"We loved our food tour with Garen! All of the food we tried was excellent and Garen was a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Taiwan. We learned so much about Taiwanese food, culture and history throughout the three hour tour. A truly memorable experience and one of the highlights of our time in Taipei.
Thank you Garen for an amazing tour!"

Recommended guide.
"Daphne is a very friendly and kind guide. She speaks excellent English, making it easy to understand her.
During the day trip, she provides a wealth of information and takes you to beautiful photo opportunities.
She is also attentive to the participants and even picked up the car when the return walk was too difficult for me.

Great tour!
"Judy was an excellent guide, sharing her favorite places with us as well as personal stories and Taipei history. About 2/3 through the tour, a heavy rain storm hit and Judy was happy to persevere with the tour of the outdoor night market despite us all getting thoroughly soaked.
We both enjoyed her company very much and recommend her as a guide and hope to see her again on future visits to Taiwan."
"Garen is a great guide. Full of energy, very well informed and fun to depend time. We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour with her. She is a born teacher and was able to make the intricacies of Taiwan food understandable. She was completely prepared with all that we needed for a wonderful morning."
"Garen is probably the best guide we've ever had. She not only showed us the food of Taiwan, but she gave a fantastic cultural lesson about this remarkable place. She was a delight from start to finish, dealt with my dietary restriction, and I can't recommend her enough. "

Amazing experience in Teipei
"We couldn't have had a better start for our trip to Taiwan. June is the perfect host, we learned not only so much about food and its origins but also about the families who prepare and sell it. It was like spending time with friends. Thank you so much June for spending your time with us on the food market and sharing your insights on food, tradition and the history of Taiwan."
"Our tour with Garen was the highlight of our time in Taipei. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. After seeking our input, she developed in itinerary that perfectly met our needs.
Her vast knowledge of Taiwanese history and culture provided valuable context for all the sites we visited. Garen’s easy going manner made us very comfortable during the tour, and she kept us hydrated throughout on a very warm day.
Her communication was excellent during the entire process.
I highly recommended using Garen as a guide on your trip to Taipei!"
