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.

Getting to Jiufen and Shifen from Taipei is difficult. Even if you take a taxi, there's a risk of not being able to find one on the way back, so it ends up being more like chartering a taxi (I wonder if you can call one with an app...?) The other tourist spots were places I wouldn't have thought to go to on my own, but they were worth seeing. The weather was a bit bad, which was a shame, but I'll definitely use their services again when I return to Taiwan. Unfortunately, they didn't speak Japanese, and although I wanted to get along with them, there was a lack of communication. We ended up communicating using LINE translation... Thank you very much for your help. I think the experience varies depending on the person in charge.

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.

The itinerary was excellent, and the tour guide was very friendly, helping us order delicious food, choose sky lanterns, and providing great explanations of the itinerary. Time management was also superb! The only downside was that we had to return to the bus early because the air conditioning wouldn't be turned on earlier if there weren't enough people! Everything else was great 👍! A great choice for a day trip!
