Kathy W.2025-03-12 Our trip turned out to be a great success. Many thanks to our tour guide Christine for her great service and patience. A couple of our friends got separated into another tour due to the coordination issues caused by the travel agency, although we all booked for one group tour. Christine had to drive extra miles to get our friends together with us finally. We truly appreciate her great efforts to satisfy her customers. Mahalo Christine!
