What travelers say.
★★★★★ 4.8/5 on Trustpilot from 50K+ reviews
Our driver did an amazing job navigating the roads, but went above and beyond to help us find a drugstore to replace my Dad's reading glasses! He knows the area very well and also has many great recommendations.
J. Aherrera
It was an extremely busy weekend and he went out of his way to accommodate our wishes. He was cordial, attentive and prompt.
Angela L.
The minivan was spacious for a family of 4 adults and Lalit is a safe driver. He did not rush us and gave us ample time. We enjoyed our trip.

Everything you need to know.
Is this a private sightseeing ride?
Yes. It's just your group, in a private car or minivan (depending on the number of passengers) with your own driver. No strangers and no fixed group schedule.
Will our driver tell us about the places we see?
Yes, in their own way. Your driver is a local, English-speaking professional, not a licensed guide, so expect stories, tips and restaurant ideas rather than a history lesson. Like seeing the city with a friend who lives there.
Can we change the stops?
Yes. Skip stops, stay longer or add places of your own, as long as it all fits in your booking's slot. Just tell your driver what you'd like before you set off.
How long do we get at each stop?
As long as you want. Get out, walk around, take photos or visit the landmark, then move on when you're ready. The only limit is the 10 hours overall.
We have special requirements. What should we do?
Add service animals, accessibility needs or oversized luggage to the booking notes so we can plan for them.
Can I cancel?
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before your pickup time.
