The three routes you'll learn
🚶ROUTE 1
Old-town walking tour
Taichung Station, the Green River and Zhongshan Road. Barely 400 metres as the crow flies, yet it takes two unhurried hours, because every corner has a story. You learn how to tell them.
📅 29–30 May full days | 12 & 19 Jun half days
🏮ROUTE 2
Nantun Old Street mini tour
Taichung's first street: Litoudian, Wanhe Temple, a century-old cake shop and jute-leaf food culture. Learn to bring an old street to life in about an hour.
📅 Sat 4 Sep 14:00–16:00 · Wen-ling
🚲ROUTE 3
Cycling food tour
A bike links the old town's markets, old buildings and lane-side food into one route. Learn to lead a group safely, and to talk while everyone eats.

How is this different from the English class?＋
This one is taught in Mandarin and adds Nantun Old Street (2 hours) and a cycling food tour (4 hours) to the old town. The English class focuses on guiding the old-town route in English for international travellers.
Do I need a licence, an English test or a history background?＋
None of them. No age limit; the interview decides. The course is built for people from every walk of life: over 350 people from more than 80 trades have taken it in ten years.
How much does it cost?＋
The full three-route course is NT$13,999 each in 2027 (normally NT$19,999). The three-hour taster is NT$999 each and is credited in full if you join.
Can the dates change?＋
