Request a Custom TourHow It Works
Our ‘Wait & Return’ Service
Our sightseeing service operates on a simple ‘Wait & Return’ model. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel, home, or cruise terminal, drives you to your chosen destination, and waits while you explore. When you’re ready, they drive you back — or on to the next stop on your itinerary.
This gives you complete flexibility without the stress of public transport timetables, rental car navigation, or parking. Your chauffeur can recommend local restaurants, suggest photo opportunities, and adjust the itinerary on the fly.
Available 24/7, pre-booked. We recommend 48 hours’ notice for sightseeing tours to ensure your preferred vehicle and chauffeur are available.
