Our guide, Vincent Lee, was amazing in every way! My mom and I were traveling to Taiwan for the first time, and we definitely had a wonderful experience because of Vincent. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, infused each destination with important background information, and took us to the best vantage points to enjoy each location. Among the many things we saw, he took us on an awesome climb up the Elephant Mountain Trail, which is well worth it despite the steep stairs, and he showed us all the beautiful views from the top (some of which we would have probably missed had we gone alone). He timed our visit to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall perfectly so that we had time to explore the grounds and learn about its history and get front row spots for the changing of the guard (amazing marching precision). He also arranged our Maokong Gondola ride in the most efficient way so we could enjoy the ride, understand what we were seeing, and do all of this while also being able to see everything else on our itinerary easily. He explained the historical background and the architectural significance of Lin An Tai Historical House in captivating detail. And his tour of Longshan Temple brought its religious significance and practices into meaningful focus, and he gave us an interesting lesson on the architectural features of the temple (e.g. the functionality and beauty of the brackets under the roof). In addition, he took us to the *best* place for beef noodle soup and mango shaved ice and gave us a good overview tour of Ximending and Yongkang Street. But on top of being comprehensive on the big picture level, Vincent was also so thoughtful on the details -- he had a power bank available for us to use to charge our phones, video clips to watch to inform us on general Taipei culture, water in case we were thirsty, and he also took amazing photos for us! He knows all the best spots to take photos at each location, and on top of that, he is an *amazing* photographer!! I would highly recommend this tour and taking the tour with Vincent Lee. He is warm, professional, kind, and informative, and he absolutely made our trip to Taiwan an awesome one!!

This is a somewhat overdue review of our wonderful month and a half tour of both Taiwan and the Philippines. Nick was our guide for a day shortly after hour arrival in Taipei. Importantly, he was actually our point of contact, athlete providing a comforting resource to help and assure what we were doing both before and after our day with him was best, safe, and done as we would like. He's interest in assuring that our entire visit was everything we could wish, did he was our point of contact, of security, of translation, of just making sure we were on the right road even if not one he may have been on himself was a value beyond the service.

In the review aspect I think it is important to note that with any unformatted guide that is best to suggest to them things you like to do, and allow them to make it possible for where you are. And that is how we proceeded, we suggested to him before things we like, he made an itinerary for our day, was totally wonderful and explaining and assuring the comfortable along the way, even if it may be some things he had not done much before (Like finding the best dunking house and figuring out how they operated, similar with setting up our own private wonderful historic family presenting an explanation of tea admin how to enjoy it properly). I am sure you can make up a tour of the standard wonders and securely safely and interestingly bring you through them, but I'll suggest the best is to have a private guide provide a private tour of your interests and you did that wonderfully.

Most certainly bring with Nick is more like being with a friend in their city - which he is unquestionatably fully familiar and proud of. And best yet, even still curious about. Norma and I hope that he knows he can rely on us as we did with him should he come to our world anytime.

And I would also like to mention that the hotel stayed at, in an excellent area with services and transit downstairs, the magnificent local temple, and really more of a good old-fashioned luxury hotel (with the best spa in-house that we have ever met, and wonderful services all around) yeah often me common tourist ones attitude our stay in many ways.

Vincent was great in his communication, picked us up at TPE with ease and suggested an alternative tour rather than a city one as it had been raining all week (the kind of rain that would suit a Portishead song <3).

We went started towards the Geopark along the coast and trusted Vincent in whatever he wanted to share with us. Each place was more glorious than the last, Vincent was fantastic in his commentary/ history of Taipei/Taiwan and warmed us up with a tasty cup of hot ginger tea. The cherry on top was getting to release a lantern into the air in the Pingsi district.

We adored the entire trip! So much so we’ve booked this again to see the city with Vincent!

I would recommend this city tour to all.

Our guide Vincent Lee, pick us up at the cruise ship port on time and with a good clean car, a friendly smile and a bottle of water. He then asked about our needs and discussed things to see and things to miss, we did a city tour of all the major landmarks but he also took us to a hilltop area less visited for a great overall city view, he arranged a great lunch at 101 and explained things and histoy as we went. I would really reccommend to other cruise ship passangers to get this tour rather than ship tour. Vincent Lee was great and never without a smile.

Jimmy was my tour guide and it was a fantastic day. Being somewhat unsure what Taipei had to offer, and the challenges of getting around; I booked a private tour. The operator gave me lots of suggestions in advance and were very communicative.

Jimmy was my guide, he was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He was determined I had a good day and flexed the itinerary to exactly what I wanted. I suggested things I might like (such as “scenery”, or “traditional”) and he would often find something 5 mins away from where we were which was a delight. Throughout the itinerary was fluid.

The whole experience was excellent. A very knowledgeable guide who takes pleasure in his customers delight

Myself, my wife and my 12yo son had a Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi with Vincent Lee as our guide.
He was by far the best tour guide we have had.
Vincent was very knowledgeable and made sure we were very comfortable all day and we could go at our own pace without feeling rushed.
We managed to beat all the main tour operators to all the attractions so it was quite quiet when we arrived but busy when we left each site.
I would highly recommend Yolo and in particular Vincent Lee if you are thinking of a trip in Taiwan.
We have already booked another trip through Yolo.

Jimmy made this trip an absolute joy. He was boundlessly enthusiastic, and clearly wanted to show us a good time. When he sent us the photos of us he had taken at the end of the day, he also included pictures he had just taken of other things he thought were nice. I was honestly touched. The trip was a whirlwind of different sights, hitting many top-of-the-list Taipei attractions, with the option to hit spots outside the city in Beitou hot springs and Yangmingshan national park. It was a blast!

Our guide, Vincent Lee, made this a wonderful and memorable day for us. He was so knowledgeable and thoughtful and made it one of best tours we have had. He did everything possible to show us the best vantage points for all the sights we visited. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Keelung and/or Taipei. His English is excellent and he is was so concerned about delivering the best experience for his clients.

Great experience. Our tour guide, Jack, gave us all of the history and explanations. Also he was great accommodating our young children that were struggling without a nap and long flights. He took pictures and sent them to us and recommended a delicious lunch spot along with seeing all of the planned stops. Would highly recommend!

So very impressed with the punctuality of Vincent our driver, along with the company keeping us informed prior to pick up from our cruise ship in Keelung Harbour.

Vincent was easy to get along with and a careful driver and very knowledgeable with all things Taiwan and Taipei.

We visited the main tourist sights as well as the local market for street food lunch.

Vincent got us back to the ship at the time we requested, an hour before departure.

Highly recommended.
