I had an amazing private tour with Mr. Ronnie Ranjit! Even though I booked last minute, he was right on time for pick up. He's been in the hospitality industry for 20 years, so you can imagine how knowledgeable he is. He shared so many interesting stories and information throughout the tour. What I loved the most was Mr. Ronnie Ranjit's recommendations for local hidden gem restaurants. These places were a hit among the locals, and I wouldn't have discovered them without his guidance. I really appreciated his kindness in sharing these insider tips. I can't thank Mr. Ronnie Ranjit enough for making my tour so memorable. If you're looking for a friendly and experienced guide, I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
