I considered chartering a taxi, but ultimately chose this sightseeing tour because the price was attractive. This was the evening session.
[Good points]
- Since the meeting time is in the afternoon, I didn't have to wake up late.
- I didn't need to plan the tour schedule myself.
- The tour guide explained the route and recommended places.
- The tour bus was spacious with high ceilings, so it didn't feel cramped.
[Unexpected points]
- The sightseeing spots were crowded, so the free time was shorter than expected (especially Yehliu and Shifen).
- When other tour members were late for the meeting time, it caused inconvenience due to the waiting time.
- There are many similar buses, so be careful not to get on the wrong one.
This tour is suitable for those who want to visit many famous landmarks rather than spending time sightseeing in one place.
I used this tour with my family, who were visiting Taipei for the first time, and we were very satisfied. Thank you!
Thank you, Ouyangsen driver! 😊 The car was clean and the driving was smooth and comfortable. You were able to accommodate my last-minute requests, and I had a wonderful time. The lantern spot in Shifen was great. I am very satisfied.
We were picked up at the hotel at 10am and first headed to Shifen. In Shifen, we went to a lantern shop owned by an acquaintance of our driver, Lin. Our whole family wrote our wishes and experienced releasing lanterns. Lin and the shop owner took lots of photos and videos, making it a memorable experience. Next, we went to a famous spot in Keelung with colorful buildings. Before that, we were taken to the Keelung Miaokou Night Market to grab a bite to eat. The food at this market was incredibly delicious, and I'm so grateful to have been taken there. Then we went to Jiufen. We arrived around 2:30pm, and Lin showed us some recommended shops and spots in Jiufen, and we strolled around. We had a tea reservation at 5:30pm, so we were quite full and had some time to kill. It rained a little before we went into the tea shop, but it stopped soon after, so the parents enjoyed their tea, and the children were able to capture the beautiful scenery of Jiufen on camera. We were then dropped off at the hotel around 8pm. We had lots of souvenirs, we weren't too tired, and we were able to efficiently visit all the places we wanted to go, which was great. I was very grateful for all the recommendations and advice from Lin-san about places to visit in Taipei. The only thing that bothered me was the slight smell of cigarette smoke in the car.
Thank you for a wonderful family trip. Thank you.
The weather was bad, so I was able to use the unlimited bus pass, which was a great help. I visited the National Palace Museum, Jiufen, and Shifen. I was also very happy to receive a cute cup as a gift.
On my first trip to Taiwan, I absolutely wanted to visit Ame no Chaya
and release lanterns! I thought it would be impossible to do it on my own, so I booked a bus tour. The price was reasonable, and the course was fantastic!
