Vincent WS – Canada26 November 2023 – Verified booking
Edison Tours offered an excellent 5 day tour of Taiwan. Our initial contqct with MIke Lo assured us that we made the right choice. He was responsive and informative. We enjoyed this world class tour guided by Alan Chou. If there should be a world wide competition of tour guides, we are certain he will win the 1st place championship. From his presentations, we learnt about Taiwan's geography, history, geological structure, agriculture, culture, artists. Most important of all, the best restaurants and local dishes. The 5 star hotels were impressive. Mr. Alan Chou was most organized. He gave us the keys to our assigned hotel rooms. He spared us the inconvenience of showing our passports and lining up for our room keys! He was energetic. He climbed the high mountain with us. Joined us in ascending the winding staircase to the top of the pagoda. Other guides would have pointed to the attractions and said "see you later". The driver was safe. We enjoyed this memorable tour. Highly recommend.

GetYourGuide traveler – Thailand22 November 2023 – Verified booking
I took this tour to get an overview of Taiwan. The itinerary was very good it covered the west, south and east coasts. The hotels were of a very high standard such as Silks Place Taroko. The guide Michael had a constant, entertaining commentary about what we were going to see, the culture of Taiwan and for the more active, walks during our stops. Each day was better than the previous one. The climax was Taroko National Park. A minor criticism is that the departure from the meeting point at The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei was a bit chaotic - there were 3 buses just for Eddison tour. The 90 guests were milling around trying to find where the tour guides and buses were. A suggestion is that a large sign with an Eddison rep should be posted in the hotel lobby whose only job is to organise tour guests. Name badges could be useful for the guests as well. All in all a fantastic tour, it did more than give me an overview. Good quality, good value!

A fantastiic 5 day tour. A brilliant guide, Alam Chou, who was knowledgable. entertaining, funny, gregarios and with a wonerful grasp of English. The accommodation on all 4 nights was brilliant. Everyday had numerous highlights but Sun Mòn Lake and Taroko National Park were highlights. The bus driver, too, did a brilliant job.
