What's Included
Meeting and pickup
If the radius is beyond 1km from the city centre, so beyond the historical centre ( ie Van der Valk, NH Hotel, Novotel), the pickup can be done for an extra 20 euros for max 4 people.
The meeting point is basically in front of the central railway station. This is ideal if you are coming by train or bus as trains and buses stop over there. Alternatively, you can indicate the name of your hotel or another meeting point. If you are coming by car, we can meet at the parking place.
