Private transport or a shared coach?
Choose private transport for your own party, or a shared coach if a fixed itinerary suits you. Neither can promise a clear mountain view.
When to consider another option
Do not use these sightseeing trips as mountain-climbing transport without a separate agreement. Avoid tight onward connections after a long road trip.
