Sher – Malaysia

Truly enjoyed my experience! Managed to tour the whole island without needing to worry about accommodation and entrance fees. My tour guide - Alan Chou, was phenomenal! His explanations in both mandarin and English were well done and he made sure to engage with the whole group & made each of us feel seen and appreciated. He’s such a friendly and caring tour guide and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! Truly loved every moment of it! And for someone who hasn’t been to Taiwan before, this is a great tour to join! I will definitely join this again in the years to come if I visit Taiwan in future. Thank you Alan for making this a great, memorable and remarkable tour. And thank you to the tour members for making it fun and enjoyable!

My wife and I had a great time on this trip. Our tour guide, Jiahao, is the best Chinese-speaking tour guide I have encountered anywhere (in North America, Europe, or Asia), which says something.
