This experience was a gift and it was an absolute pleasure working with Shanthuru to organize it. He was attentive, professional, timely, and flexible. He checked in both prior to the experience to make certain everything arranged properly and checking in after to make certain everything went according to plan. I highly recommend him as someone who provides excellence customer service.
