Alishan tours

Our guide Stella was wonderful from the moment she picked us up at the Kaohsiung high speed rail station to the drop off. The car ride up the mountain was through some very windy roads so beware if you're prone to motion sickness. We had great luck and had the opportunity to ride the once a week wooden train up Alishan but the trails and trees are still well worth it even if you don't get to ride it. Would highly recommend this tour and Stella as your guide for your trip up this beautiful mountain.

Our tour guide Jason was really nice and very accommodating. he made sure we are comfortable and well fed. we were able to see a lot of attractions and was able to do different activities. we enjoyed the short trip to alishan #JasonWolf

The day before the trip, the tour leader will call to inform you of important travel notes. 👍 On the way to Alishan, the tour leader and driver, Chen Jihong, also known as Brother A-Ji, provided detailed introductions. Upon arriving at the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, he even transformed into a professional photographer! 👍 He's excellent at finding the best angles, and every photo he took was beautiful. Along the way, he also made sure to look after every traveler. This was my first visit to Alishan, and I was so lucky to have such a wonderful tour leader. This trip was definitely worth it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For first-time visitors to Alishan, I highly recommend "Chen Jihong - Brother A-Ji"; his detailed explanations made this journey even better! 👍

hassle free tour at alishan with a side trip for tea picking. this is a great experience that will make you fall in love with nature. our chinese driver is very accommodating and do his best to speak to us in english. the van is also spacious and has enough leg room for you to stretch your legs after a long walk.

I was drawn by the inclusion of the forest railway, so I booked a 2-day, 1-night Alishan trip (outbound: car, return: car + train). After the reservation was confirmed, I received information about what to bring and precautions via LINE. Closer to the date, I also received detailed information about the meeting point, driver's name, and vehicle number, which was reassuring. (All in Chinese, but translation software helped.) The documents provided when boarding the shuttle car also included Japanese, which was easy to understand. The guide spoke Chinese, so I needed someone to translate for me, but there was plenty of explanation time during the 2-hour hike. The paths were well-maintained with wooden decks and stone pavements, so even with my limited stamina and in the rain, I was able to walk comfortably. One word of caution: if you use a private car transfer, there's a high risk of motion sickness because the winding mountain roads have significant inclines. Even though I don't usually get car sick, I felt quite ill during the return transfer from Alishan to Fenqihu and wished I had brought motion sickness medication.

We had an amazing experience with Apple Tour Guide on our trip to Alishan Forest. Apple was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting facts about the area, nature, and local culture, and made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. I can’t recommend him enough.

The trip was amazing! Vaness was knowledgeable and accomodative. The trip was smooth with the guide’s driving and explanation throughout. Vaness made the experience so much more enjoyable with his easygoing personality and genuine enthusiasm. Itinerary was well-planned and it didn’t feel rushed; there’s ample time to explore the different attractions and enjoy the scenery. The only tiny shortfall was the accomodation at Alishan which was a little dated, but most of the accommodations around that area are about the same. Overall, would recommend if you are looking for a short well planned trip out of Taipei.

In the hot summer, this trip was great. It felt cool to go to the mountains and the air was fresh. The driver was very attentive and introduced the features and helped take photos. Everyone had a great time.
