We had a wonderful experience with Evelyn. She was very knowledgeable and passionate, sharing detailed insights and interesting stories that brought every place to life. Evelyn’s bubbly personality, clear explanations, and thoughtful guidance made the entire tour smooth and enjoyable. Would have been better if we were given a bit more time to explore Shifen and Cat Village but we understand the time crunch. Overall, had a great time and would definitely recommend! 😊

Very good tour, tour guide was thorough, thoughtful, caring and informative (Ms. Chen?) ½ day was perfect for me. I would have preferred the night tour but I could imagine how busy and crowded it would have been. The daytime tour started with just the right amount of people but as the time passed, it got busier and busier with students from school, other tour groups, etc.
The best part is that the tour guide explains just enough and then you're on your own to do whatever you want at your own pace. No need to wait for others, walk in large groups, etc.
Highly recommend if you like to do your own thing for the most part.

I enjoyed this tour with a small group. I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel, which made everything very convenient. In just one day I was able to see so many places—if I had tried to do it on my own using public transport, I would have only managed a few. I recommend this tour. The only part I found less impressive was the Cat Village.

We had such a great day exploring Yehliu Geopark, Shifen, and Jiufen with Bubbles as our guide! He was really friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting stories along the way. The car was clean and super comfortable, and the ride was smooth and relaxing.
Bubbles was also very patient and thoughtful, always making sure we were comfortable and had enough time at each stop. His cheerful personality made the whole trip even more enjoyable.
We truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend Bubbles to anyone visiting Taiwan! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
