About this activity

Complete Freedom and flexibility

Personalised private tours give you total freedom and flexibility. The tour itinerary and schedule is entirely focused and planned around you.

More exclusivity

While group tours rely on buses filled with other travellers, private tours allow you to choose who will accompany you on your trip.

Special care and assistance

Having your own personal guide and transportation provides you with that extra special care and attention. This is especially helpful if you are travelling with young children, elderly relatives, disabled travellers, those with medical conditions, special needs or mobility issues.

Your own personal tap of local knowledge

Having your own personal guide means there is no competing with other travellers to get the attention of your guide or to have your questions answered. Instead, you’ll have access to a tap of local culture and knowledge.
