    Excellent tour with great food at Shilin night market!

    Charlotte was a wonderful guide, she took us around the Shilin night market and we had all the food we’d been interested in trying (even stinky tofu which was way better than expected!). We also talked a lot about life in Taiwan and she shared her own favorites and perspectives which was great. She also gave us lots of options to customize, so really anyone would be able to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great time exploring Shilin Night Market with Charlotte. It’s wonderful that you got to try the foods you were most excited about—even the stinky tofu!—and that you enjoyed the conversations and personal insights she shared about life in Taiwan.

    Unforgettable Evening of Tasty Food and Fun!

    We had an unforgettable evening with Alice as our tour guide for the Raohe Night Market / street food tour. Alice was very personable and accommodating to our requests during the tour. It was a great way to learn about the food and culture of Taipei. The night market was lively with a variety of food options; we had scallion pancakes, pineapple cake, sweet potato balls, and other local delicacies. We look forward to returning to the city. Ask for Alice and you will have an awesome guide.

    Response from the operator: We’re thrilled to hear that Alice made your Raohe Night Market experience memorable and that you enjoyed exploring Taipei’s food and culture. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the city for more amazing experiences!

    Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom cost?

    +

    Prices start at $184 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 Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 37 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 Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom?

    +

    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 Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom?

    +

    Around 13 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Taipei Street Food & Night Market Tour with a Local: Private & Custom 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.
