The tour's activities were excellent, and the guide was fantastic. I highly recommend it, and Erick -the tourist guide-.goes beyond limits to make this tour a great experience. If you go to Taiwan, do not miss this five-day tour, and make sure Eric is your guide. All the hotels were first-class hotels, and we visited the main attractions in Taiwan.

Amazing 5-day tour, perfectly managed from our tour guide Chia Hao! We have seen so many beautiful places around the island, hotels are amazing, only 5 stars and our driver and guide managed every day in detail from wake-up call until dinner choices. Thanks so much, it was also great to speak german with Chia Hao.

We are not crazy about the hotels, some of the hotel rated 4 to 5 stars does not come close to what we think is 4 or 5 stars, it does not look very clear.

I understand that most the overall price is dictated by the price of the hotel rooms but for the solo traveler it’s a bit discouraging.
