How the experience works

You drive. The car tells the story.

  • • You drive your own GPS-guided storytelling vehicle.
  • • The vehicle gives directions and plays location-triggered stories.
  • • The route is planned, so you always know where to go next.
  • • Stop wherever it is safe and legally permitted.
  • • Return the vehicle by your confirmed return time.

Timing

The standard reservation is designed around the average time needed to complete the route in normal traffic. Add 60 minutes for a more relaxed pace, with extra time to stop, explore and capture unforgettable photos.

If you run long

If you keep the vehicle beyond your prepaid reservation time, you will only be charged for the additional minutes used, not a full extra hour. Overage is calculated per minute using the tour's discounted hourly rate.

Tour length does not change based on vehicle type.
