Explore Kaohsiung by private car, from Fo Guang Shan and Lotus Pond to Pier-2 and fine art, with flexible pacing and hotel pickup.
“Our guide, Richard is very accommodating and tells us many stories and background on the places we went to which makes the tour interesting and fun. It was sad however that the Tiger Pagoda was closed during our visit due to some repair works being done. The Fo Guang Shan museum is the highlight of the tour which is quite interesting. However, make sure to specify to your guide/driver to take you to a good restaurant as we were not able to to eat proper lunch because the local restaurant where we ate somehow stinks. However, I still Highly recommend this tour”
