5.00Andrew was a delight! He was so excited to share his great city. Believe him when he says to "come hungry"! We ate such wonderful foods and enjoyed delicious drinks. He has built a good working relationship with the establishments we visited so the personalized service was great. He shared many insights into the District. The tour was an excellent way to spend the day and see a side of Kelowna we would have otherwise missed.
