If we don’t have your details at least 48 hours before your tour, a central meeting point will be assigned automatically by us. ✔️ Timing One day before your tour, you’ll receive an email or a message with your confirmed pick-up time and location. Pick-ups usually start 40–50 minutes before the official departure time. For the Sunset Tour, departure times are adjusted to match the sunset of the season. ✔️ Good to Know Once your pick-up is confirmed, it cannot be changed.
