Our driver Matthew was...
Our driver Matthew was timely and extremely knowledgable. He was very clear on details and gave a nice little tour through the city on our return trip. Diamond Head was a little challenging for our group of 60+ year olds but definitely worth the “climb”. Most of the walkway was in good condition. Be prepared for many stairways. The view at the top made everything worthwhile as it is breathtaking.
