Took this tour on a warm Christmas morning without knowing what to expect. i was excited for the opportunity to try some local food especially in the morning & for lunch as mostly i found that the food in taipei revolves around the night food markets but this tour gave me an eye opening experience into the world of breakfast & lunch in the city that seems to never sleep. our tour guides where super friendly & very knowledgable of the history, culture & of course the food. It was a small group & i believe that they only take a maximum of eight people on any trip this makes it a more intimate experience & much easier to sit in the busy restaurants. So what about the food? its a food tour right?… Well i can say that i was some of the best food that i tried in Taiwan. From street snacks to fish balls soup we visited so many places that it was difficult to keep count but i can say that we had some foods that you will be familiar with like steamed buns but other local dishes like taiwanese congee that is very different from the chinese version. fish, meat, vegetables & dessert we seemed to have covered all the major food types including medicine as we had a beautifully delicate herbal drink that was well needed to cut through the rich food, its also good for you so thats a bonus. This was a perfect tour of a super interesting historical area in this relatively new city. Doing it on Christmas day was an interesting experience for me & i can honestly say that i did not miss the traditional Christmas dinner as the food was so good. Its a must do experience in Taipei.

An excellent morning tour of the traditional food and sights on offer in Dadaocheng / Dihua Street area with Jean and the 6 people on the tour with me (2 couples, 2 other solo travelers). In fact we had such a lovely morning as a group that Jean kept going an extra hour! I ate at places and dishes that I would never have ventured into walking around alone, so highly recommend this tour for showing me the delicious tastes and experiences out there as an intrepid and non-chinese speaking westerner. While I didn't love every dish, the majority blew me away and it was an overall encompassing taste of Taipei, as well as temples and history thrown in. We ended up eating 10 - 12 dishes, by the end we were sharing a couple plates as everyone was so full. My only criticism is that we did waste a bit of food, and perhaps knowing that it is a whole morning food tour with plenty of dishes, they ask some of the vendors to provide smaller portions instead of saying don't feel bad if you don't finish it. One point I was impressed at is how little cutlery/packaging waste we generated - most of the places we sat and were served with crockery and silver cutlery. It was also nice to have those little seating breaks on a walking tour. On that note, it was a bit of a drizzly morning, but that didn't impact us at all - so don't be put off by any inclement weather. Thank you for a wonderful, educational, tasty and fun morning Jean, and my fellow food tour buddies. Highly recommend this tour and would love to try one of their other offerings when next in Taipei!

I signed-up for the Xinyi backstreets tour, and boy am I glad I did. I was travelling by myself, and wanted to learn more about the food culture in Taipei and Taiwan. Just before starting the tour I received an email that the other tour members had cancelled, and the guide, Mike, wondered if I would still like to move forward. Since it was the only day I could make the tour, I asked if it would be OK to move ahead. They had no problem doing so, and as a result, I essentially had a private tour! Mike was incredible. His knowledge of food and culture/history generally, were very broad. His touring style - walking a little, eating, discussing the food, introducing the shop owner and their history, walking some more - was fantastic. It seemed we didn't go more than a few hundred yards and BAM! food! The food we enjoyed ranged from exotic to expected (soup dumplings anyone?!) and everything was fantastic. The portions were extremely generous - I was definitely full about 2/3 of the way through, so don't feel as if you have to eat everything. Truly spectacular afternoon with Mike exploring the food, history, and culture of Taipei! He even suggested a number of other places to try, including an incredible tea shop in Dihua Street. Overall, this was one of the best food tours I have experienced and it is definitely worth the price. I highly recommend Taipei Eats. As a side-note, I would suggest taking the tour early on in your visit to Taipei so that you can enjoy the rich and wonderful food culture throughout your visit.

