The driver guide will be an experienced driver and battlefield tour guide. You will be issued with a personalized itinerary, information sheets and maps to assist you during your tour. The vehicle is air conditioned with ample leg room, and will either collect you from your home or from a pre-arranged rendezvous point and transport you to your selected destination.
