Hot springs, night markets, and the world's best xiaolongbao.
What is a custom tour to Taipei?
A custom tour to Taipei is a private, fully personalized itinerary built around your dates, interests, and budget. Instead of following a fixed group schedule, you work with a local expert to choose experiences like Night market food crawl (Raohe), Beitou hot springs half-day, and Taroko Gorge rail and hike day. Travelers typically spend 7–10 days in Taipei, visiting in October–December, March–April, with custom tours starting from around €1,800 per person.
A custom tour to Taipei is not the same trip as a package. It's designed around you — your pace, your interests, your dates — with a local partner who lives there and knows which streets are worth the walk and which are worth skipping. A custom Taipei tour queues at Din Tai Fung's original and skips to a better one, books a Beitou hot-spring afternoon, and takes you up Yangmingshan for cherry blossoms in February or silver grass in November.
Taipei sits in Taiwan in Asia, and rewards travelers who go beyond the highlights. Our custom itineraries start with the icons — Night market food crawl (Raohe) and Din Tai Fung xiaolongbao lesson — then pivot to the kind of local moments that make a trip memorable: a morning with a private guide, a quiet hour at Jiufen old town before the crowds arrive, and an evening chosen just for you.
Plan for October–December, March–April as the best window to visit. A one-week custom trip starts from €1,800 per person, including private guides, curated hotels, and flexible transport — peak weeks cost more, shoulder months less. Taipei still offers excellent value compared to comparable destinations.
