The service is essentially private, hourly transportation: you arrange a pick‑up, a driver in a luxury SUV takes your party point‑to‑point, and the booking is billed by the hour. Options include multi‑hour blocks and longer day charters; tastings and restaurant reservations are not included in the hourly fee and should be arranged by the guest in advance.
