    What you'll do

    Start your journey by savoring the iconic Pork Bun with a delightful surprise—savory soup encased within its delicate folds. This rich, aromatic treat is sure to win your heart just before we enter the lively serpentine lanes of Shida Night Market.
    From there, your guide will introduce you to local favorites like Wet tofu skin and Spring Onion bacon roll, grilled to perfection right before your eyes.
    Get ready for a crispy twist with Taiwanese Fried Chicken at one of the best places for that in Taiwan.
    Wander through Taipei’s bustling streets, making your way to the University district and vibrant Yongkang Street.
    This area is a food lover’s paradise, offering a mix of local street eats and international delights: one of the best Bubble Teas ever will also be waiting for you here.
    No visit to Taipei is complete without tasting Lu Rou Fan, the locals’ beloved braised pork rice dish.
    As you savor its rich and savory flavor, your guide will share the secrets behind its preparation and why it holds a special place in Taiwanese hearts.
    Experience a culinary gem from Tainan - some luscious Meatballs(which also contain shrimps!), immersed in a special sauce that celebrates the diverse culinary traditions of Taiwan: you might want to see them all after this.
    Sink your teeth into a Taiwanese Scallion Pancake, layered with egg and aromatic basil, a fragrant bite you’ll reminisce long after the tour ends.
    For a sweet finale, enjoy Dou Hua 豆花, the traditional Tofu Pudding served in its classic form with tapioca pearls, jelly and brown sugar.
    And, of course, there’s always our Secret Dish, a delightful surprise that you’ll discover on the spot and can only be tasted in Taiwan!

    You can always tell our guides of any food allergies or special dietary requirements. We will do our best, however most of our food stops preparing only one dish, so vegetarians cannot be accommodated at this time. If you have any concerns, feel free to email us attaipei@secrettours before booking.

    I am traveling with my family, is the tour ok for infants/children?

    +

    Children are quite welcome, however it is a long walk and you may choose to find a babysitter at your hotel. It is free for any child 2 years or under. We can give them non-alcoholic drinks and you are free to enjoy the tour with your entire family of all ages.

    I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?

    Just inform our guide before your tour starts if you have any special request. During the tasting, water is available just ask your guide as you need more.

    There is a lot of food on this tour and we recommend a light or no breakfast. As we travel you get many delicious treats that comprise a meal with fruit and sweets. You will not be hungry after the tour although please do tell us if we can get something more.

    Where do I add my discount voucher?

    +

    Voucher

    I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

    +

    Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

    Is there a lot of walking?

    +

    To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 32 minutes of walking, but it is not too difficult and is broken up between food stops. The guide walks at the pace of the tour members, you will never be rushed. There are no stairs on the tour or hills.

    How many people max are on this tour?

    +

    We take 10 people maximum. If you are more than 10 people, please do not hesitate to email us and we will try to see if we can accommodate.

    I cannot find a way to print the confirmation. Is it OK if I have it on my phone?

    +

    You do not have to print your voucher. A confirmation on your phone will be fine!

    If I purchase a voucher as a gift, or am given a voucher how long is it valid for?

    +

    All of our vouchers expire one year from the date of purchase.

    Where does your food come from?

    +

    Top - quality, fresh and local! From Vendors and restaurants. All vendors are carefully regulated so that the food will be safe to eat.

    What if it rains or I change my plans?

    +

    Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Chiang Mai. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

    Can I pay the tour in cash?

    +

    You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

    Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?

    +

    The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

    Foreign Transaction Fees

    +

    A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
