Explore the areas surrounding Taipei and Taiwan’s north coast on an 8-hour private guided car tour, ideal for travellers who want to discover northern Taiwan’s highlights comfortably without the hassle of public transport. With a private vehicle and local driver-guide, you can follow a suggested route or tailor the day to your interests, pace, and available time.

A recommended itinerary begins at Yehliu Geopark, where your driver-guide will introduce its famous coastal rock formations, including the iconic Queen’s Head. Continue to Jiufen Old Street, a historic hillside town known for its lantern-lined alleys, tea houses, local snacks, and nostalgic atmosphere. Then visit Shifen Waterfall and Shifen Old Street, where you can experience the famous Pingxi sky lantern tradition by writing your wishes on a lantern and releasing it beside the railway tracks.

Depending on traffic and your preferred pace, the route can also be adjusted to explore Taipei’s outskirts, visit Yangmingshan, or stop at other scenic viewpoints. Throughout the day, your driver-guide will help manage the timing, introduce the main stops, recommend local food, and adjust the route according to your preferences.

If the suggested route does not suit your interests, you can customise your own 8-hour itinerary. Whether you prefer lively old streets, cultural landmarks, coastal scenery, or local traditions, this private guided tour offers a comfortable and flexible way to explore Taipei and northern Taiwan.
