Best Tours & activities in Taipei (2026)

Taipei is easy to explore independently, but a guided tour early in your stay helps you understand what you are seeing and where to eat. Free, tip-based walking tours are a good start: TourMeAway has run them daily since 2014 on routes through the old town, around Lungshan Temple and through vintage Taipei, and Like It Formosa offers historic and modern routes seven days a week. Both companies also run paid food, pub and private tours.

For food, Taipei Eats, founded in 2015, runs small-group walks with between six and twelve or more tastings, including an old-town tour in Dadaocheng and a night market tour; come hungry and mention allergies before booking. Taipei Bike Tours covers about 15 kilometres in a four-hour morning ride from Dadaocheng, taking in Longshan Temple, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and the Tamsui riverside, with breakfast included. If you prefer to sit back, the double-decker sightseeing buses run Red and Blue routes from Taipei Main Station with a four-language audio guide. Book online in advance, check meeting points in your confirmation, and bring water, sun protection and an umbrella, as Taipei's weather can change quickly.
