5.00My two day tour was quite AMAZING! My guide, Alice, arrived both days at my hotel promptly on-time, was so friendly and professional. She arranged extra stops to the Olympic Stadium, post office and supermarket. This was money so well spent. I saw everything I was supposed to see and it was all done with a big smile! Thank you so much Alice! You did a FANTASTIC job! I'm flying back to NYC a happy man!
