“Kevin was a fantastic tour guide! We just did the Tea Tour and it was one of the best guided tours I have ever done. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and obviously loves what he is doing. He took so many lovely photos for us, took us to beautiful spots, we ate delicious food, learned sooo much about tea. I love museums and have been to many around the world and the tea museum has become one of my favorites. If you love tea and beautiful nature this tour is a must in Taiwan.”
