Solo Traveler experience
Alan is a Great Guide - hopefully you will be with him ! I chose the English / Mandarin tour group rather than the English / German and got him … he explains every detail even how to get to the spa on the hotels ( which sometimes can be challenging ) showing in the bus pictures of what to do and what’s included ! That also reflects on the rest of the tour … and you may think it might be too much but he gives it a very light funny approach making all very so easy ! Everything is thought in detail … even meal options as those are not included ! It made it feel really easy … The group was also amazing everyone from different backgrounds but friendly and funny the whole 5 days … the only thing not so good is the price as they charge a lot for solo travelers making it less accessible but if you are travelling in two - it’s quite a bargain to be honest for all that’s included and the quality of accommodations and tour itself !

This tour is a great way...
This tour is a great way to explore around Taiwan in 5 days. Alan was an entertaining host, ensuring we were well looked after along the way. Bus was safe and comfortable and the hot spring hotels were a fantastic way to finish the day.

Don't take the risk. Book Edison tour while in Taiwan.
First time to Taiwan and very happy to have booked Edison (among others). Booking: Email and whatsapp were quickly and clearly responded. Bus: new, clean, and spacious. Hotels and breakfast: awesome. Driver/Eason Tseng: drove safely, helpful and kept the bus clean. Guide (Alan Chou): well-prepared, organized, experienced, timely, orderly, systematic, knowledgeable, and responsible. The slides were amazing. He certainly has raised the bar. The daily bottled water n tissues were big bonuses. Highly recommend this tour as it's a great introduction to Taiwan. It might be more expensive but wouldn't want to take the risk of choosing other operators.

Wonderful experience great to get to know Taiwan, an amazing hospitality
Alan and the driver were outstanding super organized, what an unforgettable trip, amazing value for money, a real quality. Great recommendation to all friends and families
via Tripadvisor
A fun way to experience the beauty of Taiwan!
The trip was great! We were picked up from our hotel and met up with the rest of the group on Monday morning. There were about 28 people in our group and our guide Ciao and driver Eason did a fantastic job of showing us around the entire island and navigating winding and mountainous roads. It's a great opportunity to see different regions of Taiwan beyond Taipei. There are some days that involve walking uphill but there are always alternative options. The lodging is great. Recommend bringing some cash but most hotels and convenience stores have ATMs.

5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien cost?
+
Prices start at $790 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taipei usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taipei is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 625 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien?
+
Around 219 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taipei can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taipei and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Best of Taiwan: Sun Moon Lake, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taipei within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Taipei?
+
On Outty we rank every Taipei experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group: Yehliu, Jiufen & Pingxi Day Tour from Taipei, Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Taroko Gorge National Park Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Taipei?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Taipei?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
