Marc was an amazing guru - he was a walking Wikipedia. He had so much knowledge and it made the walk super fun. I’d totally do it again!

Chester was very funny, very nice way of presenting and very interesting information. This tour really helped me to better understand the historical background of Taiwan, its present and current challenges and also it was a lot of fun to connect with the other Taiwanese people who joined :) Thanks a lot for the tour Chester!

Tour guide was fun but don't go for a bathroom break as the tour continues on to the next unknown location with no communication or a headcount. So very disappointing.
