I contacted Ben as I needed some way for my 77 year old mother to go from a quarantine hotel to the South Coast as she had to return from overseas alone. From the start he was friendly and open to the idea of this unusual "tour". My mother found him to be very cheerful, a good driver and tour guide, finding her a lovely restaurant with a view. It was the happy and hassle free way to return home. We would definitely contact Ben again.
