Very friendly, also acted as a guide by filling in history and stories before reaching a certain destination. Always there before time, friendly and professional.
We’d like to thank you and Round Taiwan Round for the wonderful services and hospitality during our trip in Taiwan. The schedule and timing was just about right, not too tight nor too tiring. The driver, Wade, is an exceptionally friendly guy who also did the job of a tour guide by filling us in on the stories and history of each places, and always answering our questions along the way, also making recommendations/suggestions. Wade was always there before time and extremely reliable. He would even speak slower to make it easier for us to understand as we are foreigners which was very thoughtful of him. We had pleasant conversations during the trip, it was nice how we were able to relate to him with his two years stay in Thailand before. It was also very nice to have drinking water provided in the bus, which was definitely very thoughtful.

As I had a private tour for 2 days with Richard, it would have been helpful if I could have gotten in touch with him earlier so that he could suggest me more convenient accomodation. It was hard to plan alone from a foreign country and a local guide's advice would have been very useful and time-saving.

I am glad that you had assigned Judy as my designated driver. She's friendly and knows how to make passengers feel comfortable. I would recommend my non-Mandarin speaking friends to book with your company as they aren't many English based platforms/channels available for booking drivers in taiwan

She was very accommodating, polite and prompt. She was also quite helpful, and brought us to a supermarket after we discussed getting some tapioca pearls so we could make milk tea back home in Singapore. Very nice lady.

We both think that Judy was very friendly and punctual. It was a very pleasant and easy experience. It was great also that she could also speak some English as well! In addition, although she was not a guide she provided some guidance in terms of the tourists attractions. The only suggestion that we have is that we could have been allowed to stay in any hotel along the route from Alishan to Chiayi. This is because Judy had to travel back to Chiayi anyways. As you already know the hotel selection in Alishan is very limited and over priced.

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.
