This means you are in full control of your trip including driving. You will have a rental car (uncluded in the package) to get you around. The vehicle size varies according to preference and/or group size. Self-guided is aimed at singles, couples and groups of up to 8 people.
Our job is to organise most things for you in advance saving you a lot of time, stress and money.

There is usually considerable flexible time at each destination enabling you to relax and enjoy the location and to do things spontaneously.
