Is the fare per person?
No, per vehicle and per duration. A van for seven therefore works out cheaper per person than an organised tour. The fare is confirmed before departure and includes the driver, fuel, the Île de Ré bridge toll and waiting time.
Does the driver act as a guide?
He drives, waits for you, advises on stops and timings, and knows the region. He is not a licensed tour guide: for guided visits of monuments, he drops you at the entrance and collects you at the exit.
Can we change the plan during the day?
Yes, that is the point of having a driver at your disposal. Only the agreed duration counts; if you extend it, the driver tells you the additional amount before continuing.
What is the minimum duration?
3 hours. Beyond that, half a day, a full day or several days.
How far do you go?
Île de Ré, Oléron, Marais Poitevin, Cognac, Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion are the most frequent. Any other destination on request.
Is the driver a guide?
He is not a licensed tour guide, but he knows the region, advises on stops and timings, and drops you in the right place. For a guided visit, we can put you in touch with a guide.
Can we go away for several days?
Yes. Two days between Cognac and Saint-Émilion, three days along the coast between Ré, Oléron and Royan: the quote covers the driver, the vehicle and travel expenses. Accommodation is at your expense, we are happy to advise.
