Review for: Half-Day Tour

Great introduction to Little Kinmen. This is way more expensive than Route G of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Service, but I didn't know how to book the latter, so thankfully this tour is offered on Klook. The guide also only spoke Mandarin, which was stated in the tour description, but he did try to use Google Translate for me. The other tourist I was with was also helpful in translating what the guide says from Mandarin to English. So, I still recommend the tour even for non-Mandarin speakers.

The trip to Little Kinmen is great, the itinerary is excellent, not tiring and the time is well organized, the sights to be visited and places to check in are all gone. Director Lu is very experienced, and the explanations are very professional and there are many interesting things that local people know. The footwork is also very good. It is super 👍🏻 After the tour, there is a private tea room provided by the company for refreshments, which is very touching. There is no sales promotion in the whole process, so it is very relaxing and comfortable. Guests take the initiative to ask and recommend a root product, and there are also reliable recommendations for customers to buy the practical souvenirs they need. I also recommend a two-and-a-half-hour night tour of the Houpu business district provided by the local tourist office for free. The guide is also very professional and attentive, letting people know more about Kinmen’s past and present battlefield history and the origin of its civil and military atmosphere. It is worth following. Except for one or two times when I felt that the taxi driver's quotation was slightly expensive, the other experience was very good, and the folk customs were simple and sincere. I hope that the big and small Kinmen will become more and more lively and develop better and better.

A text message was sent the night before to inform you of the meeting time and location; two people can form a group; the eldest brother is the driver and tour guide, and the explanation and interaction are very interesting, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the culture and history of Kinmen. It is a very rich and fulfilling day to go around Little Kinmen and stop and go along the way. It is very suitable for those of you who come to Lieyu for the first time. Finally, enjoy refreshments and provide postcard and assistance delivery services. On the way back, we talked about Yitiaogen and Gongtang. Thank you for your recommendation and introduction. It is different from other well-known brands and gave us the opportunity to try it.

Review for: Half-Day Tour

After the Taiwanese people who were on the tour together went to take a boat to go to Dadan Island, it was a 1-person tour all the way~. The guide was very kind and enthusiastically explained things, even using a translator. The schedule is half a day, so it's not physically demanding, and it's packed with good stuff. Lunch was delicious, and there's also a tea time with tea and snacks. I had to go to the airport in the afternoon because I was moving to Taichung, and I wasn't familiar with Kinmen transportation, so I was originally going to take a taxi to Kinmen Airport, but they told me that I could take the "藍1" bus from Jincheng Station, and it was so cheap and comfortable. It was a fulfilling tour!

Special car pick-up, the tour guide gave a detailed introduction to the history and culture of Kinmen, we also visited the attractions, lunch was also included, you can eat the special noodles, overall it is great value for money! If you don't have a chartered car, this is a good choice. You can go to different attractions without riding a motorcycle.

I completely understand why the online reviews are so high. It is really worth the trip. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The chosen locations are also made very vivid through descriptions. It is recommended that those who want to learn about the history of Lieyu Island (Little Kinmen) should buy this tour.

The tour guide is very kind and lovely. The scenic spots are explained in detail. Tourists' questions will be answered as much as possible. There are small table dishes for lunch. If you don't like taro, you may need to indicate it in advance.

The tour is rich in content and the length of stay at each point is just right. The atmosphere of Little Kinmen (Lieyu) is different from that of Big Kinmen. You must visit it once! The price includes meals, and every dish is delicious!

The tour guide was very considerate and professional, explained in detail, and was willing to interact with us. Moreover, the number of people in the group was small, so the tour guide could take care of everyone's needs.
