About Tour Guide Eva J.

Hi! I’m Eva. I’ve lived in the U.S. and Slovakia, and backpacked solo through more than 30 countries, I love meeting people from all over the world.

Growing up in Taipei, I’ve always been curious about Taiwan’s folk traditions, history, and Indigenous cultures. Like most Taiwanese, I’m a total foodie. I love exploring night markets, tasting local specialties, and even cooking myself! On my tours, I enjoy sharing not just the sights, but the little hidden gems, delicious bites, and authentic experiences that make Taiwan feel alive.

Come join me! Let’s explore Taipei together with stories and flavors you’ll remember long after the trip!

“Amazing tour guide!”

Eva was an incredible guide for an evening in Taipei with myself and my son. She was so kind, knowledgeable, fun, and professional - we feel so fortunate to have spent this memorable evening with her! My son is also learning Mandarin, and Eva went out of her way to help him practice with shop owners, at a tea ceremony, night market, etc - she is SO good with kids, and we would highly recommend her to other families. Thanks again Eva for sharing your love of Taiwan with us, we had a wonderful time!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure spending the evening with you both. Caleb was amazing and so engaged in every activity! He really put in a lot of effort practicing his Mandarin, and I was so impressed. I hope our paths cross again someday, and I can't wait to see how much his Mandarin has improved by then!
