It was great to have Mr Dai as our driver for 7 days. Although he was not a guide, he was always very eager to share with us his knowledge about Taiwan and the some of the places that we would be visiting. He was always looking for ways which he could improve his services by asking us almost everyday if there was anything that he could do better. When we casually talk about buying some taiwan local products, he actually help us keep a look out for the products along the way such that we could buy them back. He was also very thoughtful and took care of us very well. For example. he would verbally check with us to ensure that we, especially our 4 year old daughter, had put on enough clothing during our tour. When we alighted his car to visit all places of interest, he would always park his vehicle near the exit or somewhere where we could easily find him. This greatly reduced the hassle and the time spent to look for the car. As a driver, he had provided fantastic service and we were very glad that he was our driver!

We were very happy with the trip overall. Pre-trip planning with Judy was a totally pleasant experience. She was very patient, helpful and professional. Driver Mr. He was very friendly and helpful, most importantly drove safely. Jim, the tour guide, was considerate, thoughtful, and caring through out the trip. A very memorable trip overall.

Allie portrayed himself to be very passionate about introducing Taiwan to us, as he enthusiastically shared both factual information and personal stories with us regarding the places we visited. We were glad with the flexibility of having a personal driver. However, my parents felt that the charges were slightly on the pricey side, as they compared with drivers their friends have used before. For me, I have no experience with other drivers and personally do not like drivers who persuade us to take up their itinerary and accommodations instead of using my own, and so I thought RTR was excellent as I could use my own itinerary and accommodations. More importantly, as I am unable to write in Chinese, the communication in English was what I liked best. I would like to thank RTR for an enjoyable time in Taiwan!

about Miaoli - Cows and Kids

People in Taiwan consider Miaoli a county full of rich Hakka culture. It's the place where people slow down traveling. But for travelers from Southeast Asia, Miaoli means beautiful gardens, nostalgic train stations, and farms providing chances to get close to butterflies and cattle. In Chungshe Tourism Flower Market, there are seasonal flowers such as tulips and sunflowers, as well as salvias and roses that flower throughout the year. Built with red bricks and sticky rice in the days when the Japanese Colonial Era, the rail bridge has been broken now, yet the root-covered piers demonstrate the beauty of history, making it a popular background for pre-wedding photos. In the same area stands Shengxing Station. Though the station has not been in real use for some years, the rails and tunnel here still attract many parents to have fun with their kids, experiencing the fun of walking on the rails and crossing tunnel. Around the station, some restaurants allow guests to make Leicha by themselves, while others are vintage restaurants featuring Hakka cuisine. Besides, the highlight of a trip to Miaoli is the Flying Cow Ranch, where children can feed ducklings, little rabbits, goats, cattle, and so on. Visitors can also make ice cream of their favorite flavors from freshly squeezed milk.
