The rock field is small, exposed and best before the coaches arrive, which makes the departure time the whole decision. These 15 compare the shared runs and the private cars on price, group size and what else they fit into the day.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,654 reviews · 9 hours · from $31Our pick

Travel from Taipei to Shifen, Jiufen, and Yehliu Geopark on a nine-hour guided trip. Release a wish lantern, see Shifen Waterfall, explore Jiufen Old Street, and find the Queen’s Head rock. Shared tours meet at Taipei Main Station, while private tours include hotel pickup. Guides speak Chinese, English, or Japanese.

“The trip to some of Taipei’s most remarkable, historically/culturally significant and, it has to be said, beautiful spots in a 9 hour excursion was nothing short of spectacular. As I remarked to our wonderful guide Jerry - who is fluent in multiple languages - I felt, in the limited time I have in Taipei, I had seen so much in one day that I could not possibly have achieved otherwise. A beautifully curated package, the visitor gets to revel in the uncanny curiosity that is Yehliu Geopark (with yesterday’s wild ocean, particularly stunning); the power of the the Shifen waterfall, the delights of the food stalls and the particular pleasure…”

Spend about nine hours exploring northern Taiwan with a driver and a group of up to eight. Visit Yehliu Geopark, Golden Waterfall, Jiufen Old Street, Shifen Waterfall, and Shifen Old Street. English or Mandarin-speaking drivers are available, though this is transportation with commentary rather than a fully guided tour.

“We had a lovely day with Martin — who was truly one of the most thoughtful guides, ever. From stopping to grab us dumplings on the way to the Geopark, to providing walking sticks to help us around the Falls’ more slippery areas, even to procuring a special lunch for the vegetarian in our group, or making sure we tried Taipei specialties throughout the day. Martin is also extremely knowledgeable about Taipei’s history and geography. We highly recommend.”
