Description

Enjoy pickup from your preferred meeting point in Taipei and explore the city in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. This flexible tour suits layover travelers with limited time and can include drop-off at Taipei Taoyuan Airport or pick-up/drop-off at the Keelung Cruise Terminal.

Visit landmarks such as Longshan Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Dihua Street, Martyrs’ Shrine, the National Palace Museum, and Taipei 101. You may also choose to go up to the Taipei 101 Observatory on the 89th floor (admission ticket not included).

The sample itinerary is customizable within the 8-hour limit. You can sample street food, dine at local restaurants, explore creative neighborhoods and cafés, or combine city sightseeing with nearby destinations like Jiufen or Pingxi. Travel time to out-of-town stops is included, which may reduce the number of city visits.

If you want a mix of urban and countryside experiences, add Jiufen’s hillside alleys or a Pingxi sky-lantern release. The tour can accommodate families, photography stops, or focus areas such as food or culture. Your driver-guide will tailor the pace to your preferences.

At the end of the tour, choose to return to Taipei City, continue to TPE Airport, or finish at the Keelung Cruise Terminal. Share your priorities and timing so the driver can craft the ideal route for you.
