Lost in the crowd

Whoever was visiting lost us in the chinatown crowd. It’s unacceptable to lead a rush tour without worrying about the group following.

Operator response

We are sorry you lost the guide. The Christmas crowds can be daunting.

Had a great time doing the Christmas lights and bites tour with Paddy

Paddy was great, he made it interesting and fun. I’m going to tell my friends to book with him. We visited many interesting places and Paddy had all the back stories. The tour was about 3 hours and I’m not used to walking that much but Paddy made really interesting and fun
