We enjoyed all the tours, and appreciate especially how the guides made sure we got to our destinations. Special thanks to John for going out of his way and being spot on with recommendations for food and activities. Our family enjoyed touring with you all. Will recommend to friends and family, and perhaps take another trip in the future with you again! Thank you everyone!

Allie is a knowledgeable, careful, responsible and fun guide. He also provided us with good suggestions on places to go (other than the initial planned places) and recommended great local food and specialties. He is definitely a guide whom we will like to have again when we next visit Taiwan. Very prompt and good service.

We had a fantastic time with all the drivers that Round Taiwan Round provided us with. They all had their own ways of providing the tour which was great too: Judy was fantastic. We gladly welcomed the fact she could speak perfect English even though we never asked for it. We ended up having great conversations. She even brought us to a place to have some tea.

about Alishan - Giant Forest

Perhaps you have heard of the famous Alishan and its high-mountain teas, but now you want to know what makes this place so popular. A trip to Alishan is all about the beauty of nature and the plentiful gifts it bestows. After a winding trip up through the lush mountainside, you will reach Fenqihu, a quaint village stop on the Alishan Forest Railway that was once an important transit point for the logging industry. A traditional railway bento box for lunch, crisp mist hugging the trees, and the sound of the mountain silence. This is Alishan.Wonder in amazement at the astonishingly tall thousand year old trees of Alishan National Scenic Area and then witness the serenity of the open skies as you stand above a sea of clouds on the mountain summit. And as the day comes to a close, a trip to the tea plantations for a taste of exquisite oolong and green teas will be the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful sunset.
