We were not satisfied with this tour, the original hotspring we were supposed to go was closed we had to go to an alternative one which was not up to standard. The cost for the tour was not value for money.

Wish we had a little more time to explore Yangmingshan, but the waterfall was beautiful and the path to it was incredible - the best part of this trip by far was the hot springs. Relaxing and soothing, and made my skin feel incredible - they provide towels so you don't need to bring your own I did, I wasn't sure and they don't explain there are cold and hot pools, so be aware if you're getting overheated there is a cold pool to plunge and reset your core temperature. Bring a water bottle, you'll sweat and want to rehydrate, but if you forget there's a small restaurant downstairs at the baths where you can grab a drink or in the park before you go to the baths. Be aware, if you're going in the pools you'll need to strip down and go naked. I don't think this is in the description of the tour, only in your confirmation email. Very friendly tour guide who was quite clear on timing, and had a few great tidbits about Taiwan. He delivered our tour in Mandarin, English and Japanese so kudos to him!

I enjoyed the tour, especially Yangming Park, the Hot Springs and bath. It was nice to have the relaxed time soaking all the aches and pains at the end of the tour!

Good guide and the park is lovely, but not overwhelmingly so. A nice park close to the city. Nice waterfall in the park. If you don't want to sit in the hot public bath, you may not want to do this tour. You are only allowed into the pool area if you sit in the bath, not just to see the pool or watch people understandably. Not much to see if you decide to walk around that hot spring area on your own. If you like hot springs and bathing then it may be a good tour for you. Overall, a nice tour.

It was very nice and the tour guide and driver were lovely. I do wish though that we explored Yangmingshan National Park more. It was too short I feel.

A small park worth to see if you want to kill some time. There is nothing much to see there though.

Though the tour was nice, I was disappointed not to see all the wonders of the park. we had a short walk at a garden near the summer house of Chang Kai-Shek, nothing special to see. Looking at pictures of the PARK there should be amazing flowers this time of the year.

Loved our tour guide Jacky Chan and we were the only people on the tour which was awesome as we both can speak fluent mandarin. Jacky was very informative and very funny. He showed us the different types of the cherry blossoms. He is very knowledgable and also he can speak fluent Japanese!!!!

This was a great tour! The guide, Jackie, was very informative and made for a great expereince. The volcanic landscapes and the tour climax at a traditional Hot Spring was very relaxing. A word of caution, we were taken to a traditional local hotspring ... dress code was mandatorily nude. A bit of a shock! But part of the cultural experience.

Could have been better in terms of spending more time at the park instead of just 20mins.

Disappointment. Not value for the money paid
Review by: Peter D, April 2014
Highly recommended. The guide was great with the whole group. He was very knowledgable about the area. Remember that you need to ask questions if you don't know anything about Taiwan. He will point out the main places on the way and if you see something else just ask.

Only suitable in good weather.
Review by: PAULINE T, November 2013
Nothing much to see. Maybe its because its the wrong season. Guide was not informative, he did not bring me up to the top for the view cos he said the weather is no good, can't see anything. _br/_
Hot spring is a total nightmare, so old and overcrowded and doesn't look clean.
Review by: Annie M, August 2013
Our guide didn't seem very interested. He was not very knowledgable either. He left us at the hot-spring for about an hour. Once we were done with that he asked if we are interested in handicraft? If no, he suggested that we skip that part of the tour!

The tour was good, but the bus was not. It needed a new set of Shocks and tires. We bounced the entire tour. Yesterday's tour was the same. Not sure if we were on a different bus or not. No difference in the ride.
Review by: Jane W, March 2013
Bonus of this trip is we get to see Cherry Blossom! Although the park is smaller than we expected. The other bonus was that I didn't expect the tour to include the entry and usage of the hot spring. It was a nice experience!
