I'd originally booked with him as I was travelling solo and he said in his ad he was willing to take photos. I expected other people to be there but it was was just me....what a bonus!! We drove around LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood, with Daniel pointing out extremely interesting facts everywhere we went. We stopped for coffee and donuts at the Farmers Market, so totally relaxing.
