I had a wonderful experience during my tour in Taichung! The city offers a perfect blend of culture, nature, and local charm. Our itinerary included must-visit spots like Rainbow Village, Gaomei Wetlands, Miyahara, and the Zhongshe Flower Market. Each location had its own unique charm — from colorful street art to stunning sunsets and vibrant floral displays. What made the tour even more special was our tour guide, Tommy. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He shared interesting stories and local insights that added depth to each stop, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. His energy and humor really made the tour more enjoyable. Transportation was smooth, the schedule was well-paced, and we had plenty of time to explore and take photos. Overall, it was a memorable experience and a great way to explore the city. I highly recommend this tour — and especially Tommy — to anyone planning to visit Taichung!
