    There wasn’t much to see or do in the eleven days. For what there is to do, the itinerary should be shortened to seven days maximum. The typhoon prediction caused cancellations that weren’t necessary because we hardly got any rain. All in all I wouldn’t recommend this tour.

    I always recommend Intrepid I love what they do. Small groups, local guides, bringing us to the actual people, often solo travelers, always some exercise, some adventure. I have visited Taipei a few times and this time wanted to explore further. Taiwan is not on everyones radar and I love the mixture of Chinese and Japanese influences, besides it a stunning island. Taipei is a sophisticated, first class city.

    Price / Availability
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      After reviewing the terms and conditions for your Bell promo code it looks like it is not combinable with your current cyber sale promotion. If you are wanting to book onto our Explore Taiwan adventure it would be one or the other.

    • V

      Victoria

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      Understood. I wasn't expecting to use both. Will go ahead and book. Please apply the Dell code I provided since it's a higher discount than the cyber sale.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      We'll add the Bell promo code to this booking. We are pleased to offer a complimentary hold on the trip for 48 hours, after which a deposit of 400 is required to confirm your space.

      I'd like a sample list of the hotels Intrepid is using for Explore Taiwan. I was told by Tour Radar it didn't matter with whom I booked; it was the same. But it isn't because I have to go through you for any questions or information that I need.

      If you login to your already booked trips on Tour Radar you can ask us any questions through the chat function regarding your trips and we will get back to you within 24 hours. We do have a specific team from Intrepid that will respond to you as they solely work on Tour Radar bookings because they have the access.
