Take a private car tour of Taipei with Nicolas Ying!
We had a great tour with Nicolas Ying. We customized our tour with helpful suggestions from Nicolas. We went to Grand Hotel, Hall of Martyrs to see the changing of the guard Houtong Cat Village, Jiefun incl visit to temple, and Liu An Historic house. Nicolas found great spot to try traditional Taiwanese breakfast and also a lunch spot at Jiefun with a spectacular view of the Harbour from the hills. Highly recommend a private Car tour as you get to do what you want and gain local knowledge from your guide.

Awesome trip with Bubble!
We had a wonderful experience with Bubble! He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire tour. We especially enjoyed all the discussions about Taiwan’s history, politics, and culture—it made the trip much more meaningful and gave us a deeper understanding of the places we visited. Bubble was also incredibly warm, caring, and we really appreciated his attention to detail. We felt very well taken care of from beginning to end. It was a memorable experience, and we would absolutely recommend Bubble to friends and other travelers!!

Country, culture, history and people shared in 8 hours
Great experience by our Yolo Tour Guide Chiao Chiao as she guided us through Taiwan’s religious, historical, memorial, cultural and industrial achievements that helped make Taiwan become an independent country. Comfortably traveled in her clean and comfortable Toyota Corolla Cross Sport and could not have experienced Taipei and the significance of the Taiwanese people in 8hrs on our own self-guided tour.

We enjoyed our city tour...
We enjoyed our city tour with Mr. Willy who is very friendly, engaging and speak English fluently as we don’t speak and understand Taiwanese. He spoke clearly, shared facts about Taiwan history, culture, personal experiences, Taiwan rules and regulations such as no guns and firearms; very law rate in crimes and talked about politics and recent current events. He accommodated my request to do some changes in our today’s schedule and still able to see other points of interest. He gave suggestions and other options that may interest us to visit and enjoy other places in Taiwan.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,040 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour?
+
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 Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour?
+
Around 364 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour 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 Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi, Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup, Small-Group: Yehliu, Jiufen & Pingxi Day Tour from Taipei. 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.
