Private hire with driver

Hi there

We are looking for a private van and driver to transport 12 passengers from cruise port to Mendenhall and back. We would like someone to take us there, wait for a couple of hours and bring us back. I have so far seen Evergreen and have contacted them already for a quote, are there others people have used and can recommend?

many thanks
