Breathtaking Yangmingshan: Private Volcano & Nature Escape

I'll admit, I didn't have high expectations for this tour- a simple volcano tour, but I was pleasantly surprised! My son and I had a great time. The hikes weren't challenging at all, really just a pleasant stroll through some beautiful grasslands, and through hot springs! The scenery and conversation with our guide Paul were great. I've been on tours where the guide was a little too polished and well rehearsed like a professor, and guides that felt like they were a friend showing you around. Paul was a friend showing us around. In fact when he learned my son and I desperately wanted to try beef noodle soup, he offered to take us to his favorite spot back in Taipei, communicate with the waitstaff for us, and allowed us to arrange an Uber back to our hotel. We emphatically agreed! We highly recommend

We had a great time on this trip. Jimmy our guide was fantastic and credit to his company. Looked after us so well and even brought us some breakfast to start the day with. Jimmy even took some photos of us which he sent us which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this trip. Also do the early start to beat the crowds.

Amazing place - totally flexible tour with the activities being chosen based on what we wanted. Aaron was great.

Nicolas Ying was our tour guide, and he was fun and awesome! We learned so much about the history of the area from him, and he took us to several beautiful locations on Yangminshan mountain that we would probably have totally missed out on our own. We also really appreciate that he helped us take so many pictures to remember our experiences. I plan on booking with yolo Taiwan again in the future and hope Nicolas is our guide then too!!!

Lief was a great guide. He was very patient with my 8-year-old son and allowed us to explore things at our own pace. I highly recommend him!

Despite getting unlucky with the rainy weather our amazing guide Nicolas Ying made sure we had a great time and customized our itinerary to your liking. In addition to the sightseeing we enjoyed Nicolas knowledge of culture and history.

The tour is good but by no means great. The sulphur emissions are interesting but you can't see far due to fog that seems almost always present. The other things in the area were so ordinary that they shouldn't even be part of the trip. They showed us grasslands with a few water buffalos grazing. If you are from Asia, water buffalos are the most ordinary things. They also showed a small pond where the water is white due to minerals, calling it the milk pond. Hardly interesting. They also showed a little shallow rainwater pond which they called a lake! It is definitely not anything like a lake. However, the flower clock area is very interesting and worth spending time.

Great tour and Nicolas provided exceptional door to door experience, showing us the beauty of a region just outside of Taipei.

Fantastic! Very professional! Friendly! Great with children. Smooth driver and very knowledgeable and an excellent historian.

The tour was exactly as described, the driver picked us up from our hotel at the appointed time, drove us around the park and took us to a lunch spot at the end before returning us to our hotel. The weather was abysmal. I wish the driver had recommended alterations to the tour to make it more enjoyable during bad weather.
