Our driver Danny was brilliant. If he didn't know he immediately looked it up. He was kind, smart and fun. He took pictures for us and then shared them with us. He even went out of his to come back and take us to the airport the next day. On the day of our trip he had large umbrellas and water waiting for us in the vehicle. Very pleased with Danny, highly recommend his services.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we started our tour late, Danny our driver was very understanding, he was also very knowledgeable about New Edinburgh and Old Edinburgh, however our American friends who we booked the tour for were rude and not interested. My husband and I would do the tour again as it was interesting and engaging. A big thank you to Danny for his patience. Would definitely recommend the tour.
