IMPORTANT INFORMATION
My car is a 7-seater SUV and can accommodate 6 passengers (plus me as the driver guide). For tours, I recommend a total of 4 adults and 2 more persons up to 1.70 meters tall in the 2 back seats. For more than 4 adults over 1.70 meters, I rent a van with a driver (at an extra cost), so that the tour is extremely comfortable for everyone.
