    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.

    Tour Details
    • MW ToursOperatorWritten September 2023

      The tour is guaranteed departure. The Japan section is the moudular tour which means your client will be travelling on their own on the bullet train and walk to their hotel next to the station on arrival. It is NOT fully guided tour. In Taiwan there will be group tour for 5 days and the rest of the day tours in Taipei will be on Seat in coach basis. Single supplement is required as we do not have shared options.

    • I

      Irene

      TravelerWritten September 2023

      Can you tell me how many people are already booked on the tour from Nov. 5th - 19th? And can you tell me the names of the hotels where the guests will be staying? Also do you book add-on tours, like city tours, possibly a day train tour to Hiroshima from Kyoto?

    • MW ToursOperatorWritten September 2023

      In Taiwan we already have 20pax booked on the around island tour starting from Taipei and back to Taipei. We can add on extra day tours once the main tour is booked as per your request!

      Irene

      TravelerWritten September 2023

      Is there availability for this tour for a single passenger on other dates? Nov. 5th was denied because he is travelling alone. Are there other dates he can book?

    • MW ToursOperatorWritten September 2023

      For the Taiwan Section is fine, however for the Japan one we require a minimum of two people to guarantee departure. Please provide your travel dates, we need to check the availability of hotel and day tours.
