From Ken and Darcy Washington, USA - Driver Guide : Ben
Your stories and history lessons were timely and interesting, your intuition to allow Darcy and I to spend certain times with just the two of us and also your intuitive timing on when to involve yourself, coupled with your sense of humour, made the trip more like spending a day with a friend vs. a driver guided tour.
It is a talent to balance professionalism, comfort, flexibility and gentle guidance to ensure we got to see all we wanted to see (and change in the middle of the trip to make it even better) - all of this for a fair price. We are grateful and fortunate to meet you and wish you continued success.
Best of luck.
