Durante 3 días, Cristian me ha acompañado a visitar las zonas más bonitas e interesantes de la ciudad y alrededores.
Es una persona encantadora y cultivada.
Inquieto e interesado por la cultura de Taiwán y de otros países, las visitas con Cris son muy amenas, porqué mientras vas conociendo los distintos lugares que te enseña, te va introduciendo en la cultura, costumbres e historia del país, donde hace 10 años decidió emprender la bonita aventura de vivir y trabajar.
En un “plis”, Cris se convierte en ese amigo/guía que te gustaría tener en cualquier parte del mundo.
Te enseña, te acompaña, te ayuda, te cuenta..
Tengo por costumbre visitar las ciudades acompañada por un guia.
Creo que es la mejor manera para conocer una ciudad, un país, sus costumbres y a sus gentes, pero jamás me había sentido tan a gusto y tan bien informada como con Cristian!
Thank you very much Cristian!
We will never forget you!
Espero que algún día ens retrobem a la nostra ciutat comptal!
Una abraçada immensa!

a hike to remember - cristian was an amazing tour guide who took the time to walk us through what we needed for the hike the day before. he was also very reassuring as... read more this was our 1st hike and we were thankful for the info he provided prior to the hike. the route that he took us on was indeed very scenic and it is apparent he has thought through and come up with the best way for hikers to take it easy but still go all the way to the top.
given the very sudden closure of the suspension bridge, cristian was able to make changes and adapt to all the changing circumstances that allowed us to make it all the way to the top in the time he said we would. 🙂
he is also very knowledgeable about all the various other hikes in taiwan and we are very much looking forward to joining him on another hike of alishan should we return to taiwan.

I was researching how to do a hiking at Yangmingshan when I chance upon HolaTaipei. Communication on email was clear and smooth, Cristian prepared us on the items to bring... read more and recommended the route according to our experience.
On the actual day, Cristian reached our hotel on time and took us to another route instead of the one we discussed a week ago. He considered the weather and terrain conditions and made calculated decision. He also planned the route in such a way that it’s easier to go up from one end and come down on the other end.
During the hike, Cristian would share with us information not just about Yangminshan but also on Taipei and even research for us the places we wanted to go. We had a few stops to take some breaks and he also took nice photos and video for us!
It’s a good choice to contact HoloTaipei, Cristian is the right person to go hiking with. We appreciate his effort in making the experience wonderful.
