About the operator
- 664margarete00Taichung free walking tourI had a great Tour with May today! I learned a lot about Taichung and Taiwan. We took lots of pictures. Highly recommend!
- edisonohmingei00Outstanding Experience. Highly Recommend.Excellent tour. We spent two hours leisurely walking around the central area, looking at various historical and meaningful landmarks. Our guide, Eddie, was very well prepared. He had old photos and all the necessary historical tidbits to share with everyone. In fact, before the actual tour, we also had the chance to let the tour guide know if we have any specific interests. So, for example, one person in our group mentioned that she was interested in architecture. Eddie therefore prepared more materials on this aspect. Very informative. Very satisfied. Two hours well spent.
- RinaRinaSakura00When in Taichung, do the locals do !With our hosting guided Elaine and Ray, my husband and I had a great day walking tour around the city. We got more than expected just to taste great 5-6 cuisine dishes but also historical guide around the city. Insightful and personalized tour we enjoyed their company every minute of it. Thank you both! We will come back again
- Joey J00Great way to experience Taichung food and historyWe only had one day to enjoy Taichung and wanted to experience some Taiwanese food and learn about and see some of the city. We decided on a half-day, private, tour and it was a great decisions. Our booking was quickly confirmed and we were placed in contact with our tour guide Tony who immediately contacted us and made himself available for ANY questions we had about the tour, or Taiwan in general. He helped us with train schedules and finding the meeting place ( which was very simple ). On the day we had what I can only describe as an excellent time wandering through the old part of town near the train station. We visited the quite large market ( I know. You think you’ve seen an Asian market before, but this one is a little different and worth a visit ), ate a LARGE variety of local food, and learned a lot about Taiwan and Taichung. Tony made they day Diane and enjoyable. I highly recommend TC TimeWalk in general and Tony specifically!
- Alleinreisender102000A very interesting insight into the history of Taichung!I am very glad I joined this tour during my trip to Taichung. I have learned so much about the history of the place and was able to marvel over its architectural landmarks. The walking tour has given me a deeper understanding of how the city and the people's culture became into what it is today. The tour includes notable stops such as the old Taichung Station, Miyahara Eye Hospital, ASEAN Square, etc. It was a pity the tour happened at night and some of the establishments were closed but I think it was still a worthwhile visit. Ashley, my tour guide, was very knowledgeable and had some great recommendations of the city's must-visit spots. I would highly recommend joining their tour. I definitely think it is worth it!
- MuttonCutter00Best Birthday Trip Ever! 🥳Guide: Tony Pai Date: 6 August 2019 Went on a solo trip to Taiwan in August and I had a terrific time exploring different parts of Taichung under the guide of Tony from TC TimeWalk! It was only his second time showing a traveller around back then, but Tony was a tremendous help to me not just during my trip, but way before I flew as well. He was literally a walking TC Wikipedia and was always contactable, friendly, reliable and ready with information. We are still in touch till today! While travelling solo may seem oh-so-common to avid travellers, it was my first completely #soloyolo trip to anywhere in the world. What's more special was that this walking tour happened to fall on my birthday (that's how I still remember the date hahaha. Sorry about the delayed review)! It was truly a memorable trip as it was also my first time spending my country's national day in a foreign place. To add on to the already epic experiences, I even encountered my first earthquake and typhoon after I left TC for TPE. :o Okay, back to TC TimeWalk. I love walking tours in general and TC TimeWalk certainly met my expectations. I learned so much about this history-rich region and visited places that I would never had discovered or stepped into on my own. One such place is the 千越大廈. The walking tour I signed up for didn't include a tour up this old, abandoned building so I gamely went in on my own during my free time the next morning, and that was hours before I was scheduled to head to TPE so you just can't miss it! I won't reveal much about this place so you've got to find out on your own when you join the tour! I believe they organise special night walks to this place too! All I can say is that you should bring a repellent or you'll end up as mozzie food (like me). The mozzies there are ferocious! There are also some important rules in place that you must know before you can head up, so please ask your guide. Overall, I really loved the tour (my second favourite spot is Miyahara store #2), the trip, the food and the people of TC! Thank you Tony and TC TimeWalk for making my birthday trip a crazy memorable one! 🥰
- Fairfield00Very informative and well presentedOur tour guide Miguel, was very pleasant and very well versed on the history of downtown Taichung and led us on an interesting 2.5 hour tour of the city explaining both its history and it’s development through the ages. Options were given to take time out for a little shopping or ice cream and to point out areas or points of interest that may require more time to enjoy out with the tour. The tour is not long in term# of walking distance but crams in lots of interesting sites and historical references. Miguel spoke perfect English and made sure we got the most from his time. If you are in Taichung then I would highly recommend this tour.
