- Dr.· April 13th, 2024excellent, highly recommendable, versatile, not the general kind of tourism one receives mostly everywhere with large groups of boring people. This was not everything spoon fed but for the person who has an interest in a country and doesn't mind the unusual, the different, the out -of-the way experience. We would like to see more but due to the Earth quake we were unable to travel the East Coast of Taiwan but will keep it in mind. Good food, inexpensive, great markets (not just night markets but the artistic markets), good hotels, good driver and tour guide, in short summary, highly recommendable for the person who wants to have an experience outside the famous box. There are plenty of those tours for the boxed-in travelers elsewhere.Show more

Asked on July 14th, 2023We are both vegetarian (no sea food). Will there be suitable balanced meals provided? Can you give us sample menus?
Crooked CompassOperator•Written July 2023The Central Asian region offers some great vegetarian food options so yes you will be catered to during the tour. Some examples of vegetarian dishes are: grilled vegetables, samsas, lavash, and veggie dumplings. Salad is often served as a side dish. Vegetable options will include eggplant, bell peppers, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, onion, cabbage, and pumpkin/squash. Tomato, dill, bread, egg noodle, egg, and cheese, are also quite common. In the smaller towns, vegetarians are still a bit uncommon to the townspeople, but your guide is with you to ensure that your dietary requirements are catered for appropriately.
