The visit to the Buddhist Monastery was also good as were the Buddhist Temples. Some of the rock formations we spent time looking at were very ordinary, particularly Cat Rock!

Touring each day was very busy and you don't get much time to see around the areas where we stayed. Maybe commencing by 8am each day. We were happy with the places we visited but would have liked more time to walk near the hotel areas to see something of the cities we visited

Highlights of Taiwan - 7 daysDiscover Taiwan’s diverse landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant cities on this 7-day adventure. From the dynamic capital of Taipei to the serene beauty of Sun Moon Lake, the historic charm of Tainan, and the tropical coastlines of Kenting, explore ancient temples, bustling night markets, dramatic coastal scenery, and tranquil hot springs. Worldwide Touring7The guide Peter was the best! He was very funny and had lots of stories and local knowledge. He handled the group of 33 very well. The hotels were overall very nice. There was too much time on the bus. We always arrived at the hotels after the pool or other facilities were closed for the evening. Since the hotels were so nice, it would have been enjoyable to have more time to relax. Maybe removing or shortening a few stops could be considered.

Trip and guiding style
Trips visiting Tainan are guided group tours, with an English-speaking guide or tour leader throughout. On some trips, guiding may be in Mandarin as well as English, depending on the group and how the tour is operated.

Why visit Tainan
Historic streets, local flavours, and a great base for wider Taiwan routes
Tainan is a strong choice if you want Taiwan’s history to feel immediate and tangible, rather than something you only read about from a distance. The city is known for its older neighbourhoods, temple culture, and street food scene, which makes it a natural fit for trips that combine structured sightseeing with time to wander and explore at your own pace. On tours that visit Tainan, you can take in Fort Zeelandia and Anping Old Street and still have time to keep discovering, whether that means smaller shrines, tucked-away lanes, or an unhurried meal. Many Taiwan tours are fully guided, which can be especially helpful in a city shaped by narrow streets and sights spread across different districts. It also makes it easier to connect Tainan with other parts of the island within one coherent plan, with transport, timings, and key stops organized in advance. If you prefer a clear route with fewer moving parts to manage, Tainan offers a rewarding contrast to Taiwan’s bigger, faster-paced cities.
