Sandra –

Enjoyed our tour, just wish we could spend more time in Shifen felt rushed. Would have liked to experience crossing the bridges. Amy was very kind and answered all our questions.

Ann was our guide, very kind and patient! This tour was definitely a must, Ann helped pre-book the lanterns for release at Shifen so they were ready once we arrived and that saved a lot of time for us to wonder about! Jiufen and Shifen are essentially large beautiful markets, so having the nice transportation and free time to explore was perfect

Anne was amazing! We arrived at the meeting point 15 mins before the time we were suppose to meet and she and the bus were already there waiting for everyone. She give us all the information needed in our ride to the waterfall and then guide us through the whole experience and give us tips for food and shopping in the area. Will strongly recommend !!!
