My family and I had a great time on the tour. We saw the old street in Jiufen, saw the waterfall at Shifen, and set lanterns off in Pinxi - all the activities we wanted to do! Thank being said, we didn't learn much about the places we went from our guide. I wish we had been told to bring rain gear as the guide said "it rains everyday!"

Stephen was a great guide. He could explain everything und had answers to all of our questions concerning life in Taiwan. He was a safe driver and always very polite and helpful. We highly recommend him as a guide. Although he is French his English was quite good.

Jessica was an amazing host and very knowledgeable! We really enjoyed the day with her and learnt a lot! She knew lots of amazing facts about the places we visited and really knew her way around! All her recommendations were excellent and we especially loved going through the temple with her and learning about how it works! I would highly recommend a tour with Jessica!

My day with Jack was fantastic. He was kind enough to pick me up at my hotel and drove us in his very nice vehicle first to Shifen, the town and the waterfall, then on to Jiufen. He recommend the best food items to try and they were all delicious! He is very knowledgeable about both the sites we visited as well as the general history of Taiwan. We had great conversations throughout the day! We left Jiufen city and explored the gold museum, the WWII POW site and memorial and then the beautiful coast. As my short visit to Taiwan was centered in Taipei, Jacks tour gave me the only opportunity to see these sites on a compressed timeline. Don't come to Taiwan without giving yourself this opportunity. Thanks Jack!

The waterfalls were more than I expected, the visit to Shifen and the ballon launch was terrific. The visit to Jiulen was lots of fun, full of life. My tour guide Jessica was terrific. She was friendly and very well informed especially on the visit to the Taoist Temple. A real education and lots of fun. Highly recommended.
