“We were visiting from Philadelphia，and Celest was our guide. She was energetic, informative and knowledgeable regarding the city and the sights. She was adamant about safety, and gave us a great lesson on how to ride the Segway, and what to look out for while we were sight seeing. My family and I had a lot of fun, and would recommend this one of a kind tour of the city. It is the BEST way to see it by covering lots of ground more than walking on foot.”
