What a participant commented about the Harvest Town Day Tour:

"My husband and I took our parents and three children on tMs tour. The coach
driver, Mr Koh, and tour guide; Bridget, made us feel very safe, comfortable and
relaxed throughout the trip! Bridget knew a lot about all the places we visited! At.
first, I was afraid that my children would get tired of listening 1o all that
information. f felt extremely relieved when I realised that I was unduly worried!
Bridget was so humorous that all of us thoroughly enjoyed listening to her
commentaries! The meals were excellent and my children had fun trying all the
different types of fruits, some they had never seen before! We had a great timer
