What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Pickup begins approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled tour start time. Guests are requested to wait in the main hotel lobby or at the primary entrance so the guide or driver can locate them easily. Upon arrival, the guide will verify the booking by confirming the guest’s name with the hotel team before proceeding. At the end of the tour, guests will be returned to the same location where they were originally picked up.
Guests are asked to provide their hotel name, address, and a contact number at least 24 hours in advance. This allows our guide and driver to coordinate directly with the hotel to ensure a smooth pickup process.
