Explore Taiwan tours visiting Taipei
City sights, night markets, and easy day trips, all starting from Taipei
Taipei is an excellent starting point for a Taiwan tour, combining bold street food, landmark temples, and straightforward day trips along the north coast. Trips that visit Taipei range from short stopovers to longer, loop-the-island routes, blending guided highlights with enough time to browse night markets, linger in cafés, and explore shopping streets at your own pace. Because many Taiwan itineraries start or finish in Taipei, it’s easy to add a city stay before continuing to places such as Sun Moon Lake or the east coast. Some tours are multi-country and may also include China, but within Taiwan the emphasis is on culture, scenery, and a well-paced plan that connects the key stops smoothly.

The Tour Guide, Ciao was excellent. A first class organizer and communicator. The Sun-Moon Lake area was very good, so was the Buddhist Monastery One of the rock formations we stopped at to walk around and see , called Cat Rock was ordinary, could drop that stop! However Ciao tried hard to make the stop interesting

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!
Taiwan Discovered - 8 daysCircle Taiwan in 8 days, uncovering its striking contrasts - Taipei’s buzzing backstreets, Tainan's colonial architecture, Sun Moon Lake’s calm waters, and the southern tropics of Kenting. Along the way, discover Hakka villages, mountain hot springs, coastal temples, and street food that tells a story. This is Taiwan beyond the postcard.Worldwide Touring8We were impressed with the high standard of accommodation at each place, especially Fleur de Chine Hotel at Sun Moon Lake and Grand Hi Lai Hotel at Kaohsiung. 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.

Why start in Taipei
A lively capital base with iconic sights and simple links to north Taiwan
Why visit Taipei with On The Go? Taipei suits travelers who want a lively capital base with easy day trips, without committing to long travel days between destinations. Even a short stay can cover major landmarks and leave room for night markets, local specialities, and a restorative hot-spring soak, while longer Taiwan itineraries often start and end here to keep connections practical. Trips that visit Taipei also work for different travel styles, with group tours that create a shared experience and private tours that feel more tailored, while still following a clear plan. Many options include guided sightseeing in the city and along the north coast, making it straightforward to visit leading museums and historic streets, then use your free time for shopping, cafés, or an unhurried food hunt. With support when it matters and breathing space built into the schedule, Taipei is both easy to navigate and full of contrast.
