  Espectacular  - Tuvimos una excursión excelente gracias al gran guía que teníamos! Nos llevó por lugares chulisimos y comimos en un restaurante buenísimo de comida local!

Tienen un conocimiento increíble tanto de Taipei como de Taiwan en general, son súper atentos y se intentan adaptar a... read more todas las necesidades que puedas tener. La verdad es que quedamos súper contentos con ellos 🙂
Si tenemos la oportunidad de volver a Taiwan, haremos otra excursión con ellos seguro!

  Perfect Day Hike  - This is the perfect day hike from Taipei. I opted for the extended route and it was challenging to me, but I am so happy that I did. The scenery... read more and views were phenomenal and magnificent. My tour guide made sure that everything was perfect. I was not smart and did not bring any snacks and he gave me his food and water to make sure I was okay along the way. Where I’m from that’s called Southern hospitality. You will not regret this day hike.

  I was researching how to do a hiking at Yangmingshan when I chance upon HolaTaipei. Communication on email was clear and smooth, Cristian prepared us on the items to bring... read more and recommended the route according to our experience.

On the actual day, Cristian reached our hotel on time and took us to another route instead of the one we discussed a week ago. He considered the weather and terrain conditions and made calculated decision. He also planned the route in such a way that it’s easier to go up from one end and come down on the other end.

During the hike, Cristian would share with us information not just about Yangminshan but also on Taipei and even research for us the places we wanted to go. We had a few stops to take some breaks and he also took nice photos and video for us!

It’s a good choice to contact HoloTaipei, Cristian is the right person to go hiking with. We appreciate his effort in making the experience wonderful.

  Hiking tour to Jiantan mountain - I was the only joiner and was comfortable with the guide; Anusha. She shared honestly of her personal knowledge on the Grand hotel, temple(s), dutch architect, the ridge, mountains, trail,... read more guard post, flora and fauna.
We visited the typical observatory sites. It was interesting to see Danshui and Keelung river merge. I was happiest on the rugged trail towards the end. I recommend this introductory hike to all who visit Taipei!

  Fantàstic - He pasado unos dias en Taipéi.
Mi hijo venia por trabajo y yo le he acompañado, porqué queria conocer esta maravillosa ciudad.
Mi agencia de viajes contrató... read more el servicio de guia con HolaTaipei.
Durante 3 días, Cristian me ha acompañado a visitar las zonas más bonitas e interesantes de la ciudad y alrededores.

Es una persona encantadora y cultivada.
Inquieto e interesado por la cultura de Taiwán y de otros países, las visitas con Cris son muy amenas, porqué mientras vas conociendo los distintos lugares que te enseña, te va introduciendo en la cultura, costumbres e historia del país, donde hace 10 años decidió emprender la bonita aventura de vivir y trabajar.
En un “plis”, Cris se convierte en ese amigo/guía que te gustaría tener en cualquier parte del mundo.
Te enseña, te acompaña, te ayuda, te cuenta..

Tengo por costumbre visitar las ciudades acompañada por un guia.
Creo que es la mejor manera para conocer una ciudad, un país, sus costumbres y a sus gentes, pero jamás me había sentido tan a gusto y tan bien informada como con Cristian!

Thank you very much Cristian!
We will never forget you!

Espero que algún día ens retrobem a la nostra ciutat comptal!
Una abraçada immensa!

  Couldn't have asked for more!! - Me and my husband were looking for a hiking tour and Roberto kindly organised a local guide to take us.

The organisation from start to finish was so easy... read more and the tour was full of surprises.

We had climbed the highest peak , visited the waterfalls and yangminshan park.

Everything was perfect.

I would definitely recommend Hola to experience a special tour.

  Learn about Taiwan with a fun and knowledgeable professional - Christian spent several days with us on a tour of Taiwan, and besides having incredible knowledge of the country and its history, has a gift for sharing it in a... read more candid and interesting way. He’s also very kind and friendly. Contact him with enough time in advance because his tours get booked fast

  Un día de senderismo cerca de Jiufen - Junto a dos colegas contratamos un tour de senderismo subiendo a 3 picos cerca de Jiufen. El guía nos recogió con mucha puntualidad por la mañana y nos llevó hasta... read more el lugar de comienzo. Desde allí empezamos a subir monte arriba hasta la primera cima, apodada la tetera. De allí seguimos a la segunda y a la tercera. Nos hizo un día espectacular y el guía se portó de forma inmejorable. Almorzamos en un restaurante super tranquilo y con vistazas en Jiufen, bastante escondido, ni de broma lo hubieramos encontrado por cuenta propia.

