Tour was amazing. Tour guide was trying to be very jolly which I appreciate but there really is a language barrier. He’s very accommodating , however very difficult to understand as well. The previous tourist guide who was assigned to the tour bus I took last time was a good English speaker. I hope their tourist guide could improve in speakig/communicating in English. Overall, we enjoyed the entire tour!

I was picked up on time from the Taipei Main Station. Since the weather was not very good, we managed to adjust the trip slightly. We ended up visiting some interesting places, which was very fun. I would definitely recommend it.

Barbie was very kind and accommodating. It was mostly Japanese tourists in our group, but she was able to communicate with all of us in EN/JP at the same time, which was super cool. She also let us go on our own around the town with the help of the map she made. Besides tasting the unique Jiufen snacks, we got ourselves some ginger tea and special custom surname calligraphy souvenirs. Please take note of how crowded the place can be, but adjust yourselves accordingly and let it not ruin your trip. Thank you for the tour, Barbie! My husband and I enjoyed the entire visit to a damp misty Jiufen.

May is very knowledgeable and an amazing tour guide! the tour is just a few people. It was a fun tour and we end our day in the tea house. My fave part is the houtong cat village as there are a bunch of cute cats lingering around.

This was a self-guided tour, so there was no tour guide, but overall it was a great experience! The itinerary was clear and easy to follow, and each stop was enjoyable. Everything was organized well, making it convenient to explore with plenty of time each place. I would definitely recommend this tour my family and friends.

We had a tour booked with A Wei and it was a wonderful experience. We were picked up directly from our hotel, which made the day very convenient and stress-free. His tour plan was very well organised, and he was punctual, friendly, and professional throughout the day. The itinerary covered Yehliu Geopark, Golden Waterfall, Jiufen Old Street, Cat Village, Shifen Waterfall, and the lantern experience.
We had a great chance to explore Yehliu Geopark and Jiufen Old Street, but unfortunately heavy rain started later in the day. Despite the weather, A Wei still took us to all the remaining spots and kindly showed us around as much as possible.
This was our first time in Taiwan, and we felt very welcomed and well looked after. We truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend A Wei to anyone visiting Taiwan.

If you’re into nature, this one’s for you. Expect lush greenery, waterfalls, cultural immersion, time to relax, and plenty of scenic, IG-worthy photo spots. You’ll also get to try local food. Huge shoutout to our tour guide Paul—super chill, very informative, took amazing photos of us, and even brought us on a side trip to the cherry blossom area.

It is recommended to check the weather before booking. Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy the entire tour because of the rain. However, Mr. Martin was very kind and accommodating. He shared useful information along the way about the places we visited and about Taiwan in general. He even let us borrow his umbrella and raincoat—anything he could to help. He truly went out of his way to make the experience better for us. ☔😊
