Good to know
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Public transportation options are available nearby
Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Not recommended for pregnant travelers in the first 16 weeks
Children of 6 years and older are required to have a seat and will thus pay the same price as an adult.
While rickshaws are able to fit two adults, each rickshaw is 29.1 inches (74 centimeters) wide, and it is sometimes more comfortable to book individual rickshaws for each passenger. For passengers of size, we recommend booking a rickshaw for each participant to ensure a comfortable ride. Passengers who do not both fit in one rickshaw but wish to participate in a tour at the same time will be required to purchase an additional rickshaw, which may not be available on the date of the tour with an English-speaking guide if not booked in advance. Those customers who do not purchase an additional rickshaw at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed availability.
Children 5 years and under can ride for free provided that they will sit on the lap of an adult (one child per adult = max 2 adults & 2 children per rickshaw)
If a child 5 years will be using one of the two seats of the rickshaw, it must book as an adult.
Infants must be able to hold up their head by themselves.
The amount of time you will be late will be deducted from your tour duration (delay of 10min or more results in automatic cancellation)

Any time changes/rescheduling requests sent after 5pm the day before your tour can not be accommodated
finishing locations other than our rickshaw stand may be subject to an additional drop-off fee (payable on the day of the tour)
