Your group organizer will receive an email the day before your departure, with the driver’s contact details, vehicle plates and exact time of departure.

Please do not contact the driver until the day of departure. Should you need assistance prior, please message our Facebook Page.

If you have requested a different pick up, please coordinate with the driver directly on the date of departure for estimated time of arrival at the pick up point.

It will be the discretion of the driver, and you can coordinate with him the morning of your departure.
