What Kind Of Vehicles Do You Use?

We operate different vehicles for various sized groups. We only offer private tours so any remaining seats will be left empty no matter which vehicle we are in. For groups of 6 guests or fewer we like to use our 8-passenger Honda Odyssey minivan. It’s a very comfortable ride. Spacious yet small enough to allow for an intimate experience. We also have a 10-passenger & 15-passenger Ford Transit touring van. Both have lots of space and are very comfortable.
