Fast, comfortable, great! Will ride again in the future. It’s just that seats will be sold out quickly if you go north on weekends, so remember to book early. Finally, I hope there will be more options for purchasing coupons.

Needless to say, the experience of taking the high-speed rail has always been good. On the contrary, I think the add-on options provided by Klook should be more diverse and must be selected, but each option is not very attractive to me, which is a pity.

We opt for customised tour and choose certain locations to visit. Our tour operator Mr Kevin is very knowledgeable and brought us to different locations around Yangmingshan. We also told him we are prone to motion sickness and he drove smoothly and expertly around the terrain. It was unfortunate that some locations are foggy in December but we still enjoyed the trip especially when we got to Floral Clock area.

I participated in the Yes Explosion Tour in Group 6 of Class 7, Grade 1. I spent an unforgettable day with my daughter under the guidance of a handsome native Korean guide, Ittageo. He explained things in detail on the bus and recommended delicious food and good products, so we ate well and bought a lot. The guide worked so hard and I am so grateful~~~~~

I recently had the pleasure of joining the Yehliu, Jiufen, Shifen, and Golden Waterfall Day Tour, and it was truly a memorable experience. While the itinerary itself was fantastic, filled with stunning sights and cultural highlights, what truly made the tour exceptional was our guide, Peter. From the very beginning, Peter set the tone for a perfect day. His energy was warm, inviting, and infectious, and he immediately made everyone feel welcome. He took the time to introduce each part of the trip, sharing insightful stories and interesting historical facts that brought the locations to life. Whether we were marveling at the dramatic rock formations at Yehliu Geopark, exploring the charming streets of Jiufen, or making wishes with sky lanterns in Shifen, Peter ensured we understood the cultural significance of each stop while still keeping things lighthearted and fun. What really stood out was how accommodating Peter was. He paid close attention to every member of the group, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. He even offered tips on where to find the best food and hidden spots at each destination, which really elevated our experience. If anyone had questions or special needs, Peter handled them effortlessly with kindness and patience. Peter also demonstrated incredible organization and time management skills. Despite a packed itinerary, he kept the tour running smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. We were able to enjoy each destination at a relaxed pace while still covering so much ground. By the end of the day, it was clear that Peter went above and beyond to make this tour one to remember. His passion for sharing the beauty of Taiwan, paired with his professionalism and warm personality, made all the difference. I highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Peter as your guide, you’re in for an exceptional experience. Thank you, Peter, for making this adventure so special!

Nowadays, people who take the high-speed rail are very accustomed to using the Klook platform to place orders. In addition to the price being a little cheaper than the high-speed rail platform, you can also purchase some additional products at a preferential price, which is very cost-effective! 👌🏼

It’s very cost-effective and convenient, and you can also accumulate high-speed rail membership points. This time you can get a 15% discount and pair it with 200 yuan of items, and get a 7-11 product card!
