5.00Darryl was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable but not boring. We were traveling with our 3 daughters (ages 13, 11, 9), our nephew (16) and my mother (70). He never rushed us and was also a phenomenal photographer! He knew all the best places to get perfect angles for views! We even saw the changing of the guard!