We had Mike as our guide to the Yansan night market yesterday. The tour was awesome and so was Mike! He was also chill and patient with me since I was a few minutes late because I missed the metro connection station and had to backtrack. I love tours that don't make you feel like you are on some tacky itinerary and this one was definitely NOT one of those lame ones. Great vibes! He made it feel like we were guests staying at his home and he was taking us out to dinner.... well done Mike!! He even bought us a beer to enjoy with our eats. The Yansan market was pretty cool....unlike the others that are packed with stalls. This one had an active street going through with vendors on the sides which I actually prefer...makes it feel less congested than some of the other markets. Food was epic, even had a few spots that had indoor seating with AC since it rained pretty hard at the start. Cheers and see you next time for sure!

I have lived in Taipei for years, but I have never went on a local tour. When my friends from abroad came into town, I thought I would give it a try with them because I heard many things and the reviews are so good. It was a slightly rainy day but the experience was still incredible. The tour guide, Quincy, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed many foods that Taiwan is known for and are only available in Taiwan. The other members of the tour were friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The time of the tour, 3.5 hours, made it good value and a complete "event" to put into our schedule. We had many "hidden" spots that I have never heard of or been to. A nice bonus was that we were emailed additional suggestions on places to eat during their stay in Taipei. Many of them are also on my list, so I know the rest were good. I highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting to Taipei!

  • danielle j

would highly recommend ! we did the iconic tour with tina and she was very friendly and welcoming. didnt get to take photos of the food as the tour was very immersive and you spent the time getting to know your tour guide and the people you’re with. a good idea is to not eat breakfast before the tour, as there are a lot of tasting dishes, some even considered a full meal, and you’ll be very full by the end. also wear very comfortable shoes because it consists of a lot of walking which helps you be more hungry for the next dish. overall a very fun and eye opening experience. it definitely made a good impression on what a food tour should be and was 100% worth it ☆♪

  • James Oleinik

I did the classic tour in October 2023. I wanted to try foods unique to Tapei and learn about them as well. This tour provided everything I wanted, as well as being fun and informative. Our guide Tina was not only enthusiastic about Tapei’s food but very informative and helpful, even providing me some good travel tips for what to see and do around Tapei. The food stops themselves all provided great local food in spots I never would have found otherwise. Loved all the food except the stinky tofu, which just isn’t my cup of tea but I enjoyed trying it with everyone else on the tour. Definitely recommended for a fun and tasty afternoon.

  • Serenity B.

This is a MUST DO when visiting Taipei! You get to experience different types of neighborhoods, from a wide variety of places ( wet markets, street vendors, little stores, a nice restaurant in a mall, a trendy bakery, etc.)! The tour guides are very informative and you can get good suggestions from the other people in the group as well! The tours are very well organized. I also greatly appreciated the confirmation email with a long list of additional places and foods to try out! Believe all the rave reviews you read! These tours are well worth the cost!

  • Natasha Geen

Thank you Tina for such a wonderful experience. The kids and I really enjoyed your tour. You are very warm and friendly and took the time to get to know everyone in the group. Your recommendations for restaurants have been very helpful. We’ve tried a few and have walked away very happy.

  • Courtney Henderson

We did the old school tour and it was fantastic, loved every tasting even the ones I didn't think I would like. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to share recommendations above and beyond what was offered on the tour. Would highly recommend any of their tours.

  • Matt J

Excellent walking food tour. Don't eat before as you'll have plenty on your plate as you walk around and learn about the food and its place in the culture in Taiwan. Highly recommend for the quality of food and the hospitality of the guide whom is the owner.

  • Paolo Pompilio

The food tour of Taipei with Tina was fantastic. It was by far, one of the most pleasant tours of a city we have experienced. I would definitely recommend doing this tour if you are interested in local cuisine. Tina was pleasant, insightful and charming.

这真是一次多么出色的烹饪体验啊!从我给蒂娜的第一封电子邮件,到我们旅行的最后一站,一切都很顺利!我们的导游迈克绝对是一位传奇人物,因为他非常专业,对每道菜都有很好的投入,而且非常风度翩翩且非常友好。 我们最终进行了标志性之旅,其中包括大约 10-12 道菜。我们真的很喜欢迈克的节奏,他清楚地解释了我们在吃什么。我们吃的食物种类繁多,从汤包到臭豆腐,再到波巴茶。我对蒂娜和迈克如此出色的巡演感激不尽,你们太棒了!

