- VTViara· November 26th, 2024Everything was great: visits, transport, restaurants, hotels. The only thing that could get better was the guide, L.W., who was far more interested in food then in culture, and made us spent twice as long time sipping coffee at the Grand Hotel then visiting the National Palace Museum. When I told her: "Please, let's finally go to this museum, only an hour is left now before the closure, and this is labelled a "cultural trip"; she said: "Well, im my view it is not a cultural trip but a trip by train". Disappointing.Show moreTrip date: November 2024
- CBChantal· October 23rd, 2024My guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a great pride in Taiwan. It was an older group she was very understanding of all our needs and limitations.Trip date: October 2024
- LWLarry· October 23rd, 2024I am still in Taiwan as I prepare to fly home Lily the guide was great and I kinda missed her guidance and commentary the past couple of days But I did go back to the Museum for a full day session on her inspiration She is a helpful, kind person whose love for her country shines through her presentations.Show moreTrip date: October 2024
- RKRobert· April 2nd, 2024The trip was great, we had a wide variety of activities / locations, from temples to cooking classes. The trains were good, and Vincent is a knowledgeable and engaging guide. The only criticism would be the quality of the accommodation, and particularly the FX hotels were run down and in need of refreshing (mould in showers, noisy aircon, etc).Show moreTrip date: March 2024
- Pieter Hendrik· April 1st, 2024Overall..good to very good. Full program that covers key elements of Taiwan tourist attractions. Main contributor to success though was tour guide Vincent Chiang !

- Julie· April 1st, 2024We had a great time on the daily tours and our tour guide was knowledgeable. The food was amazing and experiences with the group were memorable. I felt that everything was taken care of and it made travel through Taiwan easy. The hotels were less than stellar with some accommodations being better than others.Show moreCulture Trip commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review!

- JWJuliet· March 8th, 2024The basics were in place, everything happened when planned, I.e. meals and transport. The hotels were ok but there was a mix up with checking into the first one in Taiwan which took ages to sort out. The guide was helpful and responsive but I felt she needed more of a script as her English was limited. Overall she did a good job with a difficult group in bad weather. I would not spend so long in Taiwan, 7 days would have been enough.Show moreCulture Trip commented on this reviewThank you for your review following your recent trip with us to Taiwan!
