Hey there!:) I am Shiheng from Taipei...an enthusiastic road cyclist, an amateur violinist, a data analyst (SQL/GA4 geek) during the week, and of course, your English/Spanish/Chinese tour guide in Taipei!
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 countries in Europe and Asia, 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)! 🚴🏻♂️
Shi-Heng was awesome. We had a great hiking and food tasting experience with him. Highly recommended!
I 100% wholeheartedly recommend Shihheng’s tour, he will show you a hidden side of taipei that typically aren’t known to tourists. He is also very generous, genuinely kind and has a great sense of humor. Thank you again! This had been one of the best or actually the -best- guided tour i’ve been on!
We regularly use guru walks and so we have a comparison to say, Eric is the most prepared and unique nuggets guide we’ve had across multiple continents. Take this tour if you’re looking for an informative memorable experience with a little exercise.
Just a brilliant walk, a brilliant guide and a great way to see Taipei from a different perspective. If you are unsure trust me and do it you'll definitely not be disappointed
Eine ganze tolle Tour, richtig schöner Weg, sehr informativ. Shiheng hat sich super viel Mühe und tolle Tipps gegeben. Seine ganze Art war super begeistert und sympatisch. Der Ausblick und die Tempel waren richtig schön gewählt und auch die Stärkung danach hat Spaß gemacht. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der sich gerne bewegt, in der Natur ist und dabei spannende Informationen zu Kultur, Religion und Geschichte Taiwans hören möchte. Toll auch, dass die Tour so klein war und Shiheng auf alle unsere Fragen eingehen konnte. Vielen Dank für die klasse Tour, ich hab sie sehr genossen!!!
