I came to Taiwan for the first time in my life to travel abroad, and I think I had too high expectations. I went to a Michelin 1-star restaurant and a hotel buffet, but I was so disappointed. But after meeting our guide Yeongsim, Taipei will be a truly memorable experience. The weather was really bad on the day of the tour. However, listening to the guide's stories about delicious restaurants and souvenirs on the bus, I think I made the most enjoyable memories. If you come to Taiwan, you must go on the Yespokji Tour. Thank you so much, guide Yeongsim!!

We had so much fun in this tour! Our tour guide, Miss Kelly Shao really ensures we enjoy and shares history and culture of Taiwan. She looks and waits for us and suggested foods and must see attractions to visit in Taipei! Would definitely reco her as a tour guide, and hoping she will also be the one on our next tour booked here in Klook! My friends and I are so grateful and happy today. ❤️ A bit tiring from all walks but it’s the experience that we love and enjoyed much! 🥰💗 Thank you Klook! ❤️

The most satisfying Yesji night tour during my trip to Taiwan. Starting from Exit 5 of Ximen Station, I was able to learn about Taiwan's history that I didn't know much about while listening to the guide's explanation. The guide's neat and tidy explanation was impressive. He explained various places and gave me free time, so I was able to enjoy it. In Jiufen, the guide called my name and tasted black tea and bought it, and he gave me a lot of gifts. Thank you! I also thank you for taking a picture when I got off at Ximen Station. Thanks to you, I feel like I got closer to Taiwan. Guide Lee Young-gi is the best. Everyone, please try the bus tour. It was so much fun. I was so grateful to the guide♡♡♡
