    Everything was great, and Ivy was very accommodating. Her English was perfect!! We got to see the entire Night Market and had fun! Only issue, and I'm sure it's corrected now... The address we were meeting at for the tour. was incorrect on the Viator information-- I'm sure it's been fixed now.

    Great tour. Had a lot of fun with Penny. She did an excellent job catering our visit towards our interests and made great suggestions about foods we didn’t know we would enjoy so much. Everything she suggested was good, if not great

    Shilin Market Food tour

    I spent a very nice tour with Ms Penny Su, who is an excellent guide: she told me a lot of interesting things about the market and the food, and we tried a lot of Chinese dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

    Best way to try great, great Taipei night market foods!

    Make sure you are hungry when you start this trip. The food tips are fantastic and the tastings were delicious and very inexpensive. York, our guide, was amazing, knowledgeable and fun. We laughed during the whole walk. Note: some of the best foods were at the end so don’t eat just anything. Be choosy and share items.

    Night Market Tour

    My guide, Ivy was so much fun. She met me at our meeting spot right on time and we hit it off right away. Ivy showed me so many great food and drink options in the Night Market. We also tried out the games, bought lotto tickets and used the claw machines for prizes. I had so much fun! I traveled solo and the tour was just the two of us. Her English was fantastic and I learned a few phrases in Mandarin. I would definitely recommend this tour with Ivy.

    [Private Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.

    How much does [Private Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 133 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 Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr)?

    +

    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 Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book [Private Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr)?

    +

    Around 47 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does [Private Tour] Shilin Night Market Walking Tour With a Private Tour Guide (2-hr) 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.
