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.

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.

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.

7. Private Charter from Taipei:Kitten Village to Jiufen & LaoHo Night market (7HR)

Taipei, Taipei Finemakers

This tour is recommended for cat-lovers, and Jiufen gained the fame because of the movie-A city of sadness. At last, you'll get to enjoy local delicacies such as pearl milk tea as well as other traditional Taiwanese snacks. Don't be afraid to spread up with friends or families, because the street is straightened. The best of all, our driver will drop you off at the hotel you stay in. So you don't need to worry about local traffic either language barrier. **Please note that our driver will not serve as tour guide.

Inclusions: All activities, Fuel surcharge, Landing and facility fees

Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuities, Food and drinks

This is a great tour and Tina was a really brilliant guide - smart, knowledgeable and great fun. The market is lively and interesting with amazing - and sometimes crazy - food to try. The food was delicious and often surprising and although the market is a bit touristy it does still provide a window into Taipei life. The two hours flew by! I would really recommend this tour - such fun and a great way to experience the market.
