A good way to see a few sights of Taipei if youre here for a limited time. We enjoyed our dinner at Din Tai Fung. We also had a wonderful driver and tour guide which made this tour even better.

It's a good tour but the guide rushed through the night market and didn't really explain much. He was okay during the temple tour. Left us for dinner with no comments on what to expect. The tour is good but the guide could have been better, perhaps the one from my half day tour.

Wonderful tour of the most interesting temple in Taipei, an unusual snake night market, and Taipei 101 with more food than you could eat at Din Tai Fung. We have eaten at home at this restaurant and this one is a much better quality!

We were picked up late which is no big deal but the man who was to be our guide should change his job. He barely said much and basically had us visit various places without giving much information or background. I wanted to learn about Taipei and Taiwan culture but simply pointing out fruit or massage parlors is not what a guide should do. He was a much older man and maybe that played a part in his listless tour. Total waste of money and that guide should retire. I would pass on this if I were you and just visit these places on your own. As for Taipei 101 or Din Tai Fung. The place was a zoo and we had to wait a good 30 minutes for a meal which I could have done on without being part of the tour. The food was okay but I would not dine there again. It's over rated.

Dumplings were excellent but not many options for seafood/vegetarian without chicken or pork.

Felix, our guide did a great job of explaining the history of the areas we visited. Our tour of the Huaxi Night Market was a lot of fun. Being a bit of a 'foodie' I would have liked to have had some time to sample the food. Felix, advised against it, fearing it might make us sick.

Never got a chance to view the Taipei 101 building. I don't know how we missed this.

This was a great tour!!! You walk through the night market, a few temples, go to the top of the Taipei 101 building and a have a great dumpling dinner!!! This is an awesome way to spend an evening in Taipei.....meeting new people, walking around the fascinating city and having a great dinner!!!

This was the worst tour I've ever had. I've been to free tours that were much better than this, and I've been on several Viator tours so I expected a better experience. The positives: the tour guide was a nice man and the van was comfortable and prompt. At Din Tai Fung the food was plentiful and delicious The negatives: Our tour guide was not informative and seemed inexperienced in that position. He was unable to answers many questions about the sights and about Taipei that were asked. He also spoke with heavily accented Chinese which made him difficult to understand. To make matters worse he often spoke while we were walking or while he wasn't facing us so that we couldn't read his lips. Additionally, I was extremely disappointed with the night market that was chosen for this tour. It had nothing that was even remotely appealing or that gave tourists an idea of how vibrant the night markets in Taipei truly are. It had massage parlours and snakes. No street food. No life. It was a complete and utter letdown. I'm lucky that I had more nights in the city because I was able to visit night markets that were truly representative of the city on my own. The final and I'd say one of the most disappointing parts of the tour was the end. I was aware that the Taipei 101 observation deck price was not included, but I thought that we'd have the opportunity to visit. We were told that this was not an option. Instead we toured the inside of a mall including the Apple Store. I was shocked.

My friend and I booked this tour as an efficient way to have dinner at a busy, popular restaurant that doesn't take reservations Din Tai Fung and see some things that would be good to have a guide explain to us night market, temple. We were extremely disappointed in the tour.

Liked the temple better than expected. The night market, alrthough cool to walk through, not anything you really want to buy. Dinner was quite good and our guide was knowledgable and nice.
