This chartered car experience in Taiwan was absolutely fantastic! The driver was incredibly kind and the most enthusiastic and considerate driver I've ever encountered on my trip! 1. He was practically a personal concierge: He didn't rigidly follow a fixed route but tailored a more cost-effective itinerary based on our specific needs, helping us avoid many pitfalls. 2. A walking "map" and "guide": Not only did he drive smoothly, but he also proactively explained the local customs and culture along the way. Most importantly, he's a photography whiz! He took us directly to the best photo spots, ensuring we could get a great shot right out of the car, saving time and effort—perfect for those of us who didn't want to walk but still wanted to take beautiful photos. 3. He had a wide network, taking us to eat and have fun: Following him was definitely the right choice. He used his local connections to take us to many hidden gems that weren't listed in travel guides. He was also incredibly sincere, watching us order and proactively suggesting, "This portion is enough for the two of you," ensuring we didn't waste any food—he truly cared about us. 4. A fantastic teammate who saved us money: He even took us to buy great value souvenirs, which were not only high quality but also much cheaper than what we found on our own. In short, this trip wasn't just about hiring a car; it felt like having a local friend showing us around. I'll definitely use him again next time I'm in Taiwan! Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Taiwan—you won't regret choosing him!
Student tickets and priority admission tickets can be entered electronically, and the price is the same as the price sold at the counter. The ticket stubs for the Taipei Fine Arts Museum are also the same (if you're looking to collect ticket stubs for different exhibitions, you'll be very disappointed). I always book tickets through KKDay when I go to the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. Walking from the main entrance to the ticket gate at a normal pace takes less than a minute, so I don't understand why people still queue up to buy tickets at the ticket counter. I don't understand, I really can't comprehend it. Every time, I really want to shout to the people in line, "You can buy tickets with your phone!" or "No need to queue!" but I restrain myself. I hope everyone in line is blocked at the entrance so I can enjoy the exhibition with fewer people.
Amongst all the drivers Ive hired in Taiwan, this was the only driver who provided the correct car seat configuration (rear facing) for my child who is less than 2 yo. Other drivers (private or other companies) had incorrectly installed car seats or the straps were too loose and the drivers had no idea how to adjust the seats. I felt safe taking this car. The agency was very responsive to my queries and arranged everything well without me having to repeat myself. The driver was pleasant (not overly friendly but also not grumpy or unfriendly) and did not try to bring us to any tourist traps. I will definitely use this service in future.
We had an amazing day trip to Jiufen, Shifen, and Yehliu! Our private driver was very friendly, professional, and punctual throughout the whole journey. The car was clean and comfortable, and the driving was safe and smooth.
He explained the attractions clearly, gave us enough time at each location, and even recommended good photo spots and local snacks. The trip was very well organized and stress-free.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taiwan and looking for a reliable private tour driver. Thank you for making our trip memorable and enjoyable!
The joint ticket for the two museums offers significant discounts, especially for parents with children, saving them some money XD
