“Nicolas was friendly, warm and had a welcoming personality. Explained things and answered questions to a high standard. For those who are wondering he takes good pictures, both in portrait and landscape so you’ll have options. Jiufen – took me to the lovely A-Mei Teahouse and then to another lovely tea house next door, we went early so it wasn’t overcrowded, which mean it was great for photo taking (Important) as it gets mega busy later, but not all the shops were open, but enough were to get see most of them without the big crowds. Shifen Waterfall – Lovely walk to the waterfall and the waterfall itself. The area…”

“Raymond our guide was wonderful. Very well organised & had a sense of humour. He gave us a bit of history & story telling about the places we visited. It was very hot so hydration was important. Releasing the lanterns was very special. It was great to see beyond Taieri city. Our family of four (young adults included), enjoyed the big day out.”

“It is a highly recommended tour, especially if you are lucky to have Sunny as your tour guide. She switches between English and Mandarin effortlessly, providing all the necessary as well as fun information in such a manner that everyone knows exactly what to do and when and where to be back at the meeting points. Sunny is passionate about the natural beauty of her homeland and shares her passion with tour participants - I could not help but fall in love with Taiwan simply by listening to her. Surely, the Geopark, the waterfall and the stunning coastal views from Jiufen make Taiwan a real gem!”
