Taichung Old Town Tour

Published on May, 2024

Although we had to spend the 5/1 trip on foot because of the rain, the tour guide Shine vividly introduced the culture, history and local food of Downtown Taichung, allowing us to experience it in a more in-depth way, which was impressive. .

Perfect experience. Really worths the time.

Published on Jun, 2023

One of the best experiences I had in Taichung! My friend and I had a really great time learning about Taichung history and architecture. Our tour guide Hans was such a nice and knowledgable man. He gave us a lot of interesting facts and he had good ability to connect us to the lesson. Highly recommend to try this tour if you want to truly learn about Taichung. 10/10.
