“We had Steve as our tour guide and he really was fantastic! The positive energy and conversation was superb. We laughed so much! Steve also kept us informed of our activities, what to expect and when they were happening, plus Steve also helped translate so we didn't miss out on vital information. Steve was an excellent driver too. We felt so safe going around the city and we arrived to the boat ahead of time which meant we got first dibs on seats ! Front row seats, which was perfect for photos of the diamond bridge as well as the fireworks ! Thank you Steve!!!”
