Taiwan Tour Planning Guide
Travel in Taiwan has evolved beyond simply visiting famous sights. More travellers today are looking for experiences that reflect their interests, travel style and the people they are travelling with.
A family may want theme parks, fruit picking and hands-on activities. Repeat visitors may want to explore a different side of Taiwan. A multigeneration family may want different activities for grandparents and grandchildren. Others may prefer a combination of private touring, rail journeys and time to explore independently.
Taiwan Free and Easy Travel has specialised in designing customised Taiwan journeys for Singapore travellers for more than a decade. This guide brings together our experience in custom Taiwan tours, private Taiwan tours, family travel, experiential travel and personalised Taiwan travel design.
Custom Taiwan Tours: Designed Around the Traveller
A custom Taiwan tour should be more than a standard itinerary with a few attractions changed.
Different travellers can visit Taiwan for the same number of days and require completely different itineraries.
A family with young children may prioritise theme parks and hands-on activities. Repeat visitors may want to avoid places they have already visited. A couple may prefer food, nature and local experiences, while a multigeneration family may need an itinerary that accommodates three generations.
This is why our customised Taiwan tours begin with the travellers rather than a predetermined route.
We look at who is travelling, their interests, previous visits to Taiwan, preferred travel style and what they want from the holiday before designing the journey.
The result may be an itinerary focused heavily on experiences, a more traditional sightseeing journey, a combination of both, or something entirely different.
Experiential Taiwan Tours
More travellers today are looking beyond sightseeing and want experiences that allow them to interact with the destination.
Depending on the travellers, we may incorporate fruit picking, farm visits, flower gardens, nature parks, baking, craft and toy-painting workshops, hot springs and other seasonal or hands-on experiences into a customised Taiwan tour.
Local accommodation can also form part of the experience. In the countryside, a carefully selected minsu can offer a different way to experience Taiwan, particularly for families looking beyond conventional city hotels.
The experiences selected depend on the interests of the travellers rather than a standard list of activities. Some may want an itinerary rich in hands-on experiences, while others prefer to combine them with sightseeing, food, nature or time to explore independently.
Taiwan Family Tours & Our Signature Kids-Friendly Tours
Taiwan Free and Easy Travel has been designing our Signature Kids-Friendly Taiwan Tours for more than a decade.
Some families come to us wanting a Taiwan holiday centred almost entirely around theme parks. Others have children who love animals, so we may build the journey around farms, animal encounters and nature. Some prefer a wider variety, combining sightseeing with fruit picking, hands-on workshops, outdoor experiences and activities for the children.
Accommodation can be part of the fun too, including kids-themed rooms and family-friendly stays where appropriate.
Over the years, we have designed many different variations of our kids-friendly tours according to the children’s ages, interests and what the family wants to experience together.
Our Signature Kids-Friendly Tour is therefore not a fixed itinerary. Each tailored Taiwan itinerary for families is designed around the children’s ages, interests and what the family wants to experience together.
Multigeneration Taiwan Tours: One Group, Two Itineraries
Multigeneration families often have very different interests within the same travelling group.
The children and parents may want to spend a day at a theme park, while the grandparents would rather go sightseeing. Instead of making everyone follow the same programme, we can design one group with two itineraries for part of the journey.
The younger family members can enjoy their activities while the grandparents have their own private sightseeing programme, with everyone meeting again later.
Everyone is still travelling together. They simply do not have to do everything together.
Private Taiwan Tours: Private Transport, Rail & Slow Travel
A customised private Taiwan tour does not have to mean travelling everywhere by private vehicle.
Depending on the journey, we can combine private transport, Taiwan’s rail network and free-and-easy travel within the same itinerary.
Private transport works well for places that are less convenient to reach independently, while Taiwan’s railways can become part of the travel experience itself. Free-and-easy time can also be incorporated for travellers who enjoy exploring independently.
