"Great Experience"

We loved spending a few hours with Mila. She was awesome and helped accommodate our mobility needs as well as seafood allergy and vegetarian preference . It felt like we were hanging out with a friend. 10/10

"A Truly Authentic Experience!"

This tour was the highlight of my trip to Taiwan! Walking through Keelung Market with a knowledgeable local guide gave me a deep appreciation for the city’s food culture. The best part? Learning to make soup dumplings from scratch — and eating them, of course! Everything was hands-on, fun, and delicious. Highly recommend if you want a meaningful, tasty, and immersive experience.

"An Authentic Local Experience!"

I absolutely loved this tour! Walking through the bustling Keelung market with our friendly guide gave us a real feel for Taiwanese daily life. The colors, smells, and variety of local produce were incredible. The soup dumpling workshop was hands-on and so much fun – I can't believe I made my own! The flavors were amazing, and I learned techniques I’ll use at home. Highly recommend if you want a genuine taste of Taiwan beyond the usual tourist spots.
