Hi/Hola/Xin chào!😀 I am Shiheng from Taipei...an enthusiastic road cyclist, an amateur violinist, a data analyst (SQL/GA4 geek) during the week...and 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)! 🚴🏻♂️
Great tour! There are a lot of stairs, but Sergio is great and notices when people need a break. He has so many little facts to share about the places you pass and is happy to answer any questions you may have. He also is happy to share suggestions about what to do after the tour. Overall a great tour, highly recommend.
Shih-heng was so kind and shared lots of historical knowledge. I especially enjoyed the tea house and the mountain view. Highly recommend!
It was our first time in Taiwan, and Shiheng offered us a great tour of the path! He was very informative and entertaining, and was very open to the many questions we had. For a first-timer in Taiwan, having a tour off the beaten path was a refreshing take on what it means to be in Taipei. Shiheng gave a perspective that is much appreciated: from nature and activities, to politics and the top restaurants and spots to go to. It means a lot to have someone with extended tourism expertise to get to know the city and the country! Looking forward to coming back. 😊
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!
