Peggy Choo
Had an awesome time with our recent Grand Train Tour Switzerland (5-15/10/22). While we had kind weather and good tour mates, it was most of all, a dedicated and efficient tour manager who made the difference. Darien Tang is totally professional, knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. His exceptional service started even before our tour did with his Watsapp contact. It was definitely not easy to lead a group of 31pax through public transport such as bus, boat and trains but Darien did it all well. Appreciate the verbal and Watsapp reminders on the tour, weather as well as places of interest and makan places nearby. Appreciate that he’s always contactable and his taking the extra mile for us. Thank you very much Darien for taking good care of us during the trip. From: Peggy & Sookie.
Cin Nee
