To build a visitor-friendly international tourism environment, Tainan's Tourism Bureau recruits civic professionals as English-speaking volunteer guides, offering free walking tours through the city's historic streets. The tours have garnered outstanding reviews for guide expertise and warmth — generating strong word-of-mouth that draws independent travelers from around the world. Since launch, over 1,000 international visitors have been served, effectively elevating Tainan's global image as a welcoming destination.
Mayor Huang Wei-che said Tainan, as Taiwan's historical and cultural birthplace with its rich heritage, dazzling street food, and natural scenery, has repeatedly earned international media recognition as a top travel destination. Enthusiastic volunteer guides give international visitors a deep, personal experience of Tainan's culture and history — and the warmth of its people — creating unforgettable travel memories.
Bureau Director Lin Kuo-hua said the long-standing English city walking tour service has become a hallmark of Tainan tourism. Volunteers — including English teachers, certified international tour leaders, foreign language specialists, and other Tainan enthusiasts — contribute their leisure time to guide visitors and serve as unofficial cultural ambassadors. Word-of-mouth from satisfied travelers continues to attract more international visitors.
The Tainan Walking Tour operates on an online reservation system, primarily for international visitors. Routes weave through local street markets and historic heritage sites, led by volunteer guides in small groups of 1–5 for approximately 2 hours per session — ensuring quality. Route details, meeting points, and session schedules are all posted on the English version of the Tainan Tourism website. International visitors are warmly invited to book online and discover Tainan's captivating charm in depth.
