Group sizes vary from 4-12, depending on demand, but whatever the group size, escorted by a driver guide.
At the start of every tour and break there is a designated “meeting point” with a ” Meet & Greet” service which is usually the first night hotel, not available on event only packages. The Hotels are primarily four and five-star, but sometimes because of the location of an event or attraction, it must be the best available option. Where a stopover of more than one night occurs, clients, if they so choose can spend the second day under their own arrangements.
