About Us
TC Time Walk · 台中時空漫步
We are a local Taichung team who believe every alley carries a story worth hearing. Since 2016, we have been walking visitors through the city's historic old town — on foot, in conversation, in their own language.

What we do
- Free Daily English Walking Tours through Taichung's central district (中區) — historic buildings, traditional markets, and the working stories of local trades. Daily departures, free of charge, register online ahead of time.
- Bilingual Cultural Workshops: ceramics, calligraphy, traditional pastry, tea — led by local craftspeople, learning Taichung by making something with your hands.
- Summer Camps & Youth Programmes: "Little City Ambassadors" bilingual sustainability camp for ages 9–15 — kids explore the city in two languages and walk away with a learning portfolio certificate.
- Custom Programmes: tailor-made tours, team experiences and bilingual city courses for hotels, schools and companies.

How our guides grow
TC Time Walk isn't just a tour company — it's a school of city storytellers. Every guide starts at Stage 1 and advances through real-world practice, reflection and coach feedback:
- Stage 1–3 · Observe & apprentice: shadow senior coaches on routes, build narrative fundamentals
- Stage 4–6 · Solo guiding: confidently lead a single route, manage group dynamics
- Stage 7–9 · Cross-route facilitation: tailor itineraries for companies, schools and overseas agencies
- Stage 10+ · White-Light Coach: train others, design new routes, represent the team externally
