Your booking covers deluxe transportation, an English-speaking driver/guide, and all tolls, parking, petrol, and taxes—making the experience seamless and hassle-free. The live commentary enriches your understanding of each destination, adding context to the stunning views.

However, food and drinks are not included, so consider bringing snacks or planning to purchase at each stop.
