    Many of the participant were on the five day / 4 day tour, at of course at a lower cost. I consider our deal with 3 additional first class hotel nights in Taipei and an extremely excellent full day Taipei city tour a better and excellent deal for tourists coming in from the USA and are interested in a full appreciation of Taipei and Taiwan. The full day Taipei tour guide was better than excellent. Alan, the five day tour guide was better than excellent. Manfred

    The trip was good but I thought we visited too many touristy spots. I also would have liked some type of meet and greet or introduction meeting in the beginning to get to know everyone.

    I think the tour was good,hotels were very good and itinerary covered a lot.My only issue was it would be good if people with mobility issues had extra step on bus or feedback help from guide.My other confusion was the whole group was aware that tipping is not part of culture and everyone was given two envelopes by guide and collected on bus for it to be counted which makes me very uncomfortable and group were in general confused. There should be more transparency on this
