Enjoy the best of both worlds in this day tour that brings you to explore the most scenic coastal route in Taiwan (Highway 11), and wander valleys bordered by mountain ranges (East Rift Valley). Highway 11 is often referred to as the most beautiful road to drive along in the whole of Taiwan with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the coastal mountain ranges on the other. Flanked by the Central mountain ranges to the west and the Coastal mountain ranges to the east, the East Rift Valley National Scenic Area reminds one of a realm hidden away from the rest of the world.

We booked a private day tour with Jeff and loved it! Jeff is really nice, knowledgeable, and professional and speaks really good English. My 7 year old daughter was along for the tour and had no problem keeping up. The trails were easy but really pretty. We had a great day and would highly recommend this tour.

I travelled to Taipei with my parents who are older and my brother. We booked Alen to go on the day trip to Jiufen/Shifen and it was such a delightful experience. Alen was prompt, friendly, explained and answered any questions we had. He was also very knowledgeable of the area and voluntarily offered to take group photos at various sightseeing points. He was great at dropping us off and telling us what we can see, eat and do and was very clear about where we would meet for pickup. He was very mindful of time and overall so wonderful to us. My parents were very impressed at the tour and enjoyed it so much for their first visit to Taiwan. Thank you Alen! Hope to see you again!

這是我們半年內第二次找陳先生做包車旅遊,每次的經驗都很棒。陳先生專業且誠懇,之後去花蓮需要包車還是會再找他。 Ivan is very professional and sincere. We've had two customized tours with Ivan and will absolutely book another tour with him again in the future when visiting Hualien.

We've dealt with Eddie form Yolo tours on many occasions while preparing our tour in Taipei. Eddie was always available and was getting back to us within a short period of time. We had booked a 2 days tour with another couple joining the Celebrity cruise to Asia on October 2020. Unfortunately with the Covid-19, we had to cancel our cruise therefore cancelling the Taiwan tour and as soon as we advised Eddie, the refund we had paid for the tour was back to our bank account within 1 hour. We had some issues with "Paypal" and Eddie was always ready to support us during the process of the refund. Yolo tour is a very reliable company and we will never hesitate to do business with them if we ever visit Taiwan and we strongly recommend this tour operator for your private excursion in Taipei.. Thanks to Eddie and Yolo tours for their professionalism

Our party of 5 traveled to Taipei in November and we went on a 4 day private tour with Justaiwan Tour. I worked with Max to plan the trip and he was extremely patient in answering all my questions and worked with me to modify my itiniaries. Warren was our tour guide and he was very accommodating, going out of his way to make sure that we had a good time. He was even willing to adjust his work hours and worked longer on certain days so that we can keep up with our itineraries. The tour company and Warren were very responsive; they made us feel like we had a family in Taipei who's always watching out for us to make sure that we are safe and have a great time. I reccomended the tour company to all my family and friends and will definitely contact them again when I return to Taiwan.
