The 7 Best Old Town Walking Tours in Taipei

7 reviewed

Dihua Street still sells dried scallops and herbal medicine out of shophouses built for the tea trade, and Longshan Temple has been busy since 1738. These 7 walks cover old Taipei properly: the route, the distance, whether tastings are included, and which run tip-based rather than fixed price.

“Great experience , lots to learn from Leo around the history of Taiwan and Taipei . The walk wasn’t too bad or too far , though the heat and humidity can take it out of you so the stop to have the icy honey lemon drink was great !! Leo was very gracious to stay back and give us directions on where to go and try next . I enjoyed this .”
