These are all concerns that tours can help to resolve. For first time travelers to Taiwan, booking a tour is an excellent way to get the layout of the land. Even if you like exploring on your own, we recommend booking a tour for the first half of your trip. You can use this time to get accustomed to traveling in Taiwan, and learn the ropes before setting off on your own. If you’re a seasoned traveler and you know exactly what you want to experience, consider the advantages of booking a short tour to take you there. A tour can take care of all of the UNKNOWNS associated with seeing what you want, and help you do more with your precious time. That leaves you with more time to have those wonderful “unexpected encounters” that can only happen while traveling leisurely without a plan.
