Taipei
Upon arrival, your driver and guide will meet you at the airport.Lonely Planet ranked Taipei as the world’s second-best travel city in 2022.
Begin at the Palace Museum (故宫博物院), a world-class institution housing nearly 700,000 artifacts spanning 8,000 years of Chinese art. Housed in a traditional palace-style building, the main galleries feature three legendary treasures: the realistic Meat-Shaped Stone, the intricate Jadeite Cabbage, and the ancient Mao Gong Ding bronze vessel.
Then, visit the iconic Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (中正纪念堂), a landmark dedicated to the ROC’s first president. The first floor exhibits historic artifacts, including Japan’s WWII surrender document. Afterward, head to the outer plaza to photograph the impressive Changing of the Guard ceremony, which occurs every hour on the hour.
Later, visit the foot of Taipei 101, the city’s most famous tower. At 508 meters, it was once the tallest building on Earth. Take a moment to look up at its "bamboo" shape—a design chosen to bring good luck and represent the idea of always growing taller and stronger.
After that, we will escort you back to airport. It is time to end your Taipei Layover Tour. Thank you for choosing Asia Odyssey Travel!

Every time I travel with my family, I can't help but be the most stressful one, always taking care of my parents and children. But Asia Odyssey Travel's Taiwan tour was completely stress-free. I'm so thankful! Their local team is excellent. We never had to worry about a thing, allowing us to fully enjoy Taiwan's beauty and culture. For our next family tour, Asia Odyssey Travel will definitely be my first choice.
I had never tried oyster omelets or stinky tofu anywhere before. This trip was a total food adventure! Fortunately, they tasted good. Thanks to my consultant and guide's local hacks, my family enjoyed a good appetite at night markets in Kaohsiung and Tainan. Every local staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely eager to make our trip special. It's the personal touch that really stands out.
I was genuinely impressed by the warm welcome offered by Asia Odyssey Travel's Taiwan tours, and it's all thanks to their fantastic local service. Their local connections meant I got great tasting experience on streed food and authentic dishes, making the Taipei trip surprisingly affordable without compromising on quality. It's clear their team on the ground works hard to ensure you get the most out of your budget. 대단히 감사합니다!!
We love their local service in Taiwan. During our trip, our local guide went above and beyond, helping us navigate the night markets like pros and even recommending a less crowded noodle shop that served the best beef noodles I've ever tasted! Their deep understanding of the culture was nice. During Sun Moon Lake cruise, they actively shared some legends about minority ethnic groups. I could say it's impressive. When we talked about traveling to other countries, our consultant could echo us with with so much enthusiasm. I wish next time, my girlfriend, our two children, and I could travel with this agency. Maybe somewhere not too far.
Just returned from 10 days Taiwan tour with Asia Odyssey Travel, and I can't praise their local service enough! From the moment we landed, their local team made everything comfortable. Our guide, a true Taipei native, shared so many insights and took us to spots we never would have found on our own. She always text my question question quickly, even the question I don't ask. Sweet and professional. I freely tried various food at the night market she recommended. That was worthwhile! My parents and I would like to choose you guys for another tour again!
Our experience in Taiwan with Asia Odyssey Travel was amazing! We spent 11 days with great accommodations including the hotel and route; however, it was our friendly/enthusiastic driver that truly made this experience what it was with his expansive knowledge of the country. Would definitely book them again for a future Asia trip!

We had 11 days in Taiwan and 5 in South Korea organized by the agency and had an excellent trip. We picked an opting for 4 people tour as we traveled with our friends. Agent (we have worked with Kiarra) provides absolutely commendable service. I'm not an easy client to deal but Kiarra was a marvel: diligent, patient, detailed oriented, keeping communication open and went beyond with assistance. Since it was only 4 of us, it allows certain flexibility with itinerary and Kiarra's suggestions and recommendations were excellent. During travel, some unexpected and unpredictable glitches were addressed very timely and we were very pleased with our trip. Definitely memorable, cultural, authentic experience that we will treasure for many years. We are planning other Asian trips and planning to utilize Asia Odyssey Tour for sure. Thank you for planning, preparing and being with other every step of this journey.

The concern, caring n detailed attention and preparation and information provided by Ms Chia and Driver Leo are worth commenting. Before we started the trip till we ended the trip, we ve such an wonderful time on the sightseeing. Even the trip ended and I ve questions for Taipei , Leo helped me to find out. The before n after services are excellent. My husband shared same feedback. Leo also acted as photographer for us. Nice. Awesome.
My overall experience has been excellent! Our driver has been very punctual, kind, and helpful. He even provided a walking cane for my grandparent when we didn't bring any. The car was very comfortable, and his driving was both timely and safe. My booking experience has also been very great. The representative I talked to was very helpful and accomodating. The itinerary we ended up agreeing on was not too taxing nor empty, the perfect amount. She did her best to ensure we had a pleasant time in Taiwan, even though she didn't have to. Every request of mine was actually given thought, and if realistic, was accepted. Overall, this tour has been pleasant at every step.
