- Companion008923219830 contributionsSpectacular natural beautyThis trip was a splendor of natural beauty. The sea and mountains were overwhelmingly beautiful. There was never a lack of beauty, and I wanted to stay for a longer period of time. I would have preferred a two night stay at Sun Moon hotel rather than one night. All in all the trip was very worthwhile. I liked the guide and the community feeling among our tour members. Bravo. I highly recommend this tour.Written September 19, 2024
- Emily R0 contributionsBeautiful views, delicious tea, and good companyThis was an excellent tour! I am traveling solo and booked a private tour. The lake was beautiful and I loved seeing all of the tea trees. The tea ceremony was so fun and I learned so much about tea and Taiwanese culture. Kiara was my guide and she was so lovely! She answered all 1000 of my questions and gave me SO MANY useful recommendations for the rest of my trip. I highly recommend booking this!Written September 16, 2024

- carolineanda0 contributionsA wonderful tour in TaiwanOn our long overdue family holiday to Taiwan we wanted to visit two picturesque areas on the western side of the country. We booked a three day private tour by Edison Tours and were delighted by our holiday. Sun Moon Lake and Alishan were even more stunning than we hoped - such a beautiful part of the country. We were looked after by Albert, our guide and Mr Wu, our driver. Albert gave us plenty of information on the culture and history of each area and heaps of suggestions on other places to visit while we were in Taiwan. His knowledge and passion added another level to our experience. Albert was sensitive to our needs and adapted our tour to suit. Mr Wu was very competent in negotiating the traffic, highways and mountainous roads, so we relaxed and enjoyed our travels. We would recommend taking this tour to see such beautiful places and in such a relaxing and enjoyable way.Written August 12, 2024

If you like taking a leisurely stroll for some beautiful mountain views, then this is the trip for you. You also get to see water buffalos up close, which was great. Obviously, there is a fence there for our protection. Also, learning about the natural hot springs and getting to experience dipping our feet into the hot springs after the stroll was a very nice experience as well. The hot spring museum in Beitou hot spring museum was very educational as well, and a place to relax after the walk. It has been a great experience and Yuki, our tour guide, has been an exceptional guide. She has been very informative, entertaining and interactive with us, and has been very helpful with helping us order food and supplying us tissue to dry our feet after the hot springs. She was also giving us options on how we want the tour to go. I find her honesty about the appeal of certain parts of the tour very refreshing and I appreciate that. Besides the humidity, everything else about the trip was great.

This is a very relaxed, easygoing tour. Guide was really nice and did a great job explaining history and sights. He makes sure that you get an opportunity to take your pictures and different stops. You start at the Yangminnshan area and see the water buffalo. It was foggy and misty in the morning, which gave a very picturesque look to the nearby hills and mountains.
BRING CASH for lunch; I would say at least 400-500TWD. The lunch spot has a lot of traditional Taiwanese dishes, but each dish is quite large and more for family-style sharing. There’s entrees from tofu to turtledove so you’ll have a chance to try something new.
The hot springs that you can actually dip your feet in is right before the actual Beitou area; it was a bit crowded but ask nicely and someone will let you in. At the end of the tour, you can ask to be dropped off at Shinlin Night market.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and a big thank you to Tony, our tour guide! Tony was calm and knowledgeable, he knew how to guide the group with a good mix of historical facts, free and easy time to explore and time to rest as well. He was a great host in livening up the mood as well! The tour was well planned and we visited many places within a day. Would recommend this tour if you’re looking to escape for Taipei’s hustle and bustle!

Peter was absolutely phenomenal as a tour guide through Beitou and Yangmingshan! From the moment we met, his infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area made every moment memorable. He didn't just show us the sights; he made us feel like old friends, sharing stories and insights that enriched our understanding of the local culture and history.
Peter has a gift for connecting with people, and it showed in how he tailored the tour to our interests, making sure each of us had a delightful experience. His recommendations for local eats and hidden gems were spot on, ensuring we enjoyed the authentic flavors and sights of the area.
Our day with Peter was more than just a tour; it was a joyful adventure that left us all smiling and more connected. He is genuinely the best tour guide we've ever had, and anyone would be lucky to explore Taiwan with him. Peter didn't just guide us through beautiful landscapes; he made our day truly happy and created a bond that made us feel like we were wandering with a knowledgeable friend. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting a personal and heartfelt tour experience!

Our guide was a kind, knowledgeable and accomodating gentleman.
My disappointment was the sites that was focussed upon. I feel that they tried to fill a day tour by slotting in a 20 minute foot soak in an overcrowded little hot spring, Beitou library and hot spring museum was unnecessary as was Chiang Kai Sheks summer house.
The time would have been better spent visiting The Palace Museum or the Monastery.

We went on this tour back in April, it was an amazing tour and nice to get out of Taipei and see more of the beautiful countryside. Our trip was made very special by our brilliant and funny tour guide named Peter, he really loves his job and was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour! We really enjoyed Peters company on the tour and we even had dinner with him before we left Taiwan. He really made it special for us and made sure he was attentive to everyone on the tour splitting his time evenly between everyone so they all had a great experience like ourselves. Thank you Peter, from Edison Tours you're great

Had a wonderful tour guided by Tony. He shepherded us around the Yangmingshan mountains and we saw hot springs, great green valleys, ponds and flowers! Our group was about 15 people, which was a nice good size, not too big but not too small. By the end of the tour I ended up with some new friends!

Our guide was Paul Chia and he was excellent. The tour was just the right length and was great because I speak English only and my parents speak English and Mandarin so this bilingual tour was great. My favourite part was Yangminshan - just stunning. The steam and boiling water were interesting. I found the foot bath just so-so more because it was busy and there were so many tourists. I highly recommend this tour!
