Longshan Temple
Longshan Temple is located in the heart of west end Taipei, and serves as the religious center of local community. The temple was first established in the 18th century by Chinese immigrants coming to Taipei, who later built Monga District as their settlement for trade and business. In the following years, Longshan Temple went through a series of earthquakes, typhoons, as well as wartime air raids, but has always remained resilient thanks to renovations, enthusiastic believers and the gods’ blessing. Today, Longshan Temple is one of the most iconic buildings of historic Taipei and a popular destination for sightseeing among foreign visitors and worshipers.
Bopiliao Historic Block
Bopiliao, literally meaning “skin-peeling” was once the commercial center of northern Taipei where Chinese immigrants conducted trade with the indegineous community. During its most glorious years, you would find its street filled with hostels, shops and public bath houses to accomodate the traders and local residents. Here you will also find the best-preserved architecture from Qing dynasty China in Taipei, some of its features have even been incorporated into modern Taiwanese style!

5.00Found Like It Formosa before my trip to Taiwan and did the Historic Walking Tour in Taipei. Both of my guides were fantastic and the tour itself was very informative, so I ended up booking three more tours through them during the rest of my time in Taiwan. I ended up doing both of the tours in Tainan and the tour in Taichung. Highly recommend this company to anyone traveling to Taiwan as it's a great way to get your feet wet in each destination. My guides Alvin, Yuan, Kevin, and Rowena (who was my guide for both one of the Tainan tours and my Taichung tour) were all very knowledgeable about each city, were very fun, and had some great restaurant recommendations as well. Would have even booked more tours if my schedule allowed it.
An enjoyable and eye-opening tour

5.00I joined the Taipei Historic Walking Tour and was guided by Mabel and Alice. They were fantastic - their passion for their country and its history really shone through and made the tour that much more enjoyable. They were very open to chat, happy to answer questions, and offered unique perspectives! I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who's keen to learn more about Taiwan's history and people that have led to the political struggles we see today. It rained rather heavily on the day of our tour, but the tour proceeds rain or shine, which speaks even more to the tour guides' passion. Do check weather conditions beforehand and prepare the necessary.
A wealth of knowledge and history

5.00Luke and Alvin gave a wonderful tour highlighting the history of Taiwan and bringing it alive by showing us buildings from each era Highly recommended as an introductory tour to Taipei and Taiwan
Ok tour if you just pay the 5 USD ( beware they ask for more)

3.00Ok Tour, but Tour size too big. We had almost 50 people. A lot of walking , but didn’t see many interesting sites . I didn’t appreciate we were asked for quite a large sum at the end of the tour to “tip”. The sum they asked for was much higher than the 5USD we had already paid ( they recommended 400-1000 NTD extra per person ) which left us with a very bitter taste . Also, our guides got too much into politics ( trying to promote their political view).

5.00Wonderful tour with two very knowledgeable women who spoke English very well and made the tour very interesting. Well timed breaks albeit very short (7-10 mins) and be prepared to walk about 1.5 to 2 miles (3-4 km). Can’t beat the price - they work for tips and suggested tip is $400-600 per person in your tour. I believe they earned it!
Informative and humorous tour

5.00Jason teresa and luke were great tour guides. They were very knowledgeable about the city - information we wouldnt have known by just walking around Taipei ourselves. Their goal was for us to fall in love with Taiwan and they achieved just that! Thanks for such an informative walking tour!

5.00Very informative! I have two suggestions however. Add an hour to the walk. Spend a half hour in the February 28 museum highlighting displays and a half hour at the Chaing Kai Sheck exhibits pointing out highlights including the American Presidents who happily supported a despot in the name of Anti-Communism. Go ahead and charge $60 US.
Nice walk

5.00Eric was a great guide. He was easy to understand and answered all our questions. I was actually booked for the previous day but I was 5 minutes late and that group left at 10:03. So don't be late!!! I could not call to tell them that I was nearby, running, as I don't have a Sim card/wifi on the go in Taiwan. I was really upset that day and I was afraid that I couldn't replan my day, considering my short stay in Taiwan. In the end all works out.
