    What are the hotels that are included in this tour? What kind of transportation is used? We have two elderly grandparents, both of whom are 85 years old, so we would like to know whether this tour would be suitable for them. Do you have any private tours available? (Ie. only 11 of us in a vehicle)? Are there any discounts available given that we are 11 people?
