“Wonderful Day!!!”

We had an amazing day with Donna. She was such a caring and knowledgeable guide. She even had to make some changes to our itinerary on the day of our tour due to an injury that I had, and she was so understanding. Our exciting day included painting and releasing a lantern in a picturesque little town, enjoying a delicious Taiwanese lunch at the most popular restaurant in Taipei, sightseeing in the city, touring museums, and visiting a night market. Donna took care of everything--hiring a great driver, making sure we had lunch reservations, ensuring that I could do things with my injury, teaching us all about the history and culture of Taiwan, even standing in lines to get food for us at the crowded night market. If you are looking for a guide on your visit to Taiwan, contact Donna. You will have a wonderful day too!!!!

Donna C.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you in Taiwan. I am glad we were able to pivot the itinerary to accommodate your injury while still ensuring you experienced the lanterns, the local cuisine, and the night market. Providing a seamless, professional, and insightful journey is always my priority. Safe travels, and I look forward to welcoming you back to Taiwan in the future! will send the photos soon.

“A very interesting day”

Donna is a very good guide. She not only planned a comprehensive day to introduce me to Taipei but took the time to explain the transit system in detail so I can easily get around Taipei on my own. I would highly recommend her.

“Tour of Taipei”

We met Donna C. At the Cruise Port and went on our tour of the city of Taipei . She and our driver took us to all the sites you would want to see and then we went to lunch and the meal was great. I would give Donna 8 stars if I could . She was great and if you go in that area of Taipei and the country. Do your self a favor and book Donna. You will be very happy with your choice. LWB

Donna C.

Thank you very much for your lovely review and kind words. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with you in Taipei. I am delighted that you enjoyed the tour and lunch. Your support means so much to me, and I truly hope to see you again on your next visit.
