“If I could, I would rate this Tour a 10! It was Super Great! Kurt was very knowledgeable. Beyond the knowledge he made it fun! He knows how to interact with people of all ages. Not only can he show you how to take still pictures on your phone, he shows you how to take professional action videos also. We learned so much and about the Island too. And the Van was a comfortable ride too. I would definitely do the Oahu Photography Tour again and ask for Kurt!”

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. I would recommend Daniel 1000% if you're considering a tour....he is such a nice guy and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you…”

I loved all the stops but my favorite was the beach/lunch stop! Mac is HANDS DOWN gonna be my go to tour guide. If he’s hosting..I’m on it!!!”
