“Paew was a wonderful tour guide! My girlfriend and I were the only ones on the tour and Paew personalised the tour to our tastes and my nut allergy, whilst also being able to try many different foods and stepping outside of our comfort zones. The tour also incorporated some history of Chinatown and Paew was great at answering all of our questions. Definitely recommend this tour as we would have never tried all these foods without Paew’s recommendations. Thank you Paew!”
