“Tea Plantation Half Day Trip”

My family and I had a great half day trip with David where he took us to the tea plantations and the tea museum. He was very informative and we learnt so much from David about Taiwanese culture and tea. Further he showed us around the city- which was a great way to see the sights and local highlights. We would highly recommend him and would definitely love to do a tour with David again around Taipei! Thank you again to David for making our trip so memorable.

Dear friends; Word of mouth is the best marketing. We appreciate your information and we keep trying our best to friends visiting this small island called Formosa.
