Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Don’t waste your time or money. Worthless and expensive!
Terribly overpriced for what you get. Tour guide arrived a half hour late and we barely made the sunset at Taiwan 101 by 2 minutes…very stressful. Guide was sweet, but provided very little commentary about the city we were touring. We were taken to a delicious restaurant, but shocked that it ate up an hour of our tour and we were handed the bill after. First tour that food was extra. So in short, we paid well over 300.00 for a round trip cab ride to our hotel and observatory entrance which probably totaled 25.00. Guide did not even accompany us to observatory to talk about what we were seeing from the top. Finished with a view of Rainbow Park and someone walking a night market with us. Big waste of time and money!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the 30-minute delay at the beginning of the tour. We understand that punctuality is particularly important when a guest hopes to experience sunset at Taipei 101, and we regret that the delayed start affected the timing of your visit. We would also like to clarify a few details for future guests. This experience is a private and customizable tour, and the itinerary is arranged according to each guest’s interests and available time. As discussed prior to the tour, your itinerary included Rainbow Park and a local night market, along with other planned stops. During the tour, you decided that you no longer wished to visit Ciyou Temple, and our guide respected your preference and adjusted the itinerary accordingly. Regarding the tour inclusions, the Taipei 101 Observatory admission ticket and private transportation are included in the tour price. Meals and personal expenses are not included. As with any private customizable itinerary, the exact timing of individual attractions—particularly sunset viewing—cannot be guaranteed because of traffic, crowds, weather, and changes requested during the tour. We are also sorry that the overall value of the experience did not meet your expectations. The tour price reflects a private experience with a dedicated guide, private transportation, included Taipei 101 Observatory admission, and the flexibility to customize the itinerary rather than simply transportation between attractions. We sincerely regret that the delayed start affected your experience, and we appreciate your feedback. We will continue to improve our communication and time management so that future guests can enjoy a smoother and more comfortable experience from the beginning of their tour. Thank you again for choosing our service, and we wish you safe and enjoyable travels.

Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert cost?
+
Prices start at $139 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 Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert?
+
Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Taipei: Customizable Private Tour with a Local Expert 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.
