Great day tour
Great day out. Good communication pre tour. Enjoyed sites with tour leader Tommy. The bus was comfortable and safe. Tour leader was approachable and ensured we had the information we needed for the sites we visited. Good value for money.

Emma’s the best tour guide
So glad to have booked with this company. Our guide was Emma and she was the best!! She’s very caring and was informative about the entire trip and making sure we get the most and best for each visit. When I thought about staying longer at Juifen Old Street, she made recommendations and advice on how to get back to Taipei using the local bus. I really appreciated her. I ended up getting back with the group after realizing I’ve had enough steps for the day. 100/10 recommend this tour and I hope you get Emma.

1 Day Trip
Definitely recommend this affordable and comprehensive tour! The transportation was prompt and we travelled to multiple main attractions from the Yehliu Geopark with the iconic rock formations, the Shifen Waterfall and Shifen and Jioufen Old Street which was my favourite as I loved the vibes! This is the best experience out there and thanks to our lovely tour guide Emma who made the day more memorable and pleasant! Choose this one!

Great time! From a dry...
Great time! From a dry warm place, definitely not acclimated to the humidty (it wasnt even particularly hot today!) But that goes for all of Taiwan, not just the places we have visited. Had a great time on this tour and saw some beautiful sites and our tour guide Emma was fantastic! I would definitely recommend this experience if youre looking to see what is outside the city for the day!

Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending) cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending) take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 228 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending)?
+
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 Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending)?
+
Around 80 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yehliu & Jiufen & Shifen Day Tour (Departure from Ximending) 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 Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi. 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.
