“Matt was fantastic! We learned a lot about the area and he safely got us from place to place and was very clear about when/where to return (5 stars to the fellow passengers for all being on time for all the different spots). The best part about all of it was not having to worry about parking and any logistics. We were free to explore and Matt took care of the rest. Lovely!!!”
