“Our guide James and driver Jason were excellent! James' knowledge of Chinese and European history was very impressive. Stopping at the Puli brewery for wine tasting was fun. The Tehua Village home of the Ito people was very educational and the beauty and craftsmanship of Wenwu temple was astonishing. Of course Sun Moon Lake was as beautiful as advertised, and the shore walk was gorgeous. Some great food along the way too! Highly recommended!”

“The 12-hour tour involved 6 hours of travel to and from Taipei to sun moon lake. Not much else, except for the bike ride.

“Justin was a great driver. Very comfortable vehicle. Sun Moon Lake was a pretty area, but for the price, there just wasn't enough to do to make it worth that much money. We basically just did a boat ride, and ate at a handful of food vendors.”

“We had so much fun touring Sun Moon Lake and Alishan Forest.
