Just got back from taiwan. Was with this driver for most part of my taipei trip, save us a lot of travelling time. I recomend him was because he is a mature,honest man and doesn't come across as being too tourist feel/ overly chatty (if you get what i mean).

Had a great chat with him and learn alot about the taiwanese culture and way of life.

吴东心 (东哥) +886 0939889817

- 7 seater vehicle (good for big groups), my group was 4.
- He also do airport transfer
- Flexible timing/location according to your own preference/ pace
- Food recommendation.
- Reasonable price.
- He was my wedding shoot driver and also help out with the shoot professionally with no complaints.

i tour
-Monga movie shoot location
-miltary solider changing of shift at zhong nian ci
-Yangmingshan (it's easier with a driver where you get to go certain locations not known to some tourist)
-Attractions of danshui

-yeliu
-jiufen old street

Just back from Taipei. Used 吴东心 service to yeliu, jiufen, etc. His 7 seaters Mitshibi is comfortable fo 5 of us.

Wonder is it the same Mr Xu as below which is quoted from another forum, tripadvisor!

"I engaged the service of taxi driver Mr Xu Wan Liu on 5 Nov 2011.

I told him we want to go Yehliu, Jinguashi, Jiufen, Shifen & Pingxi. He picked us at 8.30am and we reached Yehliu at 9.30 am. He said he needs to control our time due to many places to visit. We finished Yehliu in 1 hr.

2nd stop was Jiufen and he said meet at 2.30 but we said 1.30pm. 3rd stop was Jinguashi - Gold Ecological Park. Everything so far so good. We reached there 1.45pm and he said finished touring call him. We finished in 1 hr which is 2.45pm and started calling him but he did not pick up our calls! We called more than 30 times and even went to police station who call him & checked his records and he still didn't pick up. We waited & keep calling till 4.30pm. Then he said his phone was accidentally put on silent mode. Lame excuse.

He said too late to go to Shifen but we insisted. By the time we reached there, it was 5.15pm. The photo was not nice because sun set very fast from 5 to 6pm.

If have a choice, don't engage him."

while choosing you a cab driver you may think that he should not be drinker. Because due to this there may be a chances of accident.

Highly Recommended Cab Driver

I was there early December 2011, used cab driver Mr Lee for day trip to Yehliu and Jiufen. Only contacted him the day before. He is a fine gentleman, guide and explain to you well. Very patient. At Jiufen, he was guiding us personally and carrying our purchases.

His rate is very reasonable. After day trip, brought us back to hotel to drop off our shopping stuff and then sent us to our next stop, night market. No complaints whatsover with our extra request. I ended up giving him a big tip, just happy to have him.

His cab is a MPV type size(7 seater), quite common in Taipei.

His contact: +886 (0)932 655301 Email: [7131730@yahoo.com.tw]

Just wanna share my disappointment with Mr Meeky over my booking which was made in early November last year. Understand he is very popular with a lot of good review about him in a few forums, thats why i drop him an email 4 months in advance to book him for my trip in Feb 2012. Got a reply from him that he is free on that day, so i forwarded him my hotel address and contact no and time of pick up. Then no responses from him since then and my subsequent emails to him for confirmation also receive no response. Until today which is only 2 weeks prior to my trip, he replied that he is not free. This really pissed me off. If he is not free he should have inform me earlier so i can make arrangement with other cabbies. I believe he must have waiting all these while for bigger booking so that he can earn more for fetching 4-5ppl rather than confirming my booking for only 2 person.

Anyone who want to book his service, my advice is to call him to confirm rather than correspond with him through email.

Now i have to search for other cabbies last minute...
