Hi/Hola/Xin chào!😀 I am Shiheng from Taipei...a data programmer (SQL/Python geek), an amateur triathlete, a hobby violinist, and your English/Spanish/Chinese tour guide in Taipei! Having studied, lived, and worked in 7 countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, I am now back to the lovely island state where I call home...Taiwan!😊
I started the journey as a part-time tour guide outside regular office hours since 2017. Right after studying in Spain, Denmark, and Slovenia for my master's degree and joining free walking tours in 20 European countries myself, I felt that walking tour is a great way to share my knowledge about the history, nature, and culture of Taiwan with foreign travelers like you, and also for me to learn more about your own culture. This is exactly why although I do NOT make a living out of walking tours - unlike most tour guides you meet in touristy countries - I still obtained the official tour guide license and spend my weekends with travelers from all around the world. It's simply my passion!
I speak native Chinese (Mandarin) and Taiwanese, kind of master English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and also know a bit of German and Catalan. As I have worked and studied in several European and Asian countries, my friends are mostly from Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. So, if you happen to be from these regions, I am pretty sure that you will understand the Taiwanese culture more easily from the stories I prepare for you. So far, I have accompanied 2,000+ international travelers from 40+ countries to explore Taipei/New Taipei/Keelung, and I look forward to seeing you as well 😀
Are you a foodie, nature lover, or culture explorer? If so, I am exactly your ideal go-to person! Book a tour with me or send me a private message to personalize your itinerary (especially if you are passionate about hiking, cycling, and food)! 🚴🏻♂️
My favorite experience in Taipei so far! Shiheng is phenomenal, you can really tell he loves being a tour guide and has seriously prepared to share all the information he knows (and he knows a lot!) The hike itself is also lovely, a very peaceful and beautiful route. Highly recommend you make the trip to the area!
I really enjoyed the tour with Shiheng. He is a pleasant and caring guide. He provided a lot of interest and surprising information about Taiwan. I love the small sized group and the places we visited were special, not crowded and one felt like a local with him at our side. After the tour he even took the time to go to lunch together and deep dive into history of Taiwan. Thank you very much 😊
Shiheng is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He took time to answer all the questions and explained the traditional Taiwanese culture very well. I highly recommend his tour for everyone. He even prepared the Pineapple cake for all of us. Nice gesture!
Sergio desde el primer momento me ayudó en mi viaje a Taiwán, inicialmente haríamos el tour solo conmigo, aún siendo una única persona el siempre me confirmó el tour, por otro lado luego estuvimos viendo por la tarde la zona de Taipéi 101. El tour fue increíble recorriendo naturaleza, las explicaciones fueron interesantes y amenas, así como el trato, nos hizo un regalo de un dulce típico Taiwanés y nos invitó a un crep de cebolla. Más que un guía es un amigo. No duden en hacer este tour 100% recomendable.
