We were two Japanese men in our 50s traveling together. Our driver and guide, Mr. Chen, was absolutely fantastic. We mainly asked him to take us on a tour of the war sites on Kinmen Island. Although he doesn't speak Japanese, he was very experienced and skillfully used his smartphone to translate, adjusting the time to fit all the sights into our visit. He picked us up from the hotel on time and dropped us off at the airport at the end, for which we are extremely grateful. Thank you so much, Mr. Chen.
It was pretty quick to book and then redeem on the spot! The shop owner was also very friendly and quick too. The store itself was just a 5-10 minutes walk away from the pier. The electric scooter that I got also seemed pretty well maintained.
Having an electric scooter was very convenient going around the entire island. One charge lasts for most of the day, with battery exchanges allowed back at the shop if necessary. The electric scooter went up to about 25-30km/h, which was enough for most of the island. The only issue is that it had a bit of problems with some steeper slopes, which required some pedaling to give it a bit more power, but it wasn't a big problem overall.
Absolutely great time. Easy, great guidance, and a wonderful experience. Would recommend to anybody who wants to see the turtles!