Very informative and enjoyable tour. Learned things about local food that I wouldn’t have otherwise known. Lengthy list of recommended venues appreciated.

  • Jacque Yang

美味又正宗!谢谢Amber和Taipeieats。在收到朋友的好评后,我报名参加了燕山之旅,它并没有让我失望。当我向礼宾部寻求如何到达出发点的帮助时,她很惊讶这次旅行会去这个夜市,当我到达时,我明白了为什么。这个夜市的游客为零,但数百名当地人下班后为家人买食物。一个真正隐藏的宝石,有一些很棒的食物。

  • Kellie Brown

与迈克一起散步、探索市场、小吃摊和餐馆,体验台北的全部风味,这是美好的一天。已经记不清我们吃的是什么了,包括菱角、千层葱油饼、花生粉红烧肉、香菜榨菜、槟榔、臭豆腐、冬瓜茶、鱼汤大肠粉丝面,日本山药咸蛋和Monster Ice刨冰。友善且知识渊博,这是我作为环球旅行者最美好的日子之一!

  • Samantha Evans

首先,我迷恋上了导游蒂娜。她非常酷而且友善地接纳我作为素食主义者。其次,食物太棒了!口味有很多种,从咸的到甜的,甚至还有臭的。最后,旅行结束后通过电子邮件提供的额外信息和推荐简直是超乎想象!我又去了至少 3 家餐馆,否则我是找不到的。…... 详情

  • Heidi Kenyon

我们在最后一刻决定通过这个组织进行夜市之旅,并觉得我们不能更好地利用我们的时间。我们的导游安妮和迈克知识渊博、友善,英语说得很好。我们品尝了很多美味的食物,从一个摊位快速移动到另一个摊位很有趣,不用担心钱,但总是知道我们正在品尝最好的食物。强烈推荐!

  • Ehow Chen

Professional and personal, the Dadaocheng food tour was a fantastic way to explore less treaded parts of modern Taipei.

  • Anita Lipson

Fantastic tour! Tina was very, very good. Nice mix of foods. The guabao was my favorite. Just book it!

  • Paul Ramirez

这是我第二次去台北吃美食。这次我参加了老派美食之旅。如果您喜欢尝试新食物和发现新地方,那么这次旅行适合您。当天的导游对我们参观的每个地点都非常了解。如果您即将访问台北,请预订台北美食之旅,您不会失望的。

  • Bernadette Ratcliffe

迭戈是有史以来最好的导游!他让我和我的家人的经历变得如此有趣和难忘!他对食物的热情以及他如何解释每道菜的成分使每一口食物都变得奢华。当您计划台北美食之旅时,请询问迭戈。 :-)

  • James Edmonds

哇,和蒂娜在一起的经历真是太棒了。我永远不会在旅行中找到如此多样化的食物。很高兴还能了解台湾的文化、宗教和现状。每一分钱都值得。我只是希望我有更多的猪肉包子。最后你会吃饱的。

  • Deborah Saepharn

Tina was a great tour guide. We ate sooo much food, we’re happily stuffed!

  • Eliran Levy

我有有史以来最可爱的导游/知识渊博且友善,并且了解了很多关于台湾文化和台北的历史。食物很好吃!!强烈推荐,因为这次旅行包括我自己永远不会发现的地方。

  • Mãe, tô com fome!

很棒的旅游不仅展示了食物,还展示了大稻埕地区的历史和好奇的事实。有一点是真的:您不会饿着肚子离开这次旅行!

  • David Marcus

与我们的导游简一起进行了完美的周到且信息丰富的旅行,有很多食物!如果我们回到台湾,肯定会参加另一次旅行。
