Tainan Päiväretket

The tour guide is fast in arranging our schedule, and complete the itinerary satisfactory, because it was 31°C - a hot sunny day, which we struggled to stay outdoor the whole morning and afternoon. Chimei Museum is a must visit place, highly recommended.

It was a full and enriching day tour. The guide/driver arrived on time at the pick-up location and drove very safely and steadily. The Harry Potter exhibition hall in the Ten Drum Cultural Park was excellent, and the approximately 40-minute drum performance is not to be missed. Luckily, the weather was great that day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the salt fields. The last stop was Dadong Night Market, where everyone could eat their fill before heading back.

Hyvä osallistua tälle päiväretkelle. Autossa oli yhteensä 5 henkilöä. Melko mukavaa. Opas Jessie on erittäin ystävällinen!! Hän vei meidät hakemaan talvimelonijuomaa ja soijapapumassaa! Suositteli meille mitä syödä ja minne mennä.

Tour guide Charlie was professional and attentive, providing very in-depth explanations of the attractions. Rather than visiting on my own, his guidance helped me better understand Taiwan's past economic development. For example, Anping was an early starting point for foreign trade in China, while Ten Drum represents the development of the modern sugar-milling industry. Overall, the itinerary was well-designed. As I was the only participant that day, Charlie flexibly adjusted the schedule to suit my actual conditions and needs, paying special attention to my mobility limitations, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommended!

The instructor gave very detailed explanations and was great at guiding the children. Even though it was very sunny throughout the trip, it didn't dampen the kids' enthusiasm for listening to stories at all. Plus, there aren't as many tourists on weekdays, so walking and learning was really comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the history of Tainan and Taiwan—you definitely have to come!

Overall, the itinerary was pretty good. Our tour guide, Mr. Lu, was humorous and engaging. However, several attractions on the itinerary were just a quick glance from the outside, and we didn't go inside, which meant they didn't leave a deep impression. Specifically, the history of Anping, the Dutch, and Koxinga could have been explained in more detail, providing a clearer historical overview. I hope the organizers will reconsider the itinerary.

The Official God of War Temple was gorgeous and our guide told us all about the traditions there. The qipao fit great and the photographer in our group of five was patient. A relaxed, memorable half day in Tainan.
