Our tour with Cristian was a great experience and though time in Dadaocheng was short Cristian showed us the best that this historic area had to offer. He was extremely solicitous and accommodated as many of our requests as possible. One of the members of our group had mobility issues and he assisted her whenever it was needed. We thoroughly enjoyed his food recommendations as well as the tea factory visit. His explanations about the rituals in the temple were engaging. We highly recommend Hola Taipei as their tours are immersive and interesting
