This is a private full-day tour in Taipei lasting eight hours with a flexible, custom itinerary. The tour begins with pickup at the hotel lobby by a local guide and private air-conditioned vehicle. Guests can create their own schedule to visit attractions in Taipei City and nearby areas such as Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall, or Jiufen Old Street. For first-time visitors, a suggested classic route is available. The day can start at Longshan Temple, built in 1738, where visitors spend about 30 minutes learning about Taiwan’s culture and religion while viewing the temple’s historic architecture. Next is the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, opened in 1980, including Liberty Square, the National Theatre, and a guard changing ceremony; this stop lasts about 50 minutes. Then the tour moves to Dihua Street for about 40 minutes to see a historic commercial area known for Chinese medicinal herbs, fabrics, incense, and tea processing dating back to the 1850s. After that, the National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine, built in 1969, is visited for about 30 minutes, featuring Chinese architecture and a guard changing ceremony. The National Palace Museum in Taipei’s Shilin District is next, with a suggested visit of about 50 minutes to view over 600,000 artifacts transferred from Beijing; admission is optional and the museum is closed on Mondays. Taipei 101 is included for outside viewing or an optional visit to the 89th-floor observatories at the visitor’s own expense, with about 50 minutes allotted. Finally, guests can choose to hike Elephant Mountain (Nangang District Hiking Trail), a 40-minute stair climb offering panoramic views of Taipei and Taipei 101, or opt for alternatives such as relaxing at a nearby café. The tour includes parking fees, tolls, bottled water, the private vehicle, and passenger insurance. Food, drinks, and admission fees are not included.
