Pickup

I will pick you up at your hotel or AirBNB or a pre-determined agreed upon location and return you when the tour is done. My Toyota Highlander seats 4 passengers comfortably but can accommodate 6 with the backseat, although it is a little tight and harder to get into, but it's perfect for smaller adults or kids. If more than 6 are desired, we can rent a van for up to 12 or 15 at an extra cost. Typically they run $500-$600. Reach out if that's an interest.
