Which Should You Book?
For 20–25 people, a single 25-seater mini bus is almost always cheaper and easier to manage than two Tempo Travellers — lower combined per-km rate, one driver bata instead of two, and the group stays together. Two Tempo Travellers only make sense if you specifically need the flexibility to split the group or take different routes/timings.
