Awesome Tour Coordinator - Marvyn’s Paradise Tours was really awesome to work with. We did a tour with him almost everyday we were there. He was able to set up things for us to do even just hours before the time. We had no problems with his service whatsoever. The driver Shawn was always on-time, very well mannered, showed us what to do and drove well. We felt very safe and comfortable with him. We would definitely use Marvyn’s Paradise Tours again for all our tour guide needs.
