Hello David,
We’re delighted with our stay. Steph is truly a great guide: attentive, generous, curious about everything, happy to help us discover and love his adopted country, and attentive to ensuring our stay was a success. And it was!
We loved everything about it. Discovering Taipei and Steph’s great tips for finding a good restaurant for dinner. The day in the North with its geological park, which Steph knows so well and was able to show us its intricacies.
The two days in Alishan with a special mention for the guesthouse in the middle of the tea plantation. We arrived there in the fog which made the place a little mysterious and the next day the view had cleared and the landscape amazed us. Here again Stéph’s knowledge of tea allowed us to appreciate it even more. No regrets for the Taroko Gorge. We had to make a choice and I had favored them for their greater proximity to Taipei since we were returning there to spend the weekend with our nephew. But the mountains of Alishan are well worth it. On the other hand, if I had to do it all over again I would rather go for a walk around the guesthouse than take the very touristy walk up to Alishan.
The second part of the stay in Tainan also interested us and ending up on Liuqiu Island was a must!
Note that the stay was also gastronomic.
In short, a huge thank you. We will come back to you on our next trip to Asia.
Thank you too, David, for the way you prepared this trip for us.
Yours faithfully
Virginie
