My family and I did this tour in 2 groups over 2 nights. Both Nina and Ben were fantastic tour guides - they were friendly and knowledgeable and it an experience we would 100% recommend. We couldn’t have navigated the night market without them because nothing was written in English! Loved every dish they gave us. Especially enjoyed the local feel of this night market - no other tourist in sight. Nina and Ben provided us with tips for other great things to do, see and eat in Taipei too. A must book tour for any food enthusiast wanting to experience real Taiwanese food!

There’s no showy cooking techniques or blazing flame cooked noodles, but there are delicacies here that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. With a Local Host by your side, eat your way around Taipei’s best kept secret and discover the dishes that the locals really eat.
