Question 25

What if I need more time at the stop on the day?

Accepted Answer

We understand that sometimes it’s hard to tear yourself away from your sightseeing stop. If you find you’d like extra time, please make arrangements with your driver. There will be an hourly fee based on the country in which you are traveling. While they’ll do their best to accommodate, sometimes their schedule won’t allow for them to stay longer.

Question 26

Can I bring extra/unplanned passengers or luggage if my vehicle has space?

Accepted Answer

Your vehicle is assigned based on the number of passengers and luggage selected during booking. Even if a van can seat 7, booking for 5 means the vehicle is planned for that number, and extra space is not guaranteed. Changes depend on availability—you’re welcome to ask, and we’ll check, but we can’t guarantee adjustments within 36 hours of your trip.!

Question 27

What types of wheelchairs can be accommodated?

Accepted Answer

Our vehicles can only accommodate foldable wheelchairs, with size limitations depending on luggage. Sedan: up to 2 passengers + standard luggage + 1 foldable wheelchair. MPV: up to 3 passengers + standard luggage + 1 foldable wheelchair. Van: up to 6 passengers + standard luggage + 1 foldable wheelchair.
