Chiayi

This shared tour was great value. Besides the 9-seater Benz, the driver also acted as a tour guide, accompanying us throughout the entire trip, providing commentary, and even finding great angles to take photos for us – the photos turned out beautifully. Luckily, the weather was nice that day. We ate at a famous tin box bento box restaurant along the way and finally rode a miniature train. Because some sections of the road have many curves, it's recommended that those prone to motion sickness take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Ease of booking (KKday's usability) ​Pros: ​The procedure was easy to complete in Japanese, and the purchasing process was smooth. ​I was able to get a good deal at a discounted price (stating the discount rate or specific amount would be more convincing). ​Were there flexible options for seat selection and time changes when booking (if you used this service)? ​Was it easy to enter the required information, such as your passport number? ​Concerns (if any): ​Were there any issues with using the website or app? ​Was it time-consuming or confusing to issue or collect your voucher? ​🎫 Ticket collection and redemption ​Pros: ​It was very easy to redeem your ticket at the station (did you use the counter or the automatic ticket machine?). ​Was it enough to just present your electronic voucher (the booking confirmation you received by email)? ​Was the waiting time for redemption short? ​Concerns (if any): ​It was difficult to find the redemption location, or the counter was crowded, etc. ​Did you experience any language barriers when redeeming your ticket (whether Japanese was available or not)? ​🚅 What was good about your experience riding the Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail? ​The interior of the train was clean and comfortable. ​The seats were spacious, so I didn't feel tired even on long journeys. ​The train ran on time, allowing for a smooth journey. ​I enjoyed the scenery from the train window, and other specific impressions. ​What were your concerns (if any): ​Inconveniences with the onboard services (Wi-Fi, food and drink, etc.). ​Dissatisfaction with the environment, such as the air conditioning being too strong.

Our guide, Moose, is very friendly and takes great care of the passengers. The Alishan tour is really focused on taking photos and enjoying the scenery, but I was happy that he took a lot of them. The scenery is truly beautiful, and the walking distance is less than I expected. There was some traffic on the way there and back, but he still drove us back to the city center quickly. It's a bit cramped for eight people, but it was comfortable and safe. I highly recommend this tour at least once during your trip to Taiwan.

The scenery at each point is absolutely amazing. Hotel stay is also good 4 stars with large room. Travel around the 3 point though is tiring due to hill road

When we arrived at the car rental site, the staff gave us a friendly introduction and also helped us upgrade for free.

The driver was kind and thorough. He took photos for us, and when it rained, he even offered us an umbrella when we got off. The bus was clean and tidy. The lunch we had along the way was delicious. It was a great experience to get to know Alishan, even if only briefly. Alishan is a bit far to visit in one day. For those who can only spare one day, this tour is well worth it.

I arrived in Chiayi the day before and checked the bus boarding location. I was able to get breakfast early and catch the 6am bus. The scenery was amazing first thing in the morning, and walking around the big trees was soothing, with lots of negative ions. After returning to Chiayi, I stopped by an Alishan tea cafe and met a woman who had interned in Japan. We had a great time chatting and it was an unforgettable experience.
