We were greeted with Sam who was fantastic and we covered alot of grounds today. Showing us the tourists landmarks along with local secrets. It was well planned, very informative and Sam was knowledgeable in all areas. I would HIGHLY recommend Sam as your native tour guide. Thank you very much, The Tan family

We visited sites that we would not have found yourselves. We described ourselves, our interests and the places we had already visited and he offered us an itinerary to suit. The beauty and tranquility of a classic garden and the mayhem of a very popular Budist shrine. He was very knowledgeable and explained the differences between our cultures. Overall a great contribution to our visit.
