Visiting from another country?

Travellers from Germany, France, the Netherlands, Russia, China, the United States and Canada can use the same route, transfer and cost guides. Tell us your local arrival time, travel dates, passenger and luggage numbers, and preferred language when you enquire. Driver language availability must be checked before booking.

Our current website and written planning information are in English. USD guide prices are for the whole vehicle; they are not prices in euros, Canadian or Australian dollars, or your home currency. Confirm the final payment currency and check conversion fees with your payment provider.

If you are visiting relatives as well as sightseeing, tell us which days need transport. For a first visit, compare the overnight bases before selecting attractions. Your passport and transit route determine which official entry information you need to check.

Ask about your dates and route
