“Cristian was great! He is from Spain but has been in Taiwan for over a decade. He speaks fluent English.

My favorite scene was the wide waterfall at Siufen and my favorite experience was watching them make tea at Jiufen. Great experience!!!”

I shared a list of places we wanted to visit, and he exceeded my expectations. He also took us to a wonderful place for lunch, which was super delicious.
