Shane was the ultimate host as he navigated me safely and with such warmth through the city on his motorbike. He showed me some wonderful sights and was so knowledgeable. We ate some lovely food and it was like a date in the city. He made me feel so comfortable and I loved every minute. Most definitely recommend.
