Practical local advice

Hotel entrances can be spread along smaller roads, so add the property name to your booking.

Times vary with traffic, weather, road works and the exact hotel entrance. Add your flight, accommodation and luggage details when booking.

Make a day of it

Ask for a return ride, waiting time or several stops in the booking notes. Attraction, boat, guide and restaurant fees are separate unless confirmed.
