My mom and I had a great...
My mom and I had a great day private tour with Eric. We were able to have a very full day in a very comfortable car with Eric and the driver. We were picked up and dropped off right in front of all the main attractions. Eric knew a lot of history too which was great since it was our first full day in Taipei. At the end of the day, we were tired and wanted to quickly go to the Raohe night market to try their famous buns. Our guide was so kind and escorted us to get the bun and a few foods before dropping us back at our hotel, instead of us trying to find a taxi or an uber. Would highly recommend this tour!

Great experience on a private tour!
Our family (myself, my spouse, 12yo and twin 9yos and my 78 yo mother booked 2 day trips with My Taiwan Tour with 2 different tour guides. Both were amazing! The drivers were also excellent. The transportation was clean and safe. I felt I could really relax and enjoy the experience rather than be stressed about how to get from point A to point B. Both your guides (Melody and Bessy) were very attentive, especially towards my mom, providing her assistance as needed. Using My Taiwan Tour was worth every penny!

Comprehensive city tour of Taiwan
Carol, our tour guide, was the reason this tour went so well. She had a driver so she could focus on talking to us about this wonderful city. Carol was friendly, very knowledgeable about Taiwan’s history, and full of energy. We learned a lot about Taiwan and it’s culture through her. We went to all the places we had in mind, in addition to the ones she suggested, which included the local market, and other places only a resident would know about. If you want a taste of the city of Taiwan in a day, this is the tour for you! We covered about 5 miles of walking in and out of museums, temples, markets, memorials. She offered to take pictures of us at each place for a keepsake. Carol was mindful that I was walking with a broke toe, so we took breaks as needed throughout the tour… and it was hot too, but that didn’t stop us. My only complaint was the transportation was not what was promised by Viator. We needed a luxury vehicle which would have given us more space in the backseat. All in all, this was an excellent tour and I highly recommend that you reserve this one with Carol as your guide if she’s available.

Wonders of Kelung with an excellent guide
Ken was a fount of information about Taiwan, and responded readily to our questions. You could see his enthusiasm for his country and the places we visited. The Geo Park was fascinating with its natural formations. Chicken was a delightful stop with scrumptious food stalls and a fun opportunity to send off a wish by lantern. Ken couldn’t have been more thoughtful and attentive to our interests and needs. He was extremely helpful to our wheelchairs family member. I highly recommend Ken for his help, knowledge, comfortable vehicle, humor, and more. Dawn, Bruce , Curtiss

A+ Customized Tour with A+ Tour Guide Phoebe
Tour Guide Phoebe was A+ Excellent. She was very knowledgeable, talkative, and passionate about Taiwan’s history and sites. I learned a lot of interesting history about Taiwan, and about Taiwan’s current political situation with China/USA. Phoebe loved to share her knowledge, and she made the day very pleasant and engaging. We had excellent lunch at Taipei 101. At the end of the day, after a lot of walking, Phoebe took me to a knife massage. The driver was reliable, on-time.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day cost?
+
Prices start at $400 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 Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day 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 Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 96 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 Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day?
+
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 Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day 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 Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day?
+
Around 34 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 Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day 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 Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi, Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup. 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.
