Dai was the absolute best tour guide we could imagine. He whizzed us around the Metro with ease, we saw everything we wanted and more. He is very knowledgeable, fun and great to be around. It would have taken us a week to see what he showed us in 8hrs. It was a great pace, we didn’t feel rushed. It was a 10/10 experience. Thanks so much Dai.
