Jiufen Sightseeing Tour

To be honest, at first I wondered if it might be a little pricey, but in the end, I’m so glad I went ahead with it! Our guide, Mr. Li, gave us detailed and entertaining explanations about Taiwan’s history and the various sites, which was a great learning experience for the kids. If we’d gone on our own, I think we would’ve just casually looked around and called it a day—and that alone would’ve been more than enough to satisfy us—but he also recommended lots of great shops, and he even took us to Jiufen, so we were truly, truly, truly satisfied. It happened to be a busy holiday period, but our driver, Mr. Zhang, planned the absolute best route and drove us around, so we were able to tour the best parts of Taiwan in a single day—stress-free and efficiently. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the city the next day. Thank you so much!

We were able to efficiently visit many tourist attractions that we couldn’t have covered on our own in a single day, and we were very satisfied. Our tour guide, Mr. Wang, spoke Japanese very well; he was friendly and incredibly attentive, and I was really glad we’d chosen him as our guide.

This tour allowed us to efficiently visit famous tourist spots in and around Taipei, and everyone was thoroughly satisfied. Since there were only six of us, we had the car all to ourselves and were able to enjoy the tour without worrying about other passengers. For lunch at Din Tai Fung, we had informed KKday in advance that one participant had a food allergy. On the day of the tour, both the guide and the restaurant staff handled the situation perfectly, allowing that person to enjoy their meal without any concerns about their allergy. We were also able to experience the lantern release in Shifen and a stroll through Jiufen under clear skies, creating wonderful memories for everyone. Even after the tour ended at Raohe Street Night Market, our guide kindly took us to a shop where I wanted to buy something, and I’m very grateful for that.

Despite the heavy rain, you were kind enough to show us around. It was a really enjoyable sightseeing trip. Thank you very much.

In the morning, they picked us up at our hotel, and we were able to get around to each location very smoothly—it was a truly fulfilling day. In Jiufen, thanks to our guide, Mr. Hayashi, we were able to get into a tea house we had already given up on without having to wait, which made for a wonderful memory. On the way back, they took us to a massage parlor where they spoke Japanese and even arranged a taxi for our return trip. It might have been a bit more expensive than going on our own, but we were completely satisfied because we were able to sightsee safely and stress-free. Thank you very much, Mr. Hayashi and the driver.

First of all, even though there were only three of us, we were comfortable in the 8-passenger van. Our guide, Mr. Wang, was very thoughtful and made sure everything went smoothly. I’ve been to Taipei many times myself, but the local anecdotes he shared were both informative and entertaining. It would have been difficult to visit Jiufen, Shifen, and the National Palace Museum on our own, so taking my elderly parents on this tour was definitely the right choice. The only downside was that the lanterns were all a single color. However, being able to time our stop to coincide with the train’s arrival was a wonderful experience. I was also very satisfied with Jiufen, where Mr. Wang recommended various local culinary delights. I’d love to book a tour to a different area next time.
