SHAN SHAW is a legend
SHAN SHAW is a legend. Incredibly patient and understanding to meet my detailed specific needs and constant mind changing. This booking process was a 6 STAR experience, especially considering I was dealing with a number of different agents. SHAN was a "no brainer" in meeting my every need.