  Fab hike in Yangmingshan - We had a spare day in Taipei and Cristian took us (me and my two teenage boys) on a lovely hike to Qixing, the highest peak. Cristian was super patient... read more and pleasant. Absolutely worth it, a fabulous day, highly recommend!

  El viaje y el guía (Cristian) fueron muy interesantes. Nos recogió con una furgoneta muy cómoda e hicimos todo lo previsto. Durante todo el trayecto, Cristian nos contó muchas curiosidades... read more y nos enseñó lugares escondidos y poco conocidos, lo que hizo una experiencia inolvidable. Comimos en un restaurante que Cristian nos recomendó poco conocido pero excelente.
El tour lo hicimos en catalán y lo recomendamos sin dudarlo.
Gracias por la experiencia Cristian.

  FANTÁSTICA EXCURSION - Ha sido una excursión muy bonita y Cristian es encantador, siempre considerado y atento con nosotros. Sin lugar a dudas, no sólo recomiendo esta excursión sino también el resto... read more de excursiones que hay disponibles en holataipei.

  La cara más alternativa de Taiwán con HolaTaipei - Cuando viajamos no acostumbramos a reservar viajes ni excursiones organizadas,
pero en un país como Taiwán fue clave. La gran barrera lingüística hace que cosas tan sencillas como pedir... read more direcciones, coger un taxi o ir a cenar, se te hagan una montaña. Muchos lugares turísticos ni siquiera tienen las explicaciones traducidas al inglés, por lo que no disfrutas al 100% lo que estás viviendo. Por eso fue un acierto encontrar HolaTaipei. Además de hacer varias excursiones por Taiwán con ellos, nos recomendaron sitios estupendos donde comer y dormir. Personal amable, muy atento y con un amplio conocimiento de Taiwán, amenizaron nuestros días con historias y anécdotas taiwanesas. Además de visitar lo imprescindible tuvimos la oportunidad de ver un Taiwán más alternativo!
Gracias por todo chicos!

  Beautiful hiking with full facilities  - Cristian, our guide, had planned the adventure with accuracy and attention to details. With a pick up at 8h15 with a comfortable minivan, after only 40 min drive we were... read more at the trail starting point out of the city in the middle of a beautiful tropical forest. The first 6,8 km are a mix of stairs and flat paved trail. We encounter a big group of wild buffalos taking a mud bath. The most challenging part is the climb up to the pick, that is reachable with a long sequence of hundred of stairs. Cristian is supportive and motivating. Up there a beautiful view of Taipei city all the way to the ocean. All along the trail, Cristian is enthusiastic to share his knowledge about the history of Taiwan its contradictions and contemporary challenges. At the end of the trail, Luke, the driver, was waiting for us and with a Short drive down, we were back in Taipei. 5/5 adventure with a kind a knowledgeable guide.

  Bonita experiencia en el norte de Taiwan  - Hace unos días hicimos un tour con "Hola Taipei" por el norte de Taiwan, Jiufen y el parque geológico de Yehliu, fuimos con la familia y unos amigos y la... read more experiencia fué excelente. Cristian, nuestro guía hizo un trabajo too, en la visita a Jiufen fué de gran ayuda especialmente con la traducción en algunos momentos y recomendando sitios para las fotos.
La próxima vez que visitemos Taiwán volveremos a contar con Hola Taipei definitivamente para que nos acompañen en alguno de sus tours.

  Experience Taipei with Hola Taipei - Our tour with Cristian was a great experience and though time in Dadaocheng was short Cristian showed us the best that this historic area had to offer. He was extremely... read more solicitous and accommodated as many of our requests as possible. One of the members of our group had mobility issues and he assisted her whenever it was needed. We thoroughly enjoyed his food recommendations as well as the tea factory visit. His explanations about the rituals in the temple were engaging. We highly recommend Hola Taipei as their tours are immersive and interesting

  a hike to remember  - cristian was an amazing tour guide who took the time to walk us through what we needed for the hike the day before. he was also very reassuring as... read more this was our 1st hike and we were thankful for the info he provided prior to the hike. the route that he took us on was indeed very scenic and it is apparent he has thought through and come up with the best way for hikers to take it easy but still go all the way to the top.
given the very sudden closure of the suspension bridge, cristian was able to make changes and adapt to all the changing circumstances that allowed us to make it all the way to the top in the time he said we would. 🙂

he is also very knowledgeable about all the various other hikes in taiwan and we are very much looking forward to joining him on another hike of alishan should we return to taiwan.
