Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Request a Specific Guide or Driver for My Tour?
We wish we could request a specific guide or driver, but unfortunately, it’s not possible – the tour operator assigns them based on availability, so we’ll just have to roll with it and hope for the best.
Are There Any Additional Fees for Special Requests?
We’re glad you asked! For special requests, we usually don’t charge extra, but it depends on what you need – like infant seats or accommodations. We’ll let you know upfront if there’s an additional fee.
Can I Bring My Pet With Me on the Tour?
We’re not sure about bringing pets on the tour, as there’s no mention of it in the details. We’d recommend checking with the tour operator directly to see if they can accommodate our furry friends.
Is Smoking Allowed in the Vehicle?
"We’re glad you asked! Smoking is a no-go for us, and we don’t allow it in our vehicle to ensure a comfortable ride for everyone. We prioritize cleanliness and a smoke-free environment."
Can I Request a Refund if I Get Sick on the Day of the Tour?
Unfortunately, we can’t request a refund if we get sick on the tour day – the cancellation policy is clear that it’s non-refundable and can’t be changed for any reason, so we’re stuck with the payment.
