Hi,
Your trip sounds fun !
I'm looking at signing up the "8D Taiwan Family Fun + Farmstay" package with Dynasty Travel myself.
I hope you can share with me your experience travelling with Dynasty Travel as this will be my first time using them (normally opt for Chan Bros).
1. Is the hotels acceptable ? They told me 3-4 stars local rating hotels.
2. What about the food ?
3. Anything you don't like about Dynasty Travel that I should take note ?
Thanks.
Hi Sean, I m Sorry for the very late reply.. I m not a very experience blogger..
1) Their hotel is acceptable.
2) Their food is Ok to me... Cos in Taiwan, i will still perfer to go night market for my meals.
3) Basically, there is nothing i don't like about Dynasty Travel. In fact, the tour guide is very open for suggestion. Anything you are not happy or need to make special arrangement.. they are very helpful...
I will still consider to book my next destination with them :)
