It was a full and enriching day tour. The guide/driver arrived on time at the pick-up location and drove very safely and steadily. The Harry Potter exhibition hall in the Ten Drum Cultural Park was excellent, and the approximately 40-minute drum performance is not to be missed. Luckily, the weather was great that day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the salt fields. The last stop was Dadong Night Market, where everyone could eat their fill before heading back.

We had a great morning with Annie and would definitely recommend. This was a great way to explore the city and try some local food favorites. There were only two of us on the tour, which was also great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure we were getting the most out of the experience. Thank you
