5.00James was fantastic as a tour guide. We had a private tour with interesting background on the items in all of the places. I only had a few hours to sight see and this hits many of the major landmarks. You won’t regret going on this tour!

4.00We joined this half-day tour so that we could experience a taste of three cultural highlights of Taipei on a rainy day. We were pleased we did. Our guide David was friendly, spoke excellent English, and was highly knowledgeable not only about the three places we visited but also about Taipei and Taiwanese history. Recommended.
