Transport and Logistics
The tour starts at Starbucks Chinatown Point, a central location with easy access via public transit or taxi.

Possible Drawbacks or Considerations
While most reviews are glowing, it’s worth noting that since the itinerary is flexible, you might not see every listed stop if your interests lie elsewhere. This is a positive for those who want a tailored experience but could be a drawback if you had specific sights in mind. Also, the tour excludes additional expenses like attraction tickets or extra drinks, so budget accordingly.
