If you would like a private tour guide to accompany you between multiple locations and ride in the vehicle with your group, the guide will require an additional seat in the vehicle. Please make sure your selected vehicle has enough available seats for your group size plus the guide.
For groups requiring transport for more than 9 guests, please book in advance so we have enough time to confirm availability and arrange a suitable larger vehicle. We also have buses available for bigger groups.

For guests who would like cultural explanations and local insights, a private tour guide can be added as an optional upgrade.
Available options:

If you select the Tour Guide Upgrade or Other Language Guide Add-on, please book in advance so we have enough time to confirm availability and arrange your requested service.
Please note that the guide meeting time does not need to be the same as the vehicle pickup time. If you add a tour guide, you can choose the preferred guide start time after booking, while the vehicle service will follow the booked schedule and includes 10 hours of private transport.
