An absolute MUST try when visiting Taipei! Taiwan is known around the world for its incredible food and getting to know the history of the food, the local favorites and many interesting facts about the culinary experience is a great way to begin your adventure in Taipei! Our guide Tina was so knowledgable, friendly and eager to share her knowledge and fun facts with everyone in the group. There is sooooo much food you will be eating so come hungry! The variety of food she had shown us and that we tasted was delicious! Everything is so well organized. As you walk through the Dadaocheng district Tina shares all she knows about the architecture, food and more so you not only get a food tour but a well rounded Food + Taipei/Taiwan history tour! I highly recommend Taipei Eats, there is no better company out there!

As my group has all lived in Asia and mainland China for a long time, we thought the Old School tour would give us more Taiwan specific treats. The booking ended up only being our group of friends and we were so impressed by Tina's knowledge of local cuisine, excitement to share the history of each dish, and flexibility and overall willingness to curate a wonderful experience for us.

The beauty of Taiwan's food is that it embraces and fuses together elements from its multicultural history and population to create some of the most interesting and best foods for all different palate preferences. We easily tried 15+ dishes throughout the tour and were so happy she modified the tour as we went to introduce us to new foods. By the end of the tour, I felt able to use the local language and slang and to describe these foods.

I would gladly book another tour through Taipei Eats on my next trip to Taiwan. Best value for money of any food tour I've done across 3 continents.

The food was amazing and the back round combined with the knowledge that Tina brought to the table was amazing, im positive that without Tina in dept knowledge of food and vendor type and location i would not have been able to experience the true traditional taiwanese food.

We're really glad we took this really unique tour and intro to DaDaoCheng - while the area is distinct and "known," the intro to various 40, 60, and 80-yr vendors of traditional foods was invaluable. Our wonderful guide Jean also gave us a good amount of history and background on the area, how it developed, and how it has changed. A great time!

At the end of July, we participated in the "Old School" visit to Dadaocheng with Tina to discover traditional Taiwanese street food through tasting a
multitude of typical recipes. Our guide Tina accompanied us very well to allow us to discover this culinary world that we would certainly never have been able to experience otherwise. I can recommend it to you!

I did the old school food tour with Jean and had a great time. The food was all amazing and we went to areas that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. I was definitely full by the end but Jean did a great job at letting us know how many stops we had left so we could pace ourselves. The fish balls were without a doubt the best ones I've ever had. I learned a lot about Taiwan and the culture and had a really wonderful time. Thank you Jean!
