Donna was one of the very best tour guides we have ever had in all of our years of traveling. She met us promptly at the port and picked us up in a private minivan bus that she arranged for us at a very reasonable price. She escorted us through the city of Taipei, taking us to all the well known city highlights as well as several little known local gems - including a flower market and jade market. Her english was im;peccable and she was very knowledgeable of history and all tour subjects and provided expert narration throughout the tour. We arrived at every location right on time including two changing of the guard events. She arranged an amazing and memorable lunch for us - and she secured a last minute reservation for us at one of Taipei's most popular restaurants. In summary - all four of us highly recommend booking a tour with Donna as she is outstanding and you will be lucky to have her as your guide.
Donna was a very interesting guide, answered our multiple questions, and shared a lot of information. She made sure we understood the taiwanese culture. She, with the help of Mark our driver, also managed to get us in the best dumpling restaurant at a very busy lunch time. Thank you Donna, this « gourmet » lunch will be an unforgettable memory!
Donna is wonderful! She was there on time to pick us up at our Port Terminal. She came prepared with many great ideas for the day, but we also loved that she really listened to what we wanted to see and do. She learned our names and personalities quickly in order to make the experience personal. She made us feel like VIP's from the start. She choose an excellent vehicle for 5 people, we were very comfortable and also appreciated the complimentary waters she brought. Inbetween places she gave us a history lesson about the country and we asked questions and learned alot. Be careful with choosing Donna though she makes all the other tour guides look bad, we kept comparing everyone to her the rest of the trip! We would book her again in a heart beat or just hang out with her if we were back in Taipei!
We went on a tour of Taipei with Vincent L. We went to the Yehliu Geopark which was most exciting. This is truly something to see. How sand can create such unique things is amazing to see. Then, we went to the place where people let off lanterns for good luck and good wishes. We walked around the town. There are many places to taste different types of foods from the local area. Now, to tell you about Vincent L. He was a wonderful, most caring, delightful guide to spend a day with. He treated me just like I was his Mother. He helped my son lift, steer, and go through ups and downs with a wheelchair. Every time I needed to get in and out of the wheelchair, he was almost lifting me out. He worked diligently to get me in and out of the car. His Mother should be proud of the way she raised him. He is a real "mensh." This was the most enjoyable trip. I wanted to take him home after our experience today. He is wonderful!!!
Thank you Lynn and Neal! I am really honored to take you to experience Taiwan, and hope to take you to more places of Taiwan. Wish you the best and healthy and happy. By the way, I will send you the photos soon. Best Regards, Vincent
