Our main vehicle is the Toyota Alphard / Vellfire — the Japanese luxury MPV that is the standard executive car in Hong Kong and much of Asia, but still rare in Scotland. It has a sliding door, a low step, captain seats in the middle row and a quiet, smooth ride on long Highland roads. Every booking comes with a driver-guide who speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
The vehicle
- Captain seats in the middle row with armrests and plenty of legroom; three more seats in the back row.
- Power sliding doors and a low step — easy for elderly parents and children.
- Climate control front and rear, USB charging and tinted rear windows.
- A Toyota Estima is also available, and a Mercedes Vito 9-seater on request for larger groups.
