Traumziel Taroko: Exklusive Privattour ab Taipeh – Unvergesslich!

This was a wonderful day trip, we had Oliver as our driver and guide and he was the best. Very knowledgeable and made the day so perfect! It is a longer drive to and from Taipei but worth it. Thank you to Charlie and Judy as well for finalizing our booking, overall a wonderful experience.

We had a great time seeing the sites at Taroko Gorge National Park. We really appreciated how there were so many stops, even just to hop out and get a quick picture at a nice viewpoint. We would highly recommend this tour, it’s a great way to see a lot in one day with a local guide.

Taiwan Charlie Chartered Tour is not a reputable company. Let me explain why...I booked this trip on a Wednesday for a Saturday tour that week. I upgraded to the 9-person van for my family of four (two adults and two kids) so we would.have more space as I knew the drive time was 2+ hours each way from Taipei City. I also updated my tour on Wednesday when I noticed the hotel pick up I initially selected was not correct. I received the first message from Taiwan Charlie Chartered Tour via the Viator app on Thursday confirming my reservation and that the driver/tour guide Danny will contact me. Unbeknownst to me, Danny reached out via WhatsApp and not through Viator. I was not expecting this and not have WhatsApp notifications enabled on my iPhone. Danny reached out on Thursday to let me know that the upgraded car was not available and to call Charlie to let him know. I did not see this message until Saturday, the morning of our tour. This message should've been communicated to me via Viator. Charlie never contacted me via Viator to let me know the transportation I selected was not available and did not offer to change the reservation to a standard car, which is half the price of the 9-person van. This is dishonorable. Charlie knew the van I paid for was unavailable but still kept my money. Charlie also did not give Danny the updated hotel information. I only discovered the messages on WhatsApp on Saturday morning as we were waiting for the Danny and the car. He was at the wrong hotel. Danny arrived in a car that seated us four, but my husband had to sit in the front passenger seat, something we wanted to avoid. The car smelled like cigarette smoke. We went on the tour which was fine but we experienced some headaches because of the cigarette smoke in the car. I notified Charlie via Viator after the tour on Saturday and he wrote "Sorry, I asked Danny to notify you two days ago to modify the order, but you haven't responded. Now I can't refund the difference, sorry! Charlie" This is dishonest for many reasons: 1. Danny contacted me outside of Viator. I believe per Viator, tour operators are supposed to communicate through their own platform. 2. Charlie's message to me on Saturday verifies that he knew the van I paid an upcharge for was unavailable but chose not to contact me via Viator earlier. If he had, I would have responded right away. 3. Charlie can still do the right thing and refund me the difference and chooses not to. In my travels, good tour companies will refund your booking at once if something amiss arises. Taiwan Charlie Chartered Tour is not such a company. Please do not use Taiwan Charlie Chartered Tour. If you do, make sure everything is right when you first book, Any updates on Viator are not communicated to Danny the driver/tour guide. Contact them first if you want to book the van to make sure it is available. Make sure you have WhatsApp to communicate with Danny.

Beautiful national park made special with the private guide and tour. Our guide was Danny. We had more flexibility with the schedule having a private vehicle vs other tour options like bus or shared van. Danny was polite and took many photos of us. On the hikes, he stayed in the car while my wife and I explored. This allowed us to go at our own pace! My only improve is wishing he explained more about the sites and history of the park. It was mostly a quiet car ride for the 2.5 hours each way. I also was not expecting to pay for his lunch during the tour.

If you are interested in stunning scenic views and imposing landscape, this is the tour for you. It is impressive to see how a road was carved into the mountain side and the many impressive bridges that were built. The gorge is a natural beauty to behold and reminds us how nature when left alone makes its own path. Though it was a 3 hour drive there and back, it was worth it.

Had a wonderful day at Toroko with Danny as my tour guide. I was traveling solo, and he was great to spend the day with, as well as planned a very tasty lunch. Taroko was beautiful, and Danny takes the best pictures of any tour guide! Highly recommend!

This was an incredible day. Our guide, Danny took great care to find the best views and provide personal photos of all the locations. The views are amazing and the lunch was unique and enjoyable. This is a must do if you have a day to spend in northern Tiawan.

The scenery and trails are worth the trip for an amazing nature experience. Danny, our guide and driver, was lovely to spend the day with. He took our photos with his camera, shared stories, and was always making sure we were okay and having a great time. Thank you again, danny!! He really is the best guide! - Mica & Belle, Philippines

The views in the Gorge are breathtaking and unlike anything else I've seen in my life. A must-do trip if you visit Taiwan. Very comfortable to do many trails having a driver that can drop you on trails where there is no parking and pick you up at the end. The most impressive trail in my opinion is the Baiyang Trail which leads you through caves and tunnels to the most inner and pure parts of tge Gorge. Danny was an excellent tour guide and driver, safely and fast getting from place to place and taking amazing pictures and videos.

Our trip was great. Danny was our driver and tour guide. He make our trip very fun , interesting and took pictures of us during the trip. This trip was trutly amazing. I recommend Danny. He took us to wonderful lunch. My family had a great time. He make sure
