can look for this driver, he's driving Toyota Wish so 4pax should be fine provided he's not booked.

We just came back from our maiden trip in Taiwan. Our guide was Uncle Henry, he took very good care of my family (2 seniors + 2 adults + 2 children), his first time taking a Muslim family in Taiwan. English speaking. Can contact him on Facebook Henry Jong - Taiwan Tour Guide.

Hi all

I highly recommend Jun Han. He is polite, handsome, patient and very gentlemanly. He is only 36 years old, energetic and friendly. Unlike others who are rugged who I have experienced. I am still with him now and added him on Facebook. He will fetch is back coming Sunday morning.

He adds value in explaining the history behind each destination. Book him with confidence. Pricing is reasonable. His car is a new Toyota wish.

+886 932 225 265

Regards,
Alex

Hi, I am traveling to taiwan next yr march.

We are looking for a private guide to bring us ard taiwan ( taichung, kaohsiung and hualian then to taipei).

We have 3 pax for first few days as we are meeting a fren from taiwan there, for the rest of the trip just my wife and myself. The guide quoted us 6k NT for 3 pax and 5k NT for 2 pax per day. Is this the norm now?

As my wife use this guide before 2-3 years back which she find quite good. For that trip, he used to charge 4800K NT for 3 pax. So we quite surprise the price went up 25% more.

Thanks and Regards,
Eng Chew

That's why i will nv engage a taipei drive outside taipei. Just google abit harder you will be able to find local guides. Esp popular route like taichung, hualien. I also believe that local guide will be more knowledgeable than taipei based guide.

Instead of hiring just one guide for your entire trip, why not break it into taichung, kaohsiung, hualien & tpe. Also i doubt you will need a guide within taipei city; more for New Taipei City (新北市). Also most guide cum driver charge by per car per day, the no. of pax sometimes doesnt matter.

i think its normal range. we engaged a driver just for Taipei alone for 5 days already cost us 6k NT a day lor. For 7 pax.
