What to do and see in Taipei, Taiwan: The Best City Tours

October 5, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

You can eat very well—and very cheaply—in Taipei. The restaurants may not look posh, but the quality of the food is superlative. And there’s a huge variety of restaurants—in addition to local Taiwanese specialties, you’ll find regional cuisines from all over China, as well as great Indian, Japanese and even Italian options. Just make sure to leave some room for snacks—street-vendor food here is addictive.

Donna is amazing! when we met her upon our arrival at the airport, we knew we hit the jackpot. She is knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful and everything about her is just lovely. My family love her, and we truly enjoyed our trip in Taiwan. The itinerary prepared for us is perfect, relaxing and we learned a lot about beautiful Taiwan. Donna knows her stuff well, and she made it fun explaining Taiwan's rich culture and interesting history. We also love the flexibility of our tour, and the comfort of our tour van. We would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a wonderful experience in Taiwan. Thank you Donna, for making our trip a memorable one.

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.

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.

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.
