Taking Your MyTaiwanTour
Taiwan law takes the profession of tour guide very seriously. Prospective guides in Taiwan spend several months in training before taking a government test that’s administered only once a year. MyTaiwanTour guides are next level awesome, not merely professionally accredited, but passionate...about their jobs, about Taiwan, and about their own broad areas of interest and expertise. As far as language proficiency goes, all MyTaiwanTour guides are fluent in English and Mandarin, and most have an additional language such as Japanese, French, German or Korean under their belts.

MyTaiwanTour guides know Taiwan, love Taiwan, and love sharing their knowledge, passion and expertise with visitors.
Packages differ from tour to tour, but all multi-day tours include hotel accommodations, daily breakfast (usually a buffet), as well as activities and admission fees to all places mentioned in the itinerary. Some also include other meals as well. Single-day tours include all activities mentioned in itinerary. All tours include full transportation costs and the services of an enthusiastic English-speaking guide.

Some of our tours include trips to places like night markets, where (with the exception of all-inclusive food tours) guests are expected to pay for their own food. Night market food tends to be pretty inexpensive, and NT$500 (US$15) is generally more than you’ll need. Certain tours have other optional activities. As a rule of thumb, if it’s on the itinerary, it’s included in the price.
Our Cancellation policy
Since our tour groups are kept pretty small (2-12 guests) this rarely happens, but if it does we’ll contact you between 48-24 hours prior to the tour’s start time and offer to put you on an alternative tour of similar duration, itinerary and price. If you chose not to take it, you’ll be given a full refund.
Cancellation policy differs from tour to tour, and some penalties may apply. In general, the closer you get to the tour date before cancelling, the higher the penalty. Please check the cancellation policy of each tour for specific details.
Depending on the nature of the weather and the tour itself, the tour will either be rerouted, rescheduled or cancelled. In the event of cancellation due to force majeure (typhoon, for example), guests will be refunded the tour price. In certain cases handling fees (never more than 5%) may still be incurred due to hotel booking and transportation costs.

Pretty much anyplace in Taipei City, and anyplace around Taipei city (think Wulai to Yamingshan to Keelung and everywhere in between). If you’ve got specific places in mind, let your guide know. If you have general ideas (like “Today I’d like to soak in a traditional Japanese hot spring, get a massage, visit a Buddhist temple that tourists don’t know about, buy a new laptop, go birdwatching and eat a meal incorporating both traditional Chinese and Tribal elements”) let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to make it happen.
