    We recently completed the Taiwan Express tour and we were thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The tour was very well organized, with scenic destinations and interesting activities. The accommodations were excellent. Each hotel we stayed at was comfortable, with clean, modern facilities and excellent service. Two of the hotels had hot springs that we enjoyed a lot. Every day of the tour was interesting. Taiwan offers such a rich blend of culture, stunning natural landscapes, and vibrant cities that there was never a dull moment. Danny, our tour guide deserves special recognition for bringing Taiwan's history and culture to life. His knowledge was impressive, and he had a gift for sharing fascinating details and stories that gave us real insight into Taiwanese life, both past and present. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring Taiwan.

    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

    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

    Erica

    Asked on July 26th, 2025

    I am planning to take a tour of Taiwan in March 26 with my mum. At the end of the tour we plan to visit a friend in Hualien. Having looked at your tour it would seem sensible to go back to Hualien by train instead of returning to Taipei after Yilan. Is this something we could do? If so, would we be able to get a reduction in price as we wouldn't need the Taipei hotel for the last night.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • MW ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      As it is group tour, we cannot change our itinerary. If you would like to visit your friends in Hualien, you can have your own arrangement after overnight in Yilan. However we cannot deduct any tour fees.

    Sean

    Asked on July 10th, 2025

    Is there always a single supplement? It seems unfair.

    Single supplement
    • MW ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      Unfortunately we do not provide sharing option for our package. A single supplement will be required if you will be traveling by yourself, please let me know if you would like to book Taiwan Express. We guarantee depart for one passenger for this tour.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      This is a real shame. It seems like discrimination and puts the company in a bad light. Other travel companies can manage it very successfully and so you could with more effort. My friends who have used you have told me they had good experiences with you so this policy is a really negative point. Please can you urgently review this awful policy?

    Diane

    Asked on June 22nd, 2025

    I like the Taiwan Express but without the 3 days in Taipei - that means that I only stay with the tour for 5 days starting from Day 4. Is that possible and I prefer to be only the 3 of us or in a small group of 6-8.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • MW ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      This is our regular 8-day tour itinerary, and unfortunately, we are unable to remove the Taipei 3 days. Additionally, this is a medium group tour, so we cannot guarantee a group size of only 6 to 8 people.
