I'm going to start with.... TAKE THIS TOUR! The Old School Food Tour Yes, it's a bit more pricey than some of the night market tours, but the quality and quantity far surpass the price point. Our guide, Jean, has been with this organization for 9 years. Her knowledge on the vendors, the area and the food is a 10 star rating! This truly felt like a 'local' tour. We would never have tried these establishments on our own. From back street carts to generational restaurants. You will get the gamut during this 3+ hour tour! Forgot one thing - the list of recommendations - I can't wait to try a few of these!
We did the Traditional Old School Taiwanese Food Tour with Jean and she was a knowledgeable, patient and caring guide. She was great at explaining the local foods and some history, making sure we had shade and cold drinks, checking-in with us as we strolled and ate. The tour is an excellent introduction to Taiwanese savoury and sweet dishes, with too many highlights to choose a favourite. Start hungry and pace yourself! Big thanks to Jean and Taipei Eats for an enjoyable morning out
Tina's Iconic Taiwanese Food Tour is amazing. It's obvioius the flow and food are well-considered, with a great balance of food, from snacks to heavier portions, a smooth flow of walking / sit-down meals, and even something sweet at the end. My wife and I joined a nice group of 8 people, which Tina managed very well walking us through some interesting neighbourhoods. I could not recommend this tour enough if you want a good intro to Taiwanese cuisine.
My family joined the Iconic Food Tour last month and really enjoyed it. Tina was a great guide — very articulate and knowledgeable about the culture and the origins of the food. We stopped by several hole-in-the-wall establishments and sampled some very delicious food and drinks — some we actually can’t get out of our heads until now (that pork belly bun 🤤)! This tour entails a lot of walking, but at a leisurely pace, so it was doable even if we were traveling with two children. We loved doing this tour, and can’t wait to bring our friends and family to Taipei to try these new discoveries!
What an outstanding culinary experience this turned out to be! From my first email to Tina, to our last stop of our tour, everything went so smooth! Our guide Mike was an absolute legend, as he was so professional, with great inputs on each dish, as well as being very personable and very friendly. We ended up doing the Iconic Tour, which included roughly 10-12 dishes. We truly enjoyed the pace that Mike had, and he clearly explained what we were eating. The variety of food we had was great from soup dumplings, to stinky tofu, to Boba tea. I can't thank Tina and Mike enough for such an outstanding tour, you guys are awesome!
