Our guide James was very knowledgeable and explained all the history of tea. The views of thousand island lake were very beautiful. After the museum we did a tea tasting. I only wish they would have told us at which exit of the train station to meet.

This was Ana amazing tour if you like tea, nature and beautiful views. The tour was very enjoyable and our guide Kiara was very knowledgeable. The visit to the museum is totally worth it and so is the tea ceremony. The only thing I wish we had time to stop for snack but that’s mostly since I didn’t plan. Make sure to bring a snack.
