service on this tour, you may feel free to tip them, typically around 400-600 TWD.

Our guide, Leo, is an optimistic and enthusiastic guide that made us laugh while also teaching us about Taiwan's history in Wanhua District previously known as 'Bangka' or 'Monga' and the Longshan temple with the many gods and godesses and how people worship them. He's very knowledgeable with the topics and we were able to learn a lot and have fun with him.

I highly recommend the tour. Our guide was outstanding. She is very knowledgeable about the local history and I learned a lot about Taiwan and the different religions at the temple. Communication was not an issue, her spoken English was excellent.

Very worthwhile. The tour leader gave good advice. The meeting point was very easy to find. There weren't many people at the temple. For those who are coming for the first time, I recommend it. The guide will tell you all the history.
