Leo was enthusiastic and engaging. He did a good job caring for the needs of the large group and answered their questions. We were appreciative of his knowledge of the history of Taiwan and the events in 1947 to current. He attempted to give view of Native Taiwanese vs Republic of Chinese Taiwanese.

“Great Tour, only a bit too history-oriented”
I had a lot of fun with our group and our guide Ale. Great vibes and a lot of fun energy from her side and I liked the initial phase where people introduce themselves because it made socializing way easier!
Though, I though the content of the tour was a bit too history-oriented and very detailed.
Maybe you guys could focus a bit more on the landmarks that are part of the visit and add CKS memorial hall to the route.

The host was very imprecise in those topics that I knew about, I can imagine it was also for the ones new to me. Also, kept saying "the white powers" which kinda feels like an attack on white people, since that's the sentence racists used to use
