Why Private Tours Are Your Gateway to an Authentic Travel Experience

Why Private Tours Are Your Gateway to an Authentic Travel Experience

In the age of independent travel, travel blogs and free travel guides, “tour” has almost become a dirty word, but it doesn't have to be!

We know the word conjures up images of being herded onto busses with strangers, shuttling from place to place without appreciating them, tasteless packed lunches and a disconnect with the place and people who live there because you’re nothing but a tourist.

Admittedly, that still exists, but when you’re talking about custom private tours, it’s a whole other world of close friends and family, hidden gems, meeting locals, making new friends, traveling at your own pace and much more.

Check out how custom private tours give you all the perks of independent travel but without the hassle!

Every tour is customizable

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all tour. Everybody has different tastes, interests and pace, and private tours can always be customized to fit those of you and your group.

More affordable than you think

If you have a group of 4 or more people, a private tour is going to be at least comparable with paying to join a group tour on an individual basis.

Every tour is private

This is a big perk for people who don’t fancy packing into a bus with a bunch of strangers who may or may not have the same interests.

On a private tour, it’s just you, your group and a guide, who is able to focus on meeting your needs and answering your questions.

Go at your own pace

There’s nothing worse than being hurried along when you’re trying to enjoy a new place. There’s more to touring than taking a few photos and getting herded back into a bus.

On private tours, you decide how long you spend at each location.

Go off the beaten path

Local tour guides always know the area best, and a private tour lets you take advantage of that knowledge to the fullest. Unlike on a pre-planned group tour, your guide will have the time and latitude to take you past the usual sites and attractions on a deeper exploration of your destination.
