Why is Taiwan a must-visit travel destination? Taiwan is an island with high mountains, historically ruled by many colonizers, such as Kuomintang (K. M. T. ), Japanese government and Qing dynasty, making Taiwan an immigrant-based society composed of various cultures such as Chinese, Japanese and Austronesian. Compared to neighboring countries like Japan and Korea, Taiwan is diverse in terms of languages and cultures and quite safe for solo travelers. When you visit the Old Street, heritage and temples, you will find the traditional arts and folk beliefs still coexist within this modern society. The democratic society is what makes Taiwan so different from Mainland China. All the pieces of what happened in the past combined together, forming the truly local life like the delicious and various food and drinks in Taiwan-special night markets. Traveling brought me amazing life experiences. I have lived in Beijing, the capital of China for five years, and visited 35 countries, as well as enjoyed backpack traveling in Latin America. I would love to share with you every lovely thing in my world, my home harbor city Keelung and where I study and work - Taipei. Let's be friends and let me(Su Hsiao Lan - Taiwan Tourism Bureau Licensed English Tour Guide, Licensed Spanish Tour Manager) show you the touristy and hidden spots of northern Taiwan based on your interests by private car, public transportation or walk, discovering Taiwan inform the local point of view while forming unique experiences of life.

Mila was a fantastic choice for our day in Taipei. We asked to start an hour earlier due to our ship’s arrival time, and she graciously accommodated us. Due to traffic and some rain, we turned the order of our tour around, and it was perfect. She gave us much background of local customs and religious temples. She took us to a delicious lunch with soup dumplings, pot stickers, and much more. Thankfully she helped us to order, and the local food was great! Choose Mila for your tour of Taipei!

This is one of the best tours I've ever taken! Mila showed us things I never would have had the chance to do without a local's help. We fit so many things into our embarkation day, it was like a vacation within a vacation. She knew so many tiny local food spots, places we would never have been brave enough to try on our own. We can't recommend this tour enough, lifelong memories made!

We had so much fun with our tour. The Yehliu Geopark and Jiufen Old Street experiencing was amazing! We learned so much about the Culture because of Mila. Mila was able to educate all of us about the places. We had to opt out for the waterfalls and lantern experience as it was raining hard but overall, it was a great experience. Thank you Mila and for our driver for taking good care of us. We will definitely reach out again if we plan to visit Taiwan.

It was a delight to spend a day with Mila and her driver, Mr Chiu. Mila was considerate and knowedgeable and found a great spot for us to try beef noodles. Her timings were so good that we managed to fit in two Changings of the Guard.

We have an amazing day with Mila! We had one day with Mila during a cruise stop and we conquered so much in that one day: released a lantern / saw the waterfall in Shifen, got the BEST street food in Keelung Night Market and saw major sites in Taipei. Throughout the day, Mila had great information to share and showed us places we would have never seen without her local connection. She was warm, friendly and even played some of our fav music during our journey in a private car. We truly had an incredible day - thanks Mila!!

What a wonderful day we had with Mila. Great guide! It was the second day of the Chinese New Year. Mila expertly planned the day to avoid the crowds and, at the same time, provide a truly interesting and enjoyable experience. Mila was very knowledgeable and did a very good job in answering all of the questions the four of us threw at her. We highly recommend Mila!
