This trip was mind blowing! Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable and gave us very detailed instructions for every location we visited and shared with us some of the most popular and tasty spots. Beautiful spots for sure! Our bus driver was extremely experienced in driving which made the road trip a good ride to and back. Will definitely miss this trip and everyone we've met on this trip!
I was lucky to get a reservation even at the last minute. The unlimited tea and the ability to take home any leftover tea leaves were great. The view was amazing around 7 PM.
This time we opted for the 6-hour service, departing from our hotel near Taipei Main Station at 2:00 PM for Shifen and Jiufen. We were very fortunate to have met our driver, Mr. Chen, who not only speaks fluent Cantonese but also answered many of our questions about Taiwan. There were three of us in a 7-seater vehicle, which was very comfortable and clean. Mr. Chen's driving skills were excellent and very stable; we arrived in Shifen in less than an hour. Upon arrival, Mr. Chen even recommended a shop where we could buy sky lanterns and patiently waited for us to write our messages on them before arranging for the shopkeeper to release them on the railway tracks. After arriving in Jiufen, he clearly told us our departure pick-up point, and we finally disembarked at Taipei 101. The entire trip went very smoothly; many thanks to Mr. Chen for his excellent service.
