The driver usually knows well the region and will make you discover
places off the beaten track. He may transform into a guide, and may
accompany you in excursions However it is advised to use the local
guides. (Rates more than acceptable, to see with your travel planner).

lorries share roads. The pavement covering is very bad and many
obstacles may be encountered (rocks, holes...).
SMALL INCONVENIENCES
Some drivers may not speak good English; this can trigger some
misunderstanding between you and the driver. However, it is not a
handicap in itself and it gives more authenticity to your journey. Use
simple words and make sketches to make you understand.
Beware with shopping, because numerous agencies carry agreements with
shops, in which tourists can be swindled on the practised prices.
ORGANIZATION
You will first agree with the travel planner about your itinerary. The
driver will bring you to the cities and monuments to visit as
forecasted. During the visits, he will wait for you or will pick you
at the desired time if a lengthy visit is expected.
He will in general not take his meals at the same time as you. You can
however invite him to a restaurant. Some drivers do not accept,
because certain hotelkeepers do not appreciate their presence within
their restaurant. The drives often know the best places; do not
hesitate to ask them for the smartest restaurant in town.
Your driver will take charge of almost everything; you will only have
to let yourself transported and admire the surrounding countryside and
its fascinating people. You will have nothing else to settle during
your routes, except your personal expenses, your meals and your
accommodation.
PAYMENT
It is the custom to pay the travel planner (in cash) and to pay a good
part of the sum at the beginning of the journey (minimum 50 %) and to
settle the balance before the end of your journey.
MANY DRIVERS HAVE GOT THE HABIT OF GIVING THEIR PERSONNEL CONTACTS TO
THE CLIENTS, IF NEXT TIME THEY USE THE SERVICES OF THE DRIVER THE
COMPANY IS NO WHERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAME
