Mark Chou was our guide. He was well informed, knowledgeable and easy to listen to. He spoke excellent English. and was even entertaining. I highly recommend Mark for any day walking tour through Taipei!

We got an inside view of Taipei through our guide. The tour included the Memorial Square, a viewing of Dong Men or the east gate, and a walk by the old hospital. Interwoven with each building was the history and its significance in Taipei. From the many Han migrations, Japanese government and the mass migration after World War II, you can see how each event is commemorated in events, buildings and the culture. We made our way to Dadaocheng and through it to visit temples, local markets, a traditional puppet theatre, Snow King the landmark ice cream store. Lunch was at a popular beef noodle restaurant. We took another tour the next day to see a printing press, the old streets in Dadaocheng and walked by the Taipei Bridge. Although we were a little past rush hour we saw the "motorcycle waterfall" cascade off the bridge into the streets of Dadaocheng. It turned out to be more of a motor scooter waterfall but it was quite the scene. That said, you can customize the tour to see more of what you like. We wanted to see traditional arts and industries so choose the puppet theatre and the printing press. It's great to see a city through the people who live there. I felt we had a view into the city and the people I would not have been able to see. Finally, you can do a walking tour on your own with a guide book if you want to DIY a city walk.

We took a 2 hours long private walking tour to Dadaochecng area. Our guide was extremely well prepared, smart and nice. We got a deep dive into Taipei`s past and present.

This is a great walking tour and helps you understand the country and the city well- its cheap and convenient and very central and safe

Very interesting tour! You can see a large group of people working hard on your bed time to provide fresh food on your table.

Our multi lingual guide Dr He was knowledgeable about the city and was able to tell us interesting snippets about the monuments, the cultural, historical and or political background behind the event or monument we were looking at. The rain didn't deter us as we were kitted out with audio receivers and could hear him clearly.

Even though I'm a Taipeier, I still enjoyed quite much of this tour getting participants to know more about Taipei and experiencing locals' way of living. Apparently, the tour guide is cultivated, professional and full of enthusiasm to introduce Taipei, making me feel the tour is different from typical travel tour, which takes people to some landmark like Taipei 101 or National Palace Museum. It's really highly recommended to people who want to experience really Taipei culture.

我是土生土長的台北人，但今天參加導覽之前我對日治時期的台北城不是很了解，參加過後我開始注意起身邊的老建築。今天的導覽徐逸鴻老師是建築方面的專家，對台灣的古蹟相當有研究，這兩個小時的導覽完全不會覺得無聊，反而覺得太短了。「台北城市導覽」他們也提供私人導覽的服務，除了中文、台語導覽，也有英文和日文，大力推薦給想要在台北深度旅遊的旅人們！ I was born and raised up in Taipei but I knew little about the history of the old downtown of Taipei under Japanese rule before I participated the walking tour today. I began to look at the details of the old buildings around my hometown. The tour guide, Mr. Hsu Yi-hung is an architecture expert with profound knowledge about all the heritages in Taipei so that I didn't get bored by the two-hour tour, instead I felt the tour was too short. The "Taipei walking tour" can arrange a private tour not only in Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese but also in English and Japanese for tourists visiting Taipei. Highly recommend the Taipei walking tour to whoever wishing to travel in depth!

Even though i was born in Taipei city, but the diversity of the city did came from the multi-history of Taiwan, sometimes i can only hear or ask about it from my grand parents but people will fade.......through the city guide tour i learn a lot more details of the streets i walked before, and the tour made me feel more connected to the city again! The tour guide lady is really nice and i do like her using Taiwanese to explain the story and history! Highly recommended to those of you would like to know more about the city!

This was my first experience of Taiwan - going from the airport to this tour group and I was not disappointed. The guide was very informative and I learned about the history between Japan and Taiwan. I am glad I was able to join and would definitely recommend it to others, especially if they are interested in history (at least for the tour I joined)

I called in advance and explained that I was traveling with my husband whose Mandarin skills are rather limited. They were kind enough to add an additional guide who spoke perfect English to what was meant to be a Mandarin-only tour. It was obvious that the guides do this out of the passion for sharing the local cultural heritage, and we enjoyed our walk around the Dadaocheng neighborhood despite the heat. We also had a chance to visit the local markets where food, Chinese medicine, and all sorts of interesting artifacts were sold. The locals are so gentle and polite, and the markets are very clean (unlike most of the similar markets in other major Asian metropolis). I strongly recommend this tour if you want to go beyond the familiar tourist spots even just for a couple hours. There is a very small fee to this tour, mainly to cover the cost of the earpiece and some other admin expenses. Yes, you are given an earpiece so everyone can hear the guide loud and clear, and you would return this at the end of the tour.

Before attending Taipei Walking Tour, I only knew about the fancy parts about Taipei, mostly the urban areas such as Taipei 101 and other department stores. After joining the Taipei Walking Tour, they showed me the historic part of Taipei city, it was something out of my expectation. This fun and easy tour they planned was amazing, and it is the fastest way to know more about the real Taipei.

They got really professional guide! They helped me know detailed historical background and cultural stuff of Taiwan(They even explain the ceremony and how to worship Chinese God to me! Really interesting!). Walking around, I was then totally fascinated by this old Taipei block. My best experience in Taipei!

Taipei walking tour leads me to the unknown but the most impressive part of Taipei. The guide is nice abf very willing to answer aNY kinds of questions in fluent language. Nothing is better than that.
