Love the Rail stories!
Thank you, Kai, for the fascinating introduction to the rail story of Taichung. We have learnt a new facet of your hometown and its history. Good tempo and engaging conversations. Thank you also for the recommendations to the different eateries. ☺️

The perfect blend of preparation, enthusiasm and local knowledge
We have been to Taiwan several times, but never to Taichung. We were genuinely interested in understanding why this city was so different from the others. Pei took us to many important places and spoke in depth about their history and culture. Thank you, Pei, for such an enjoyable and informative tour.

Great tour
It’s very cool to have a small tour group. The tour was well organized (prepared a brief intro to the overall history of Taiwan, which is especially informative to foreign tourists). The tour guides were patient and knowledgeable to answer any questions. Most of them came from Taichung. They also made some good recommendations about where to go and where to eat. While visiting Taichung, we had walked by Taichung train station a lot. Without having the tour, we wouldn’t have known a lot of the fun history of the three-generation train station. Also, our tour guides took us walking through the green river area where the famous ice cream store Miyahara is located. It’s interesting to know more about what happened before and how it impacts the area today.

How does a free tour work?
Booking costs nothing. At the end, each person gives the guide what they think is fair for the experience: it's a voluntary tip.
