Pauline is extremely...
Pauline is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. We learned a lot about the local history and culture. What we learned carried a long way in our following days in Taipei. We asked about culture, local activities and Pauline answered in great details with passion. Food Tastings were absolutely amazing and delicious. Prepare to be full!

A wonderful culinary experience !
Garen is truly amazing, passionate about her country, and she explains how the Taiwanese people evolved their food, influenced by its rich history. Not only will you taste excellent food, but you will learn about the food history, and the very rich history of Taiwan! I highly recommend booking this food tour with Garen.

Food Tour with Garen was High Point of Taipei Trip
My husband and I booked the “Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings” with Garen in April. We have taken many private tours around the globe and Garen ranks with the best. In short, she was the high point of our trip. Not only did we get a taste of great local Taiwanese food, but along the way Garen shared her insights into Taiwanese culture. We felt like we were experiencing Taiwan with a generous, well-informed friend. You really couldn’t ask for more in a guide. Thank you, Garen!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $132 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 The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings 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 The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 756 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 The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings?
+
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 The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings 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 The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings?
+
Around 265 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 The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings 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.
