I was born and raised in Taipei. I love interacting with local people when traveling, and getting some recommendations about where to eat and where to have fun. When I travel to a new city, I try to find the best hidden gems to get lost in and most of the time it is a good way to see a different side of the city. Let me help you in the same way to find the best parts of my vibrant city. If you can't find tours that you like please feel free to contact us.

A small country, Taiwan is like a world in miniature that has much to offer. In fact, it is possible to find something that suits your liking the whole year round. Being an island, Taiwan has a wealth of seaside possibilities for both beachgoers and sea lovers. With its special terrain, Taiwan is home to many breathtaking mountains, hills, and valleys. In addition, the unique Taiwanese culture is a magnet that attracts new and repeated tourists to the beautiful island. Taiwan has several metropolises where people of different ethnicities have formed the foundation of the rich Taiwanese culture. As you make your way through different destinations, you are bound to encounter a cultural mosaic of diverse highlights, traditions, and events. As the social landscape of Taiwan grows increasingly heterogeneous, Taiwan will open up more opportunities for visitors with different cultural appreciation. One best way to appreciate a culture is through food. With its multicultural characteristics and abundant food sources, Taiwan boasts kaleidoscopic cuisines to live up to its name of a food paradise. From local delicacies to exotic culinary delights, Taiwan offers a whole array of food choices that cater to all tastes. As a dream destination, Taiwan is capable of appealing to sight, taste, and other senses of its visitors. Welcome to Taiwan to discover the gem of your own.

    Daphne was a fantastic tour guide. Professional, knowledgeable and a wonderful person. She patiently answered all of our many questions. Her tour was amazing. We would never have ventured to the areas outside the city on our own, nor had the experiences she provided us. Spending the day with Daphne was the highlight of our trip. We would definitely not hesitate to...

    This is a really fun tour, and I think it is a must-do for anyone visiting Taipei. Daphne will escort you through the chaotic, but super fun, night market, and will explain the many different types of street food being sold, and will recommend her favorites to you as well. I did this tour on my final night in Taipei and it was a perfect way to end my trip with a true...

Daphne has planned a very unique experience which, for me, included a tour of whisky distillery, a participatory visit to a scallion farm (you will pick scallions and then learn how to make scallion pancakes) and a somewhat odd, but fun, shrimping experience,...

    Hi Robert, Yiland is amazing places for a chill and relax day and I'm happy that you get to see some beautiful countryside just 1.5hr away from the city. Thanks for having me ;) You did something that you will never experience in other country.

    This is a great tour to get an overview of Taipei's main highlights and distinct neighborhoods. You will learn a bit about Taiwan's history, politics, religions and culture. Daphne is an excellent guide who provides a very diverse overview of the city. I came away with new understandings of the geopolitical issues facing Taiwan and the local religion and culture. I...