- Angela L00Excellent walking tour with IvyWe had an amazing walking tour through Taichung with our guide, Ivy. She was incredibly informative and insightful when she was showing us around the local sights and foods around central Taichung (and very patient in answering our incessant questions). Ivy even suggested several things to do for the rest of our time in Taichung. I would highly recommend this tour!
- Nakia E00Great tourYou gonna enjoy the tour, the tour guide Jack Pai was extremely knowledgeable about the place and the history of the buildings and the people. I can totally recommend it.
- inaicon00Great introduction to the city!I had a great evening with TC Time Walk! Ashley did a great job introducing the city and showing me around. We made several stops including the Miyahara ice cream shop, which is in a beautiful old eye hospital. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is visiting and wants an overview of the city.
- Catherine L00Great city tour of TaichungGreat little tour of Taichung showcasing all different sides of Taichung, it’s people, history, architecture and some foods! Our guide jack was well informed and kept the tour interesting. I’d highly recommend the tour, even if it’s just for the stop at miyahara 😝
- tiarabun00Learn about the history of TaichungTaichung isn’t easy to navigate for non-Mandarin speaking tourists (Taiwan is generally very hard once you’re outside Taipei City). My Mandarin is rusty and my partner doesn’t speak any at all. We booked TC Time tour because my partner had a good experience with something similar in Taipei. We had a private night walking tour (not intentional) by volunteer tour guide Peter. It was very nice for me to finally be able to take a break from speaking Mandarin and be able to ask questions in English. Peter is very passionate about Taichung, and he’s so, so hospitable. He gave us some Taiwanese snacks to try and even prepared a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the tour. The walking tour didn’t cover a lot of locations, but he told us a lot of the city and the contributions that the Japanese made during its occupation. After the tour he even offered us a ride the Fengjia night market, which was not in the itinerary at all. We got to meet his wife, who was also very friendly and we enjoyed getting to know the couple. We wanted to go to Sun Moon Lake on another day and he researched the route for us! I highly recommend this tour, and it’s best to do it on your first night so that you can revisit the spots he recommends in day time. I did the suncake DIY experience at the Suncake Museum and it was very fun!
- 43LKV00A great way to know the history of TaichungI can't thank Vick highly enough for an excellent and fun evening tour. I learned a lot about the history of some iconic buildings and places in the city. It's amazing to know how the original parts of these infrastructures were still preserved while being infused with modernism. One of my favorite parts of the tour is when he showed us some before and after pictures of several famous landmarks in the city. Moreover, having a diet restriction, Vick went an extra mile by taking us to a shaved ice dessert shop instead of the infamous ice cream parlor. I really appreciated his time, effort and kindness. Overall, this is one of my favorite free tours and please don't miss it when you come to Taichung.
- 360ff00A great guided walking tourOur tour guide is Jack Bai. The tour was very informative and interesting. Jack told us stories about the buildings and areas around Taichung Train Station and pointed out hidden gems and symbolic features of the historical buildings. Thank you Jack and TC Walk for providing this free tour. Highly recommend this.
- matthewtan9100Excellent TourGot a great historical tour with Pai, the guide for today. Had some great sample of foods too and an amazing & informative walk throughout!

I really enjoyed this tour. My guide Shine was obviously passionate about sharing the culture and history of Taichung. I walked away with a better understanding of the city and what makes it unique, as well as historical context for why the city is the way it is today.

One of the best experiences I had in Taichung! My friend and I had a really great time learning about Taichung history and architecture. Our tour guide Hans was such a nice and knowledgable man. He gave us a lot of interesting facts and he had good ability to connect us to the lesson.
