Free tours Essenziale a Taipei

Great introduction to Taiwan’s history and culture

TaiLe was a fantastic guide, able to distill hundreds of years of Taiwan’s eventful history into brief yet well chosen sentences pertinent to the sites we visited. TaiLe asked for brief intros of participants, asked pertinent questions to keep us engaged, and invited questions from us. The ‘old town’ theme also worked quite well. I lived in Taipei long ago and was hoping for a refresher of sorts (I booked this tour to help introduce Taipei to a friend visiting from abroad), and the content of the tour well surpassed my expectations - and brought back many memories. Highly recommended.

If I could give more than five stars I would. Harold was extreme now and attentive. He was also excellent patient with all my questions I would seem to recommend him to anyone interested in a tour.

Lina was a very friendly and informative guide. We enjoyed the free foot massage and her personal anecdote about her father’s suggestion whilst in school. The tour was at a good pace and it didn’t rain which is always a bonus!

We loved our tour and learned a great deal of history in a short time

A fun tour with lots of historic facts i did not know before. Leo is a good story teller and gave us extra advice on nice places to go after the tour. I really appreciated that.

Ended up being the only one that attended the tour, but Harold did a great job answering all my curious questions and made it very entertaining. Definitely recommended if you want to learn more about the history of Taiwan beyond a typical city tour scope.

As a Taiwanese, I was surprised by how much I learned about our own history, including many of the difficult and often overlooked periods.(the sun will always come out Again thanks for the wonderful tour

Harold was an amazing guide! Rain or shine, he was definitely the highlight of our trip

My guide Chester was really friendly and really knew what he was talking about!

Chester was a great guide, I learned a lot about Taiwan history and he also gave us few insights that were really interesting!

Guide was extremely knowledgeable, fun and engaging. One of the best walking tours guides I’ve had.

Tammy, you did a great job. Nice and fun tour! Loved it!

This tour was excellent. Harold was very engaging and enthusiastic. If you like history, this is the tour for you. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Leo was a fantastic guide to both the city and history of Taipei. I’m so glad I booked this tour!

Very competent and interesting guide. Would definitely join his other tours.

Great opportunity to get to know a little about Taiwan

Harold was very friendly, approachable, and professional. We learned a lot and the tour was very enjoyable. We highly recommend it!

Very informative. Leo has a bunch of information crammed into him and his delivery of punchlines as well as ability to answer questions off the cuff was incredible. Would definitely recommend

It was a nice evening walk to the Longshan Temple. I think too much time was on the religious aspect. On how to communicate with the gods, etc. It was kinda interesting but for me it was too much information.

Leo was a great tour guide - was able to provide a lot of historical context regarding Taiwan, which was great. Very engaging and able to keep a slightly bigger group together and focused. Learned a lot!

Very knowledgeable and kind! Thank you!

Great tour! Learned a lot!

Mr leo is really funny and shared good knowledge on taiwans history.

Bridget was very nice and provided a lot of history. Information i found very interesting. We got some rest stops which was nice then we walked thru shopping areas.
