Yes. Our daily Time Walk tours are completely free to join — they are tip-based, so you decide what the experience was worth at the end. Workshops, summer camps and some themed events are paid; their prices are shown clearly on the booking page.

The daily free old-town walking tour runs about 2 hours (weekdays 19:00; weekends 10:00, 13:30 and 16:30). Other themed routes list their own durations. Workshop and camp durations are listed on each event's page.

The meeting point differs by route. The old-town walking tour meets at the Visitor Center on the 2nd floor of Taichung Station, close to the ticket gates; the Feng Chia night market tour meets on the left side of the university's main gate (on your left as you face it); cycling and themed routes each have their own. Your confirmation email always includes a photo of the exact spot, a Google Maps link and your guide's contact — plus a short video showing how to find us on the old-town route.

Guided tours run in Mandarin and English — pick your language when you book. Japanese is available for private groups only, and there is no Korean-guided departure. If you would rather explore alone, the AI city treasure hunt is built in Mandarin, English, Japanese and Korean and starts whenever you like.

Families are welcome; kids aged 6+ tend to keep up with the 2-hour walking pace comfortably. For ages 9–15, consider our dedicated bilingual "Junior City Ambassadors" summer camp.

Light rain — yes, bring an umbrella and we walk on. For heavy rain or weather warnings, we email participants on the morning of the tour to reschedule or cancel; paid programmes are fully refunded if we cancel.
