    Interested hotels often did not have an English speaking staff member. Tour was rushed and especially Busan for a few hours. Tour guide was excellent but we had to employ him at great expense to see Jenu Island during Buddha”s birthday with a huge escalation in coatings. DMZ and Jeju Island were definitely highlights for South Korea

    We have just returned from a 10 day 'Around Formosa' tour of Taiwan arranged through tourradar and MW tours and couldn't be more satisfied. The tour bus was comfortable, each days itinerary covered different sights and aspects of the island , all very interesting. The hotels used throughout were 5 star and good standard and breakfasts excellent. Both tour guides we had Alan for the 5 days best of Taiwan part and Tony for the day trips out of Taipei were professional , knowledgeable, organised and pleasant.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with our two guides Joanne and Alan (with one L), Joanne covering Taipei and Alan the island tour. Both guides were knowledgeable and kept us busy and entertained making any changes as our needs required, thank you both. On the whole the accommodation was entirely satisfactory and the length of the tour sufficient. We opted to stay on in Taipei for a couple of extra nights in Taipei to give us time to explore at our leisure which worked out well, in particular a visit to the National museum was had not been included on the agenda. We both found Taiwan very interesting and a bit of an eye opener. Its a lovely clean and efficient island with very polite people and I would love to make a return visit.
