Alex, our guide, was outstanding. His explanation of the food and culture was terrific. We only wish we had this tour the very first night we arrived

Vicki is a fantastic...
Vicki is a fantastic guide as she led us through the Shilin night market! We had a great time talking with her and learning about the local culture, food, and things to do. She helped us find the best stalls for all the food that we had left to try during our time in Taipei.

We thoroughly recommend booking with Vicky, for a truly unforgettable 2hr experience - you’ll have a fun and interesting evening, leaving with lots of knowledge and a happy belly!! Thank you Vicky

Thank you Vicki!
Vicki was wonderful and spoke excellent English! She took us to some amazing food spots that we would not have found on our own. Shilin night market is overwhelming! She was very accommodating and allowed us to be adventurous as we wanted to be. The market is quite confusing so having a personal guide is brilliant.
via Viator
Must try tour
This was such a fun tour! Vicky was fantastic and took us to the best spots. I have a serious food allergy and she was careful to help me pick food items that were safe for me to try. The food was delicious and it was a great evening!

[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 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 137 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 48 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 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.
