Good day trip. Not too rushed but was hoping for more time at some places. Overall, good but would have loved for the places to be opened though. Some were closed because of natural events. Nevertheless, still highly recommended.
Time was a little short on each stop of the bus, but besides that a very well planned and fun trip. Service was great too, as I was picked up at my own hotel even if it was not mentioned on the list of hotels to choose from. :)
Taroko Gorge is a sight not to be missed, and this tour is definitely a great way to experience it.
We covered alot of ground but things never felt rushed. Tour guide Josephine always allowed us sufficient time to enjoy each station and was very flexible— not only that, she was extremely entertaining and an absolute ball of energy!
The one little thing I'd wish was for us to have spent less time at the marble factory / jade warehouse, thus allowing even more time to spend at the gorge itself. Otherwise, finishing up at Chishing Beach was the perfect way to the trip.
Recommended for sure!
Taroko was beautiful, the staff were organised and the tour guide (Josephine) was very entertaining.
Well worth the money.
Great trip! Josephine was a great guide!
Spectacular scenery, very knowledgeable guide (if a bit too chatty). Not just sitting on the bus but had several opportunities to get out and walk a bit. Lunch at Silks Place Taroko was very good. Tour was excellent until return to Hualien after lunch. $200 for aboriginal dance, followed by trip to Marble factory (actually a big salesroom) was a waste of time (although my wife liked it). My recommendation - after returning to Hualien either go to the beach for the afternoon if it's a nice day, or get on an earlier train back to Taipei. Still, don't miss seeing the gorge!
The Gorge is well worth the trip though areas are off limits due to safety. Our guide was friendly and the lunch fabulous - though a word of caution - beware of the marble tour ... you do not learn a lot about marble but a whole lot of selling of jade , star sapphires and other stones not mentioned in the brochure :( boo hoo
Hualien is an amazing city, which you will see lots of beautiful natrual scence. Our tour guide was very helpful and friendly. She gave us heaps of information on each place. This tour makes my business trip to TW much more enjoyable than before.
very good. expensive, but value for money. Good meal too!
Excellent trip although a very long day - could cut out the cake shop and the "beach" as this does not really align with the "Gorge" theme. We could have caught the train at the Taroko station, rather than having to travel back to Hualien. Otherwise very well organised and well worth the trip (including the lunch!!!)
The half hour stop at the recreational area before lunch was really not necessary and instead I would have appreciated more time to explore the places we visited - we had to rush there and back most of the time.
great tour, thanks!
A wholesome and comprehensive tour. Even though it rained it didn't dampen our mood in the least. The guide was good n informative. One suggestion would be to make the lunch more personal and increase the quantity. When one goes on a 5 star tour one expects 5 star treatment. We were 11 people of different cultures n sensibilities seated together on one table n the food bundled on the table without any repeats. Some people were frozen enough not to be able to grab the food. That's not expected, n our guide at this point wasn't there to supervise the hotel whose staff conveniently doesn't understand even sign language when it suits them. Even in the morning we were picked up at 6 a, rush to the airport where there was no food stall, flight n then the tour. We requested the guide to stop for breakfast but she ignored us. So the food or rather the lack of it was the only drawback to an otherwise memorable n awesome day.
This is very recommended full day tour. In one fine day we can visit many beautiful spots in Taroko National Park. The tour guide (a lady) is also very professional and she knows how to run the tour efficiently and we can visit all the good spots on the way on schedule. We also enjoyed the delicous Chinese lunch in 5star hotel (Silks Place Hotel) during the tour which is included. However, the visit to marble factory was quite waisting our time since they aim the tour participants to buy the marble gift in their store instead of explaining and showing us the process to produce the marble. It is one hour which is a quite useless for us which can be optimize to enjoy Taroko National Park a little bit longer. The way back to Taipei by train also took 3 hours which is quite long time since we could not see anything from the train window after sunset around 5 p.m. in winter time.
Taroko Gorge was lovely and the guide was fabulous. This was definitely worth a visit. The hotel pickup was at the crack of dawn - 6am and we got to the airport in time for a short flight to Hualien. The walk and tour around Taroko Gorge was much improved by the great commentary by our guide and she took us around to some less populated areas. She is also flexible and adjusted the tour well around what the three of us wanted or needed. Highly recommended!
