Itinerary

1. Picture this: a skyscraper so tall, it's practically waving hello to the clouds! Taipei 101 isn't just a building; it's the Beyoncé of towers, towering over the competition like a giant among ants. With an elevator that zooms up faster than your morning coffee kicks in, and views that'll make your jaw drop faster than a bad punchline, it's a must-see marvel that'll have you saying "101 reasons why I love Taipei!"

   1 h

2. Step into history and grandeur at the iconic Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall! Unlike any other landmark, it's not just a monument—it's a living testament to Taiwan's rich heritage and political legacy. Marvel at the imposing architecture, immerse yourself in the serene gardens, and witness the changing of the guard ceremony—a spectacle that'll leave you in awe. With us, it's not just a visit; it's an unforgettable journey through time and culture.

   1.5 h

3. Visiting Confucius Temple serves as a center for promoting Confucianism and traditional Chinese culture. You can explore the beautifully landscaped gardens, admire the architectural details, and gain insights into Confucian philosophy.

   1 h

4. For foodies, Dihua Street is a culinary haven, offering a wide array of traditional Taiwanese snacks, street food, and local delicacies. You can indulge in mouth-watering treats like oyster omelets, braised pork rice, and traditional pastries, providing a delightful culinary experience.

   1.5 h

5. Step into a world where ancient traditions meet modern marvels at Longshan Temple, Taipei's crown jewel of spiritual beauty! With its intricate architecture, centuries-old history, and vibrant atmosphere, Longshan Temple isn't just a sight to see—it's a journey through time. From its ornate rooftops to the tranquil courtyards, every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. Come experience the heartbeat of Taipei's cultural soul and see why Longshan Temple is a must-visit destination unlike any other!

   1 h

6. Walking into Bopiliao Historical Block is like walking into a movie set where the director yelled “action” about 200 years ago and never yelled “cut.” The bricks are weathered into deep shades of red and orange, and the afternoon sun bounces off them like warm light in a period drama. Every corner seems to tell a story, merchants selling herbs, families cooking behind carved wooden windows, a paper lantern swaying slightly in the breeze. Of course, now you might see a couple taking wedding photos in front of those same walls, or a tourist (hi, that’s me) stopping every 5 feet to stare at the texture of a doorframe. Bopiliao doesn’t try to impress you with flash. It’s more like an old friend telling you a good story, one detail at a time.

• 5Great Guide!

  Our guide Jennifer Yang was truly exceptional! We were impressed with her knowledge and caring attitude. She took great care to ensure our comfort and safety - as I walk with a cane. She arranged an amazing itinerary - with old, traditional sites to modern landmarks. We had the flexibility to make adjustments throughout our tour. Should we return to Taipei in the future, we would love to experience another tour with her.

• 5An Amazing Day in Taiwan with Jennifer! 🇹🇼💙

  We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Taiwan with Jennifer Yang. From the very beginning, Jennifer was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the entire day. Jennifer did an amazing job showing us the beauty and culture of Taiwan. She shared interesting stories and information along the way, and her enthusiasm made every stop even more enjoyable. You could truly see how much she loves Taiwan and enjoys sharing it with visitors. What made the experience especially memorable was Jennifer herself. She went above and beyond to make sure that both Zimar and I had a fantastic time. We laughed, learned, explored, and made memories that we will carry with us for a long time. If you are visiting Taiwan and have the opportunity to tour with Jennifer Yang, we highly recommend her. She is a wonderful guide and an even more wonderful person. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you, Jennifer, for making our time in Taiwan so special! We hope to see you again someday! 💕🌈🇹🇼 With gratitude, Terry & Zimar

• 5Wonderful day seeing Taipei!

  My adult son and I had an outstanding day with Jennifer Yang. We visited numerous sites and Jennifer provided wonderful commentary along the way. She also answered our dozens of questions and gave us great ideas for our continued visit to Taiwan. We highly recommend Jennifer and this tour.

• 5Happy customer!!!

  This is our 2nd booking with Jennifer Yang, she is very delightful and knowledgeable about the places we visit. We wanted to focus on old buildings and temples, and Jennifer definitely brought it! Here’s where we went: Confucius temple, Bao An temple, Chiang Kai Shek memorial, Longshan temple, Bopilao historical district, 2 temples (qing tian?) in Monga that I forgot the name of, Huaxi night market (ate at Michelin recommended Mr Wang’s Broth, 70 TWD for a big bowl of pork braised rice that’s satisfyingly savory and miraculously not greasy), and Dadaocheng (aka Dihua). There were actually MORE temples and markets on the itinerary but we punked out 2 hours early out of our own sheer laziness. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want to see, Jennifer contacts you a couple days ahead of time to get your requests and preferences, then sends you an itinerary to review. She is highly flexible, and if you change your mind on something or want to detour for something else, she can handle the planning with ease. I can’t stress enough how much of a godsend it is to have your own private guide with an air conditioned vehicle, we did exactly what we wanted plus other things she suggested to us that we didn’t know we wanted (but are sooooo glad we did them). Jennifer was also very generous with her knowledge and recommendations, we got some really great ideas for what we’re going to do on our own for our remaining days in Taiwan. We are super happy with our experience and will gladly recommend to all our family and friends.

About Taipei

Taipei is Taiwan's capital, a hill-ringed city of night markets, temples, hot springs, tea houses and the tall Taipei 101 tower.

Taipei sits in a basin ringed by green mountains, and Taipei 101, a 508-metre tower styled on bamboo segments, is its skyline marker. The National Palace Museum holds a vast collection of imperial Chinese art, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall stands at one end of a broad plaza, and Longshan Temple is a busy shrine of incense and carved dragons. Dihua Street preserves old shopfronts selling tea, herbs and dried goods.
