About Tour Guide Alice M.

Hi, I'm Alice from Taiwan. I have been living in Taipei for more than 25 years. I'm happy to share this fantastic place and can cater my tour for anyone based on their interests, whether it's culture, exotic nature walks/hikes, foodie explorations of all kinds, etc. As a local native here, I am very familiar with Taipei and many other places. As a local host, I will make comfortable arrangements to meet your schedule, and help you find easy transportation that makes your trip as convenient as possible! With the amazing diversity here, it's possible to enjoy a wide range of activities, such as soaking in hot springs in Beitou, Wulai or Jinshan, experiencing trying on traditional Chinese clothing in Jiufen, going monkey watching in Kaohsiung city, or riding a scooter through Taiwan’s old streets. I will customize a unique journey for your cruise into all of the historic and beautiful areas in Taiwan, accompanied with bubble tea and desserts. I myself am an avid cyclist, I have taken a few trips cycling around different areas in Taiwan, so if you also like biking I would definitely be a great partner and tour guide for you in Taiwan.
