I had a great day! My tour guide Cipher was very friendly and helpful and knew exactly the right places to go, at just the right time to see them, eg Avoiding the crowds at the Palace Museum and then later watching the sunset over Taipei city from xiang shan (Elephant Mountain) - Beautiful!

When you’re picked up from Keelung Cruise Port, we highly recommend this private tour for who has just one day to discover the beauty of northern Taiwan. - Yehliu Geopark is home to lots of unique geological formations including the iconic "Queen's Head" - Golden Waterfall's distinct color and name come from the metals left over from the old gold mine - Jiufen, reflecting the Japanese influence on both architecture and culture. During World War II, the town housed a Japanese prisoner of war camp where captured Allied Force soldiers were forced to work in the gold mines. - By 2008 Houtong Started to reinvent itself as a cat paradise, with many cat loving citizens proposing to bring abandoned cats a better life - Visit Miaokou Night Market to see one of Taiwan's traditional food-focused night market and get ready for delicious seafood! We provide Muslim-friendly services like bathroom facilities, halal prayer room, meals at halal certified restaurant, seafood or vegetarian restaurant.

Our party of 5 traveled to Taipei in November and we went on a 4 day private tour with Justaiwan Tour. I worked with Max to plan the trip and he was extremely patient in answering all my questions and worked with me to modify my itiniaries. Warren was our tour guide and he was very accommodating, going out of his way to make sure that we had a good time. He was even willing to adjust his work hours and worked longer on certain days so that we can keep up with our itineraries. The tour company and Warren were very responsive; they made us feel like we had a family in Taipei who's always watching out for us to make sure that we are safe and have a great time. I reccomended the tour company to all my family and friends and will definitely contact them again when I return to Taiwan.

Ride a bicycle from Ruifang to Hou Dong, and follow the railway. The river slowed down. In the past, it was an important mining area in Taiwan. Hou Dong is not only a cute cat, but also has many precious mining history and memories. The footsteps seem to embark on a time machine to understand the historical memory that really belongs to the monkey cave. Culture, and stories

✔️Discover the hidden Jiufen Town that is only known to locals ✔️Experience the near extinct gold-prospecting skills unique to Taiwan ✔️Spot the breathtaking panoramic view of coastal-hill regions --- Jiufen, probably already on your bucket list of must go places, is one of the most renowned cities among travelers to Taiwan. Once the most dominant gold mine city of Asia under Japanese colonization, she enjoyed prominence even well into the 1950s. For decades, Jiufen was celebrated for its luxurious life style, grandeur of its temples and theaters, and the size of its visitor crowds. Today, Jiufen is mostly appreciated for its local cuisine, the coastal views of North Taiwan, and its relation to popular movies such as Spirited Away and A City of Sadness. However, on this fascinating route, we take you to the unknown side of Jiufen away from the clustered tourist sites - Come with us on this tour to travel back in time and see the authentic Jiufen Town in its golden years!

We had RTR arrange a river tracing experience for us near Hualien. The idea is that you put on a wet suit, then trace a (small) river upwards through a beautiful gorge by wading, hopping on rocks, and occasionally swimming. Most people go in larger groups but RTR set up a private tour for us, which worked out great since we went with our 6 year old who wouldn't have been able to keep up with a group of adults. The guide RTR booked was great, and even though we had only booked for 4 hours we ended up staying out for 6-7 hours (by mutual agreement). Both us and our kid enjoyed the outing immensely and felt safe and taken care of even though there wasn't a ton of rules and our guide didn't hover over us. Highly recommended if you like hiking, are in reasonable shape, and want to try something a little different.

Reading the reviews we were a bit reluctant to book this tour. But it turned out to be a great day! The scenery is amazing and Josephine adequately led the group from one place to another. If you like to spend a lot of time in one place, than this is not the tour for you because you don't get an awful lot of time at the different spots. But if you're looking for a tour in which you want to see many things in one day, then we would definitely recommend it. Josephine was very friendly and was willing to explain a lot. Everything was perfectly organized and the lunch was amazing.

Me and my mum were a part of this wonderful journey back in 2015. The hotels are lovely and charming, well-deserving 5 stars. The pre-selected spots are full of history. However, the best part was the german-speaking guide Lenny. He is fluent in German and very eloquent. Always with a service-oriented focus and full of knowledge. Without him the whole journey would not have been such a great experience. Thank you Edison Travel Service for such an unforgettable journey.
