The tour is well organized and ran very smoothly. Good balance of coverage around Taiwan. Alan, our guide, is great, very knowledgable and approachable, with excellent English and presentation skill. Very enjoyable experience.

This tour is a great way to explore around Taiwan in 5 days. Alan was an entertaining host, ensuring we were well looked after along the way. Bus was safe and comfortable and the hot spring hotels were a fantastic way to finish the day.
