Short answer
Choose private transport when you mainly need help getting between places. Choose an English-speaking guide when you want someone beside you to explain what you see and help with communication. Edison’s personal accompaniment and online planning support are separate options to discuss for your dates.
Private vehicle and driver
This can suit travelers who enjoy exploring independently but want an agreed pickup, route and drop-off. Tell us whether you need a direct transfer, stops along the way, or transport for a sightseeing day. Those involve different amounts of time and planning.
A driver’s role is transport. English-language guiding is not automatically included; language needs should be discussed before you book.
English-speaking guide
A guide may be useful for cultural visits, questions about local life, or days when you would prefer more help communicating. You can ask about guided days within a largely independent trip. Availability and the guide’s working hours are confirmed with the itinerary; transport is specified separately in the quote.
Edison accompanying you
If you would like Edison himself to accompany you, state the dates and destinations. Personal accompaniment depends on his availability and is confirmed explicitly. An inquiry through this website does not reserve his time.
Planning and agreed online support
You may prefer to travel independently with help shaping the route or coordinating agreed arrangements. Before booking, we clarify the planning work, support dates, contact method and available hours. Online support does not include an accompanying guide.
A combination can work
For example, you could request a driver for a transfer, a guide for one cultural day, and free time to explore on your own. Start with what you want help with; we can then confirm which arrangements are practical.
Common questions
Can I book just part of my trip?
You can ask about individual days or transfers. Include your dates and where each service should start and finish.
Are tickets, hotels and meals included?
Only items expressly listed in your quote are included. Tell us what you have already booked and what you need help arranging.
What should I send first?
Your dates, group size, intended route and preferred type of support are enough to start. You do not need a finished itinerary.
