Experience the best of
Taipei with Withlocals

"We did the 10 tastings tour with Cola. She was punctual, easy to understand and showed us many places where we wouldn't have visited. Everything was super tasty and we were able to experience a wide variety of local foods. Highly recommended"

"Smart, funny, knowledgeable, perfect English, could not have been a better experience. We highly recommend "

"My wife and myself had an amazing time with Nicolas. His knowledge on Taipei and in particular the local food was great. We sample many greats delights and he also recommended restaurant and night markets to visit. Whenever I visit a new country the first consideration is a food tour. Getting the right person is important. Nicolas did not failed us he was interesting, funny and made our stay a lot easier."

"Jones is super nice and very knowledgeable about Taiwan food and culture. He made sure we were well fed and well taken care of. He was also adaptable to things we liked and did not like. Would highly recommend!"

"June was an INCREDIBLE guide and made us feel welcome immediately. In addition to showing us so many delicious spots, she sprinkled in a ton of historical/cultural tidbits and facts that we’d talk about for the rest of our trip. June, thanks for starting our Taiwan trip on such a great note; we had an amazing time and left VERY full! "

"The tour was great. Cola led us to different stands in Dongmen allowing us to taste different local specialities. She handled the challenge of one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian customer with brilliance. Additionally, she volunteered to help us get presents for our nieces and fruit for the following few days! Absolutely recommendable! Thank you Cola for the wonderful morning!"

"We did a 4:00 PM tour with June the afternoon of our arrival in Taipei. June was such a delight and made you feel absolutely welcome from the minute you met her. Perfect English speaker and very intelligent about world affairs, local information, and international travel. We had an amazing time trying so many local dishes; potstickers, dumplings, soups, sausages, fried street foods, dried fruits, scallion pancakes, fruit drinks, teas, dried fruit infused water, stir fried water spinach and rice dumplings to name a few. We were so stuffed by the end we couldn't eat another bite. June lives in the neighborhood, and knows everyone, you really feel like you are part of the community. We looked through local shops and talked to all the shopkeepers laughing and asking questions. Everyone made us feel so welcome. It was an amazing immersion into local culture and I highly recommend a tour to start out your Taipei experience. "

"Our food tour in Dongmen was an absolute highlight! Cola, our guide, was fantastic—more like a friend showing us around than a formal guide. Her infectious energy and local knowledge made every stop fun. Highly recommend if you want a tasty, authentic experience!"

"If you wanted a friend you never knew you had in Taipei. Garen is the one. Garen was great and filled with knowledge of the area. So many places we would not have seen if it was not for Garen and her grasp of the Taiwan culture. She made our first day in Taipei memorable. Filled with sites and great memories. Her food tasting tour was delicious and amazing. We tasted foods we would not think to eat and each one was better than the next. The fruit. Street food and restaurant. Truly AMAZING! We did not feel rushed and her secret places were not crowded. She was a very good communicator and from the start you can tell she loved what she does as a tour guide and wanted to be your ambassador to Taiwan. Thank you for the best introduction to the foods, sites, and history of Taiwan. Cheers to our new friend in Taipei…… Garen"

"Jane did such an amazing job with this tour. We got to try a variety of local foods in a fun part of the city. It was the first thing our group did when we arrived in Taipei, and we all agree this was the perfect way to start the trip. Jane gave us so much insight into Taiwanese culture and history. She kept the mood fun and energetic. We all had such a great time! Plus, all the food was so delicious. Would do this trip again and again if I could!"
