As online reviews were fantastic, we spontaneously decided to give Withlocals a try and did not regret it! The booking process was quick and easy, and our guide Jack turned out to be the perfect choice for us. Time was flying as he had so many interesting places to show and facts to tell us, so we were actually sad when the tour was over - much too quickly, but unfortunately we did not have more time. Jack did not chase us from one site to another, but was giving us many opportunities to stop, take pictures, discover details and ask questions - which were all patiently and competently answered. We really had a fantastic day and would really like to recommend both Jack and Withlocals to Taiwan/Taipei travelers!I have a wonderful time with Chia-Chien, she is out-going and speak excellent English and knowledge about the places we visited regard the history so I learn many things about her country and she is a great host.

Had a wonderful tour in Taipei with Chia-Chien L from withlocals.com. She is knowledgeable as well as friendly. I learned much on the History of Taipei, and we were just in time to see the guards in the Presidential palace do their act. There followed a long, pleasant bicycle ride to the north-western part of Taipei, where we had a light supper at an authentic place. Chia-Chien L had insights and tips to share, and the day will remain a memorable experienceWe were on a cruise and booked a private tour of Taipei for our family of 4 with Chia-chien. She met us right at the port and off we went. She has a lot of energy, is a lot of fun, and took us to the best sites in Taipei and explained her culture and history.
