Traveler Reviews

I've been to jiufen before, but my tour with Yujin was nothing like what I experienced from jiufen. I turned out to be the only one that signed up, so it became a private tour. Yujin is very wellspoken and knowledgeable about all of jiufen. The museum tour and information about the history of the places we visited were especially nice.

This tour was done by Lo, Claudia and Florence. Likeit Formosa guided us through the non touristy parts of Jiufen, they guided us through some spectaculer views with some good history.

The main Street of Jiufen can be obnoxiously crowded, this tour is to see the rest of the town and hidden streets. Our guide Lo was one of my favorite guides I met in Taiwan, he was so good I took another tour with him the next day (Taipei history tour).

I had a great time in Jiufen. I learnt about the local life and history. It is a place to enjoy a day

I had so much fun on the Jiufen walking tour with Anita, who was a wonderful guide. I ended up being the only guest, and received a private tour as a result. Anita was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and enjoyable to talk to. She had the answers to all my questions about Jiufen, and brought me to many places in the city I never would have seen on my own. The vast majority of visitors to Jiufen seem to stay in the main tourist area in the town center, but there's so much more to see and this walking tour is a great way to attack your Jiufen trip. Highly recommend!
