It was a nice, good tour

I was lucky enough to be the only one on the tour and get my wonderful guide James to myself. He taught me so much about Taiwan, the history, culture and language. He is very funny and speaks perfect English. The park was beautiful and the guide took lots of great photos of me. Perfect tour!

This was a really interesting, and recommended tour however would be better on a full day. The guide was very informative and helpful and provided key details at both sites. The rock formations are fascinating and the scenic coast wonderful. Excellent value for money but could have spent much more time at Yehliu Park.

It was a short tour seeing a temple at a high spot in Keelung followed by Yehliu Park. The park is beautiful but we did not have much time to explore. Our guide did not speak English too well and it was a bit hard to understand for my American friend. Not worth just to see Keelung - might as well join another tour which lets you have more time at Yehliu Park.
Review by: Oliva R, January 2018
Worth it, although the tour appeared short because it was a holiday and people flock the geopark.

Pickup was around 8:15. One quick stop at a Buddhist Shrine and then on to Yehliu Park. Once there, we were taken inside the park and then told when to meet back. There was no mention that the line at the queens head was quite long. By the time we walked quickly to the end of the park where the queens head was located there was no time to wait in line to take photos. We only had 10 minutes at that time to walk all the way back to the park entrance to be picked up to leave. So really the tour simply a quick walk thru with no real time to do anything. Frank seems to be more interested in checking out his cell phone that sharing any information about the area. We were back by 12 noon. So the tour is only about 3 1/2 hours with maybe 45 minutes at the Yehliu Park. Very disappointed. I would not recommend this tour.

This is a very good short tour. Yehliu Park is amazing! The tour guide is also very knowledgeable and helpful.

It was an excellent experience, everything was on time, the guide was good, and co travelers very cohesive. It was a lot of fun.

Wow... What a great tour out side of Taipei. I highly recommend this tour. So nice being able to see the Northern Coast outside of Taipei.
Review by: timthoo, October 2017
The tour itself was not too bad. The first stop at the temple in Keelung was not spectacular. The stop was more for the view of Keelung Harbour from the temple. The drive from Keelung to Yehliu Geopark was quite scenic. It was a particular hot day and not really conducive to walking around the park looking at the the natural formation of the stone sculpture. The reason for the 2 stars was the coach we were travelling in had to do another tour in the afternoon. Our guide, Jack, got a taxi for us and gave us TWD150 for the fare which was inadequate to cover the fare back to our hotel. That left a sour taste.

Very interesting tour and the tour guide was awesome! Really enjoyed this tour and the sights were amazing.
Review by: Ivan S, September 2017
Nice way to see the countryside outside of Taipei - bus was comfortable and James was an excellent guide. Would have liked a bit more time to go a bit more slowly, especially to see the rock formations.
Review by: John L, April 2017
Amazing sight and friendly helpful guide.
Review by: alberto a, January 2017
They do not pick you up at the hotel and they do not even contact you. Avoid it
Review by: Therese Camille A, January 2017
Awesome views! Tour group is small, which I really like. Less time spent waiting for everyone to regroup. Guide was entertaining and spoke English well.

nice trip

The tour guide Jackie Chan is good. He speak English well so we enjoy his companion.
Review by: Daniel N, September 2016
Okay tour, interesting things to see. However, if you are looking for any commentary, there is none. The driver/guide just takes you to the site and points you in the direction you need to go. So really, this is not a tour, but a ride to various sites.
Review by: Timothy L, July 2016
Nice tour...would have rather gone solo in the morning because the crowds were out of control. However, if you only have a limited time and no other transportation, this is a great option. I like that they gave plenty of time to explore the geo park.
Review by: Ivona M, June 2016
This trip was very nice and our tour guide very knowledgeable. But Yehliu park is definitely worth longer staying, this was really quick view.
Review by: JOO H, June 2016
It was my second time to have a taipei tour via viator, but this time it was disappointing._br/_ The guide could speak japanese and english so he used 2 languages. He spoke japanese for japanse tourists and english for others. It made me confused and I had to spoiled time for japanese guides._br/_ Plus, he recommended us a teashop but it was suspicious if he could have a commercial connection with that shop. I think I would never choose viator tour again.. so disappointing.
Review by: Mo, May 2016
I tend to go on a lot of my tours and country visits alone so this tour was okay to do. I was staying in Taipei so the drive out there isn't too far. The guide and driver were on time. I was able to book a second tour with them right in the van to continue my day seeing Juifren. The driver took us 4 ppl in the group to different stops and then we were at Yehliu. Prepare for the crowds. Lots of people walking, pushing and shoving. The park is nice but the ocean view is better. You see fossils and shapes and then its time to go. The guide offers to stop for seafood but if everyone in the group doesn't say yes you cant go. The driver's driving is sketchy at best. Guide fell asleep often and rushed you when you were around seeing the sights. I don't regret the trip but I probably wouldn't book with the company again.

Great tour....interesting rock formations!!! Great view with little climbing.
Review by: Geoffrey I, March 2016
This was a very short tour. Tour left the city at around 8:30 am. We visited the Godess of Mercy, nice stop and nice view. We then went to Yehliu Park, not very impressive rocks and huge crowds. By 10:45 am the tour was essentially over. We had the option of having an early lunch or heading back. Tour guide hardly said anything on both stops, essentially left us to wander on our own. Not much value in this tour.
Review by: Sebastien J, February 2016
Nice tour with a good guide who explained us the main things aboutbwhat we were visiting. We also went to a local seafood restaurant at the end not included in the tour,
Review by: pnogueraruiz, January 2016
Very good experience.
Review by: lynda k, January 2016
Awesome tour, bad weather but great guide who got us through crowds and puddles with a minimum of fuss, a very beautiful site
Review by: Franklin-5, December 2015
This was poorly timed. We spent a disproportionate time at the temple and the other less attractions such as the copy of the Queens head but when it came time to marvel the Queens head itself we were told by the guide that we had no time to see the attraction itself.
Review by: Shan Lu T, October 2015
Very good trip. But the Chinese tourists are terrible.
Review by: Sharon T, June 2015
Convenient to get to and exit from the area with hotel pick-up and drop-off service. Guide was informative and did a fairly good job. Weather was really hot during our visit, and the park was crowded on a Friday late morning. Would have been great if tour could commence earlier, say reaching the park at 9 am.

Enjoyable trip, informative, well organised
Review by: Maria D, June 2015
The tour was very good, despite the intense sun...guide was at the hotel on time, driver was kind enough to leave us at different location. However, We thought there should be more time at yehliu park, since there was not even enough time to take a picture with the main sand structure...
Review by: Donna M, April 2015
The Geo Park was totally worth seeing. Unfortunately it was absolutely full of tourists but I was able to get some beautiful photos as our guide took us to some less popular areas. The only down side was the vehicle which was old and not very clean.
Review by: Wee S L, March 2015
Experienced and knowledge tour guide
Review by: gary11, February 2015
It was a nice tour Walter, the tour guide was informative but I felt that it was a bit rushed. Didnt really get to explore much around Yehliu Geological Park. Only an hour was given which is not much considering the number of visiting tourists.
Review by: Shu Jun N, January 2015
Nice tour except for the rainy weather, can't do much about that
Review by: Jessy, January 2015
If not for the crowds (lots of people), Yehliou park was great. Impresseive sand sculptures to see
Review by: Louisa S, January 2015
Very good guide. Too many tourists at the site.
