Until 2023 we provided Suzuki AVP for 4 – 5 people but many people think the vehicle is not feasible and less comfortable for some people. As a Trip Organizer who is very thinking about comfort remember overland driving for 7-8 hours, so in this year 2024 decided to use the Toyota Innova 2018 Luxury Series for your comfort.
