What people love about touring Taiwan solo
- Explore Taiwan
I was in Taiwan on my solo trip. After checking out of my hotel at 11.30 am, I got a message that my flight was delayed by 5 hours. I was elated as I got a few more hours to roam around the beautiful city of Taipei, but I had to keep my luggage somewhere. There, among the many boons and banes, technology became a savior for travelers like us. Suddenly, my experience in Europe flashed in mind that I realized there must be luggage storage rental services in Asia as well. Well, luckily I got to know about Lalalocker, my savior. It was cheap as well and they operate out of salons, restaurants, cafes and many other common locations along the metro. I kept it in Ludique creme. However, these services recommend you not to keep expensive items in your luggage, just in case. So, keep a small backpack handy to carry your expensive stuff with you before ditching your luggage. This service of Lalalocker in Taiwan made my day! Nice service.
- Taiwan Express
A well organised tour. Although advertised as an 8 day tour it was actually a one day tour around Taipei. Then 5 day tour.Our group leader Alan was really good.. My daughter is not very mobile. But anything that would be challenging, she was warned and there was things she could do..
- Around Formosa Taiwan
Great roundtrip with great Guide. Enough time to stay on visited places.
