Guest testimonials
Dai's tours are fun, informative and well organised. Lots of laughs with craft. It doesn't matter if you haven't done a particular craft before as the workshop instructors explain everything very well. Just go, you won't regret it
I have done Dai's tours 6 times: There was no highlights! Everything was highlight!
I did this trip a couple of years ago, it was great. Learnt so much, saw the beautiful red maples 🥰 And Dai is a wonderful host. Highly recommend this trip. I'm off next March to do another trip with Dai - Cherry Blossoms & some more learning, really looking forward to it.
