Kevin is one of the most instrumental and organized travel consultants, translators, and business associates I've come across in my travels to Asia. He went above and beyond and helped us secure meetings with producers in each region easily. He is full of great ideas, and is available to help outside of this experience when we need his assistance. Each day we were on time to all of our destinations and expectations were clearly laid out with each host. Thank you Kevin - we will look forward to our trip with you next year in Taiwan / China. Cheers, Jordan

Reading the reviews we were a bit reluctant to book this tour. But it turned out to be a great day! The scenery is amazing and Josephine adequately led the group from one place to another. If you like to spend a lot of time in one place, than this is not the tour for you because you don't get an awful lot of time at the different spots. But if you're looking for a tour in which you want to see many things in one day, then we would definitely recommend it. Josephine was very friendly and was willing to explain a lot. Everything was perfectly organized and the lunch was amazing.

Taiwan is a small island with lots to see. Many people would be inclined to hire a car and drive themselves, but this is not always a good idea in Taiwan. Taiwan is mountainous, it's topography is rarely easy to follow. Therefore, arranging a tour is worth considering. You can consult the friendly people at My Taiwan Tour Travel Services directly or arrange your own itinerary on-line
