Show moreKathy was thoughtful to our interests and captured experiences that were more than superficial as would be mentioned on a bus tour. The tea tasting in China Town and visiting the Buddhist Temple were both experiences we would not have known to seek out. Telegragh Hill and North Beach were terrific. Kathy also went an hour and half beyond our appointment. It was ex ellent.
