Hi/Hola/Xin chào!😀 I am Shiheng from Taipei...a data programmer (SQL/Python geek), an amateur triathlete, a hobby violinist, and your English/Spanish/Chinese tour guide in Taipei! Having studied, lived, and worked in 7 countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, I am now back to the lovely island state where I call home...Taiwan!😊
I started the journey as a part-time tour guide outside regular office hours since 2017. Right after studying in Spain, Denmark, and Slovenia for my master's degree and joining free walking tours in 20 European countries myself, I felt that walking tour is a great way to share my knowledge about the history, nature, and culture of Taiwan with foreign travelers like you, and also for me to learn more about your own culture. This is exactly why although I do NOT make a living out of walking tours - unlike most tour guides you meet in touristy countries - I still obtained the official tour guide license and spend my weekends with travelers from all around the world. It's simply my passion!
I speak native Chinese (Mandarin) and Taiwanese, kind of master English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and also know a bit of German and Catalan. As I have worked and studied in several European and Asian countries, my friends are mostly from Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. So, if you happen to be from these regions, I am pretty sure that you will understand the Taiwanese culture more easily from the stories I prepare for you. So far, I have accompanied 2,000+ international travelers from 40+ countries to explore Taipei/New Taipei/Keelung, and I look forward to seeing you as well 😀
Are you a foodie, nature lover, or culture explorer? If so, I am exactly your ideal go-to person! Book a tour with me or send me a private message to personalize your itinerary (especially if you are passionate about hiking, cycling, and food)! 🚴🏻♂️
De verdad de los mejores tours que he tomado, súper entretenido, divertido, los lugares increíbles y de verdad el mejor tour!!!! Tomenlo si pueden!!!
I have done various tours with Guruwalk but this one was absolutely the best! Shiheng is professional and entertaining, very well prepared and willing to share a lot of information about the history, culture, food, customs and traditions of Taiwan. The hike was in a beautiful area, with stunning views of nature, waterfalls and temples. While in the temples, we practised some local rituals, took lovely photos and learnt about the differences between Buddhism and Daoism. The tour ended in a local café where we had Oolong tea and shared some pancakes. If you like walking and nature as well as learning about history and culture, this tour is highly recommended.
Great experience , lots of sights, plenty of information, perfectly understandable. Would book again without hesitation and totally recommend. Basic level of fitness also recommended
Un excelente guía! De verdad es una persona muy culta y muy amable. Me encanto cada parte del tour y sin duda Sergio sabe mucho sobre hiking, templos y Taipei. Sin pensarlo volvería hacer este tour nuevamente con el 👌🏻 Igual su español es excelente 😁
Sergio es un guía excelente. Todo ha sido perfecto, habla español fluido, con mucha información. Además de derrochar simpatía, nos llevamos una impresión de Taipei muy positiva gracias a él. Atento y servicial, no puedo tener más que agradecimientos hacia el.
