Amazing tour! Our favorite is Gaomei Wetlands, it becomes windy and cold in December. York is also a nice tour guide, with some quizzes here and there. He also helps us order things.

This tour is an excellent all-in-one package, allowing you to explore many beautiful attractions in just one day, making it a great time-saver. Our enthusiastic tour guide, Vincent, provided us with a wealth of information not only about the attractions included in the package but also shared valuable tips for tourists visiting Taiwan. He was incredibly kind and even encouraged us to reach out to him for advice or assistance, even after our trip ended. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the best of Taiwan!

This tour allows you to go around each stop yourself. It mainly serves as your mode of transpo. We are DIY travelers, but we booked this tour coz it saves a lot of time in covering Rainbow Village and Gaomei Wetlands, among other stops. Sheila, our tour guide, was very informative and nice. She shared background info about each stop and provided instructions in Mandarin and English. We had lunch at a mall (own expense) at Park Lane by CMP. The popular original milk tea shop has a branch there, so we were able to try it. Our only issue was that the time allocated for Gaomei Wetlands was just 45mins, which we thought was going to be longer. We weren't able to reach the end of the boardwalk because we didn't want to rush heading back. There's no seat assignment, so we recommend leaving something on the seats to reserve them whenever you get off the bus at each stop.

Booking tickets on Klook is very convenient. After making an online reservation, the store quickly called us to confirm the time. Great service. Teacher Xiaowei on the 27th. The massage was strong enough and comfortable. The essential oil was very fragrant. The teacher’s warm hands were on the cold The day massage is more divided, recommend~

Cai'er's son is in college and has never tried it before. He wants to give it a try, but he said it is not as powerful as he thought. Although it is still comfortable, he thinks the price is a bit expensive~
