Chiayi Passeios

Alicia was a sweet, knowledge, and skilled tour guide! The tour was ran smoothly and had lots of chances to take photos, buy food + souvenirs, and take in the beautiful sights. As someone studying abroad in Taichung for a month with only weekends available, this was a great and affordable (compared to US prices) way to experience Alishan.

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.

The Alishan trip was absolutely fantastic! 🌟👏 The "Sacred Trees" of Alishan are truly awe-inspiring, having stood for thousands of years. These towering "Sacred Trees" stand silently in the primeval forest, some of these giant red cypress trees are over 2,000 years old, earning them the title of "living history textbooks." We felt as if we had stepped into another world, like a fairyland. We're so grateful to our tour guide, Kai Ge. He was kind and patient, possessing extensive professional knowledge about Alishan's culture, history, flora, and fauna. Along the way, he introduced us to attractions, told historical stories, and helped everyone take photos, adding so much enjoyment to the entire trip. Although it rained heavily and was very foggy, Kai Ge drove very steadily, making us feel safe and secure. He looked after everyone like a big brother from next door, and he worked incredibly hard. Thank you, Kai Ge; it's rare to meet such a dedicated and professional guide. Our Taiwan trip concluded perfectly, and everything was worth it! 👍👍👍

Tony was absolutely the best tour guide we could have asked for on this trip! The drive to Alishan involves some winding roads, but he drove so smoothly and safely that we felt completely comfortable in the car. He is a fantastic conversationalist who kept us entertained during the long drive, and he really knows his way around the Alishan forests. A highlight was when he took us to a quiet village to have lunch and watch the train pass by—a spot we wouldn't have found on our own. He even brought his own camera and shared high-quality photos of us and the scenery afterward. I was traveling with my senior parents, and Tony was incredibly patient and made the entire experience easy for them. We highly recommend booking him for a group tour!

Max was an outstanding driver for our Alishan day tour—punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made the entire journey smooth and comfortable, sharing great local insights along the way. Highly recommend Max for a stress-free and enjoyable experience!
