She communicated with me the day before, and when we arrived at the Port sooner than expected, she accommodated us by meeting with us earlier than our scheduled time. She took us to incredible sites all while giving us interesting and useful insights. We never felt rushed as we enjoyed a cocktail by a waterfront bar, and I felt like it was a perfectly timed tour, leaving us filled with information and not overwhelmed. The tuk tuk was a fun and great way to see all sites, too!!”
