We had a fantastic time with Shu on the bar hopping tour. He was flexible to our schedule and group needs, and showed us a great time at the bars he selected. He also took many group photos on his camera and was kind enough to send them to us right after the tour. Of note: golden gai may not be able to seat large groups due to the small bar sizes.
