Also enjoyed stops at dramatic, windswept beach (too dangerous to swim), and interesting large scale temple, some local street food, and a reconstructed Japanese Colonel’s house Our guide Alex was cheerful, responsive to our needs - we substituted the temple trip for a hike - and obviously very experienced”

“Mike was our friendly guide for the day. He made sure that we stuck together and had plenty to drink before, during and after the tour. Mike is particularly skilled in storytelling. He can spark your imagination with very interesting stories using small anecdotes to translate critical historical events. As we were cycling around different parts of Taipei, places that we as tourists wouldn't necessarily come across, through Mike's storytelling, it became easy to imagine past events unfolding before our eyes! It made the whole experience all the more special. Thank you Mike!!! I would definitely recommend this tour!!”
