Is it possible for you to let me know if most of the other participants will be in groups? Do you have any recommendations for other trips as a solo traveler?

I wanted clarification regarding the meaning of "private vehicle". Does this mean I should bring my own car, or that a car is provided and we ride to the destinations as a group?

A private vehicle is private G Adventures transportation, typically an 8/9-seater air-conditioned van. This is to note that we don't use public transportation like public buses on this tour.
