Transport varies depending on the itinerary but generally includes a mix of private vehicles, public transit, and special arrangements such as boats for specific sightseeing tours.

What are the physical demands of the Explore Taiwan tour?

The tour has a physical rating of 3/5, which includes walking and hiking activities that may be moderately demanding.

is there an option to pay for a single supplement so I don't have to share a room with another guest?

Yes, we do offer the option to pay for a single supplement so that you don't have to share a room with another guest. If you'd like, we can provide you with a quote for the supplement based on your specific tour details.

I'm interested in this departure. Have a 10% off discount code from my employer Dell. Am I able to apply it to this?

After reviewing the terms and conditions for your Bell promo code it looks like it is not combinable with your current cyber sale promotion. If you are wanting to book onto our Explore Taiwan adventure it would be one or the other.

What is the best time to visit Taiwan?

The ideal time for visiting Taiwan is from September to November when the climate is mild and accommodations might be cheaper off-peak. Weather is unpredictable in the spring with potential for clear skies or rain.

Are there vegetarian or specific diet options available on the tour?

Dietary preferences such as vegetarian options are accommodated on the tour. It's advisable to communicate any specific dietary restrictions ahead of time.

Why aren't the hotels listed on the itinerary for Explore Taiwan? I want the names of the places we're staying on those dates.

I'd like a sample list of the hotels Intrepid is using for Explore Taiwan. I was told by Tour Radar it didn't matter with whom I booked; it was the same. But it isn't because I have to go through you for any questions or information that I need.

How can I arrange pre-tour or post-tour accommodations?

Pre-tour or post-tour accommodations can be arranged upon request and are subject to availability. It is recommended to book these as early as possible.

What is the process for booking flights for the Explore Taiwan tour?

Flights are not included in the cost of the tour. Customers need to book their flights independently. A link for flight booking assistance is available via the tour platform.

I always recommend Intrepid I love what they do. Small groups, local guides, bringing us to the actual people, often solo travelers, always some exercise, some adventure. I have visited Taipei a few times and this time wanted to explore further. Taiwan is not on everyones radar and I love the mixture of Chinese and Japanese influences, besides it a stunning island. Taipei is a sophisticated, first class city.Show more
