4.00Everything was Good including the Guide and the Places Visited. Only thing that was disturbing was the Driver Who wouldn't let you into the Bus if you came back before time.🤔

5.00My wife and I joined Mia for a seven-hour tour to Shifen and Jiufen on the afternoon of Sunday, January 4. The full half-day tour was short, but it was still a very enjoyable experience throughout. It was the last day of the holiday in preparation for the New Year, and although the place was very crowded, I was able to enjoy the lantern skipping, the viewing of the waterfall, and the walking of Jiufen. Mia, thank you for your wonderful guidance!

5.00Jerry was the absolute best tour guide—hilarious, kind, and totally gave off fun dad energy. He somehow spoke like four languages during our tour (??) which was wild to witness. Even though it was a 7-hour tour, it never felt rushed—we got to see everything and still enjoy every moment. The scenery was unreal. If you're planning to do the lantern experience, I’d recommend asking to wait until there’s no one behind you before releasing it—mine turned out super crowded in the pics, which was my only regret. Other than that, this tour is a solid 10/10. And Jerry? He’s a 20/10. You won’t regret booking!
A Stunning Waterfall, Floating Lanterns, and a Wet Less-Than-Ideal Climb

- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00This experience was a mix of breathtaking beauty and less-than-ideal conditions. The waterfall itself was absolutely amazing—powerful, mesmerizing, and worth the visit. It was one of those moments where nature truly takes your breath away. One of the most magical parts of the trip was the lantern release. Even though the sky was cloudy, the lanterns still floated effortlessly, creating a surreal and peaceful moment. Watching them rise into the mist was something special, almost dreamlike. However, what was supposed to be a scenic, picturesque area ended up being completely obscured by rain and fog. Instead of panoramic views, we saw only gray mist. The charm of the place was definitely there, but with zero visibility, it was hard to appreciate it fully. The climb—300 steps up and down—was another challenge. Normally, I wouldn’t mind a good workout, but add in the cold, wet conditions and a massive crowd of people wielding umbrellas, and it became more uncomfortable than enjoyable. Navigating through tight spaces while avoiding getting poked by umbrellas made it a little frustrating. Due to the continuing rain and it being cold and wet I ended up bypassing the night market which I had really been looking forward to Overall, the experience had its highs and lows. The waterfall and lanterns were absolutely worth it, but the weather and crowd made parts of the trip more exhausting than expected. If I had the chance to go again, I’d definitely aim for a clearer, drier day.
Tour with Jeffrey Wu is the BESTTT

5.00Jeffrey Wu is the best tour guide! Super knowledgeable, personable, and funny! We thoroughly enjoyed how varied the experiences were in this tour, from the waterfall, to the Geopark, to the lanterns—everything was beautiful, memorable, and so worth the trip. We were never once bored. Communication is via WhatsApp so make sure at least one person in your group has that downloaded—instructions and pictures were very clear so we were never lost or confused.
