Discover the Zen of Taipei! We'll start at the top, literally, with a high-altitude view of everything from the observatory of Taipei 101. You'll have ample time to both learn about the building itself and take in the gorgeous views of your surroundings. Afterward, we'll head downstairs for a leisurely lunch at Michelin rated Din Tai Fung, where you'll eat your fill of the restaurant's world famous xiao long bao (soup dumplings). After lunch, we'll take you to the geothermic Beitou district, home to Taipei's best Japanese style bath houses, first used as centers of entertainment and leisure by Japanese colonial officials then kamikaze pilots on the night before their final missions. You'll soak in the area's healing waters for an hour before being brought back to your accommodation. Please note that soaking in hot springs isn't recommended for pregnant women, people with heart conditions or other serious medical conditions.

Taiwan is a small island with lots to see. Many people would be inclined to hire a car and drive themselves, but this is not always a good idea in Taiwan. Taiwan is mountainous, it's topography is rarely easy to follow. Therefore, arranging a tour is worth considering. You can consult the friendly people at My Taiwan Tour Travel Services directly or arrange your own itinerary on-line

We arrived in Taipei after a 5 week trip to SE Asia. I had been to Taipei previously but my wife had not. After getting a good night sleep our guide Winnie met us at our airport hotel. She arrived early and waited for us while we finished our breakfast. She was very friendly and provided us with a briefing of what we could do in the 6 hours that we had to explore the city. She was very interested in making sure that we did what we were interested in doing and also recommended must see attractions. She was also very conscious about making sure that we could get back to the airport in time to check in for our flight. Aside from being extremely knowledgeable and personable, she was extremely funny. We spent more of the day being entertained while being educated. I cannot speak highly enough about Winnie and how much we enjoyed her company and the day tour. I highly recommend Winnie and City Unscripted.

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.

Not so long ago, bicycles ruled the road in Taiwan. Two of the world's largest bicycle makers, Merida and Giant, have their origins in Taiwan. Bicycle is still the best way to see Taipei, just keep an eye out for crazy drivers. I rode my bicycle around Taipei for several years and came to no harm.

My tour guide was with Tina and we started off from the food market having a brief culture of the foods to the street foods and restaurants. The places we went weren't really well known to the foreigners (like myself) and they were surprisingly good! Each and every places we went were amazing! We were joined with Anna, a colleague of Tina's, during our second stop and it felt more like hanging out with friends instead of a tour. Basically that was my food for the day! Highly recommend this to anyone going to Taipei and do come with an empty stomach!

We arrived a bit early and June was waiting for us. She started with the Longshan Temple and explained what was going on, the local religions and worship, very interesting. We moved on to the traditional medicine area and tried some teas. We also had a look at the preserved old shops. June was cheerful and pleasant and knowledgeable. She ordered some local buns for us to finish with which were delicious. Family of five from Australia.
