Itinerary

  • Taipei (Pass By)

    Odds are, ambling down any street in Taipei would confront you with a million sights you’ve never seen before. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, in such an instance, to have somebody by your side to explain just what exactly is going on? With a local Taipei host, you’ll have that as you explore this bustling, vibrant and ridiculously colorful city together. Tell them what interests you, and then stick around for the journey.

  • Liberty Square (Pass By)

    You might like to start your day with a traditional Taiwanese breakfast before heading to Liberty Square. From here, many of the famous attractions are accessible to you, and you can get your history (and Instagram) kicks by exploring one or many of the surrounding temples and buildings.

  • Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall (Pass By)

    Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a biggie! Ask your host about its political significance.

  • Bopiliao Ancient Street (Pass By)

    Travel back in time on Bopiliao Old Street - a relic from the Qing Dynasty,

  • N/A (Pass By)

    You could catch a tangerine sunset at Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf.

  • Shilin Night Market (Pass By)

    You could sample some beef noodles, pepper buns, flame-torched sausages and soup dumplings. Are you brave enough for stinky tofu? We reckon you are.

  • Ximending (Pass By)

    Depending on the timing of your experience, you might like to check out the Shilin and Raohe night markets, climb Elephant Mountain for stellar views over the city, shop in trendy Ximending or get close to nature in Yangmingshan National Park.

  • Raohe Street Night Market (Pass By)

    Learn all about ingredients you never knew even existed and immerse yourself in this steamy world of culinary brilliance. Some modern apartments are built without kitchens because the nation’s kitchen is outside on the streets. Now that’s confidence in their street food scene.

  • Dihua Street (Pass By)

    You might want to tick off some famous sights, like Bao’an Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Dihua Street, and let’s not forget that Taipei is all about street food. In fact, so entrenched is this daily ritual into the fabric of life here, that some apartments are built without kitchens - sample some pork belly buns and bubble tea to see why this would make perfect sense!

  • Elephant Mountain (aka Nangang District Hiking Trail) (Pass By)

    Your host will take care in mapping out a unique route for you which takes in the city's highlights as well as some hidden gems they know you’ll love

Adventures near Taipei!

Published on Jan, 2025

Great day with Steven! We wanted to bit of an adventure for our day and he took us on some nice hikes explaining the history of the areas, to a very local restaurant with fresh seafood (who knew how many types of crab are caught in Taiwan!) and to the Yehliu Geopark which was almost like walking on the moon with fossils! Highly recommended!

Great walking tour and good company!

Charlotte planned a great tour of Taipei for me and hanging out with her was like hanging out with an old friend! She explained a lot about the history of Taiwan and also took me to a night market to try some new foods! Would absolutely recommend booking this tour!

Cindy was a great host! We had a very nice tour with her and saw many locations. She is also great to talk to and gave us a lot of her perspective on her life in Taiwan.
