★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews

Meet your driver at Keelung’s West Passenger Terminal and ride privately to your Taipei hotel in about 40 minutes. Sedans suit one or two people, while minivans handle larger groups. Your driver helps with luggage, but this is a transfer, not a sightseeing tour, and clear pickup details matter at the busy port.

6.Keelung Port Cruise Tour from Taipei

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews

You get a private vehicle for up to four people and up to eight hours with a local driver-guide. Shape the day around Taipei 101, Jiufen, Shifen, Yehliu, the National Palace Museum, temples, or city sights. Guides such as Grace, Arthur Chen, Justin, and Danny have helped families and cruise passengers fit a lot into limited port time. Tickets and meals cost extra.

“This tour was a great way to experience Taipei in a short amount of time. Arthur Chen our guide/driver was outstanding. His love for his city was evident. We had a great day and saw much more than if we had taken one of the ship's shore excursions, and the cost for 2 was actually a little less than the ship's tour. Highly recommend!”
