Is this suitable for children?

Yes, children can ride in the sidecar, though they should be comfortable in a moving vehicle. Check with the supplier for any age or height restrictions when booking.

Can I book a private tour or customize the route?

our guide Priya couldnt do enough for us and the old market the guide took us through was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the city tour we did in dubrovnik last year, and perfect for first-timers, and perfect intro on day one. Would book again no question.
