Fantastic experience! - We didn‘t really know what to expect at first but it turned into an incredible fun day! The tour guide Eva was super fun and friendly and took pictures the whole day for us, showed us around and told us interesting facts about different locations. We made dolls out of socks, took pictures on different locations with them, saw how noodles are made, tasted those noodles, helped planting tea trees and had a fantastic tea testing. Many thanks to Eva and Vicky who made this day unforgettable! :)

Taiwan is beautiful and we enjoyed this new company! - We asked for a tea tour and a visit to Shifen Old Street. Our driver was Danny. He spoke very little English, but was a good and dedicated man. Traffic was tough because of it being New Years and he took some wrong turns but we eventually got to the tea plantation. It was a truly authentic tea experience. Non-touristy. We then went to Shifen Old Street and lit the prayer lantern and shopped. My family loved this. Although Danny didn't speak much English, he took many photos and sent us a video that night of all the photos combined! Huge shout-out to Danny!

Expensive day trip - Driver came to pick us up without knowing the programmes we paid for. This includes tea plantation visit , meeting tea master , noodle making and special tea noodle lunch. Supposed to have village walk , but driver said no car park space around to stop car. We had to contact tripadvisor coordinator to sort it out . Lunch was miserable , expected 4 of us to share a small plate of noodle. We said that the lunch were for 4 of us and not one, then only the driver ordered more noodles and chicken soup for us. Trying to cut and stinge on the cost. Cost us USD $440 for 4 . On the whole, meeting tea master and drinking tea was interesting and educational. Noodle making was interesting as well. Supposed to be 8 hours tour , but we finished in 7 hrs, 1 hr ahead of time and driver happy as he earn an extra hour free. Note driver drives too fast not to our liking and safety. And he drives with one hand with the other hand gesturing away as he talked. Told him to keep quiet over the curve and bends in the mountain roads. Need to watch out for him as he drove. Expensive educational tour.
