Full-Day Private Custom Keelung Shore Excursions

Michael was already waiting for us in the terminal when we disembarked for our full-day shore excursion. He asked questions about our priorities and listened carefully to our replies. With his knowledge and suggestions and sense of timing, we managed to hit all of the “high spots” plus a couple more! Michael asked us what we’d like for lunch and then took us to the perfect place for us to enjoy delicious local food with local people. He spoke excellent English, which was a big help. After the day’s tour, we are arrived back at the ship with a comfortable amount of time to spare, but feeling that we’d made the most of every moment. Highly recommended!

Roger met us exactly on time in an immaculate car. He was knowledgeable about all of the local areas. For example he showed us the best place to stand to see the changing of the guard at the Chiang Kai Shek memorial. He guided us through the Confucius temple to have our visit pamphlet stamped. His choice of lunch restaurant was perfect. He was attentive helpful and most pleasant to spend the day with. Most highly recommended.

On a cruise from Japan to Taiwan, our group of 5 people arranged their own tour of Taiwan via viator.com. Our driver/guide “Tim” was absolutely marvellous listening to what we wanted to visit and advising us on what was possible in the limited time we had available. We visited the Tao temple, Confucius temple, Taipei 101 (not going to top), hot springs in the hills and the geological park with strange stones. The vegetarians in our group were pleased with the lunch they had in Taipei 101 food market as Tim found a good place for them. Tim did a great job comfortably driving us and explaining all the sights to us. We all found it very enjoyable and educational and were given a very good impression of Taiwan. We would highly recommended any cruise passengers booking a similar tour with Tim as their guide, he was very friendly and we made very good use of the limited time we had available thanks to his excellent advise.

On a cruise, didn’t like any of the cruise excursions, found this on Viator. Great choice! Alan showed us authentic Taiwan. Good communication and hosting skills. Highly recommended

We had a really fabulous private tour with out tour guide and driver Roger We agreed on our itinerary with suggestions and recommendations from Roger on the day although we could have done this ahead of the tour. Roger confirmed our meeting arrangements by what's app the night before and we were met by Roger at the cruise terminal punctually as planned. The car was as described clean and comfortable. Roger is s careful driver and was considerate of our comfort anf needs throughout. We were provided eith bottled water too. We saw so much and appreciated Roger' s vast local knowledge and the detailed information he gave us. We asked to eat at a local testaurant he could recommend and we had an excellent meal with him. He showed us how to eat the dished we selected which was fun too. There were plenty of photo stops and overviews of that which we were seeing. He parked close to venues etc which was great for my husband who had injured his leg earlier in our stay. Roger was patient and helpful when it came to locating an atm to get some currency. We haf a very full and interesting day and saw so much too I was a little anxious about getting back to the boat in time as the traffic was heavy coming back from the lantern ceremony but I need not hsve worried as Roger ensured we were back in good time. We had an amazing day and had a really excellent tour and hood memories of our visit to Taiwan. I have no hesitation in recommending YOLO tours and would say that Roger is a really excellent tour guide.

My wife and I recently did this day tour while in Taipei Keelung Harbour on a cruise. Alan was our guide for the day and he gave us an exceptionally good tour of three destinations of our choosing. We had chosen to go to Yehliu Geopark, Taipei 101 building and Jiufen Old Street during our allocated 8 hours and he worked out the best order to do these in to avoid crowds and bad traffic. We met him as planned at 7.30am in the Keelung harbour terminal building and absolutely enjoyed every moment of our day. He goes to these places often and was particularly fun to be with in Jiufen as he knows the shops that give very tasty samples of their wares and we had lunch together in an authentic and very reasonably priced restaurant full of locals. Alan's driving is safe, his car was spotless, his English is great and he is a very nice man. We saw so much in this day at a fraction of the price that other passengers from the cruise would have paid for less sightseeing. The fact that you can choose the places where you want to go makes this company superior to many others. We can absolutely guarantee a great day if you use this company, and particularly Alan, for your shore excursion while in the Taipei area.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this type of tour... very convenient, hassle free, itinerary is customized to the preference of the clients!!! And Frank, our driver and tour guide is courteous, friendly and accommodating to our requests!

This was a great experience and well worth the cost. The freedom to tour at your own pace and ability to choose where you want to go is a great feature. Alen Yen, our driver/guide was fantastic and having really good wifi in the car was a bonus we didn't expect. We could not rate this excursion highly enough

The guide was 15 minutes late for our meeting. The guide, who barely understands and speaks English. Every word he looks at Google to understand what it is about. It seems that he does not know the history and background of the places we have reached. Since it is difficult to communicate in English, every question we asked he had to use Google to understand what it was about. Also, in the car we toured, sitting for three adults in the back is uncomfortable. We were very disappointed. We expected a tour guid and got a good driver. We do not recommend hiring him as an English tour guides.

Our private tour on March 14, 2018 was wonderful. Viator set us up with YOLO Taiwan International Travel Company Limited. Our guide, Lawson, is founder and co-owner of the company. Lawson is wonderful. He was professional and very knowledgeable about Taipei. Lawson exceeded all expectations.
