Klook's Day Tour: Yehliu, Jiufen, and Shifen Day Tour

Here:  https://www.klook.com/activity/13827-yehliu-jiufen-shifen-tour-pastry-making-taipei/ Klook's Day Tour of Yehliu, Jiufen, and Shifen (NT 699 or ~23 USD) Please take  note of these things : This was really very packed agenda and  NOT   meant for old and slow people.  We didn't get to see much since we only had an hour or less per area. And that is considering that we are really walking really fast etc. Weekends:  I would advise  against  taking this on weekends, since tour buses can't go to Jiufen on Sat and Sundays and that means extra time to transfer to a commuter bus and pay 15 NT one-way.  This also means that this may cut on your time to go around Jiufen.  We didn't even get to the end of Jiufen and see the famous tea house.  We were supposed to have 100 minutes there but we ended up like having 50 minutes. This was not enough, going thru that small street in Jiufen especially when it is crowded is really hard. Also, weekends seem to be OVERCROW
