Houtong tours

Our guide, Zhang Jingrong, told us very interesting stories about Taiwan on the bus, and he spoke good Japanese, so we were very reliable. The tour was packed with content, so we kept a close eye on the clock as we rushed, but he told us interesting stories about the parks, waterfalls, and each place. On the bus, he made a reservation in advance for a wonderful tea shop in Jiufen, our final destination, so we were able to enjoy tea without having to wait in line. Thanks to that break, we were able to climb the stairs in Jiufen with energy. When we got off, he also explained about the nearby night market, and was really helpful until the very end. It was my first time booking a tour online, so I was a little worried, but there were no problems and it was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you!

We visited the scheduled itinerary throughout the whole day and set off on time. A bottle of mineral water was provided for each person on the bus. The only drawback was that the bus we were assigned was too small and crowded. The bus driver, Mr. Liu, had good driving skills. The tour guide Nana would also adjust the itinerary according to the weather conditions. We were supposed to go to Yehliu-Jiufen before going to Shifen that day, but because it didn't rain in Shifen after visiting Yehliu, we adjusted the itinerary to go to Shifen first and then to Jiufen. This also gave us the opportunity to see Jiufen at night. Nana was very nice, attentive, introduced the attractions, and helped take pictures, but her Cantonese needed to be improved a little bit 😅. Overall, it was a good experience 👍🏻

Roger was a great guide and super accommodating! He took lots of photos for us and drove us safely to and from each destination. He gave us a comprehensive overview of the history and culture of Taiwan. We enjoyed it overall. The only qualm I have is the tour said it ended at 8pm but we got back to the hotel at 6:30. It would’ve been nice to enjoy a bit more time eating at Shifen and Jiufen.

Ben Liao was our tour guide. He was very friendly and professional. Ben arrived on time. We had a disabled person and Ben was very accommodating. It was raining that day but Ben was very patient and careful with his driving. He accompanied us in all the sightseeing and provided excellent and detailed explanations. We went an hour over our booking time due to inclement weather and traffic but Ben didn't complain or charge us extra. Overall, a great experience. A+ service. Highly recommend.

Private tour. Guide and driver arrived punctually at our hotel lobby. It was a whole day tour and Mr Chen was very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed the day out and highly recommend going with a tour. Exhausted after the day, it was hot, but we were very happy.

The overall service was good. Thanks to the driver Charles, who was very professional and patient in explaining. His English was also excellent. I will choose them again next time I come to Taiwan.

Absolutely book this tour!! I had never heard of Klook before taking this trip, but I found this tour and it was the first thing I booked after buying my airplane tickets. And it was totally worth it. I booked this tour as I have a deep interest in Japanese Colonial history in Taiwan, which this tour covered but it was so much more. The itinerary was spot on, but what made this tour so great was our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable, and clear in his explanations. He was so happy when we asked questions, and was so excited to see us enjoying the trip. He knew all the secrets of the places we visited, and even knew the "secret" paths around Jiufen Old Street. He really made this tour sometime special, so if you are interested in the itinerary, I would highly recommend booking this tour. 10/10

Josh was very friendly and helpful throughout our journey to Shifen and Jiufen. He took photos of us, though it was sad he couldn't join us when we were in Jiufen because there were lots of people and finding parking was a bit hard during that time (Sunday). The transport was excellent and comfortable, and he made sure the air conditioning was cool enough because the weather was very hot during that time. Honestly, nothing to complain about except maybe when in the restaurant, you can let us choose a meal that is within our budget because I don't really like the porridge much, but that's only my preference. Josh was kind enough to stop by and let us take pictures of the colourful fishing village when in Keelung, and we really appreciated the effort. Other than that, it was a very pleasing experience, and I would definitely recommend Muslim travellers book this trip.
