Private tours are private because they are just your group and your tour guide. You won’t be placed with anyone you don’t know for the tour. Private tours are also priced at a flat rate, rather than per person. You can do a private tour as a solo traveler or with up to nine friends and always pay one flat price.
Private tours work best when they are capped at 10 guests. If you have a larger group, please send a message with information about your group and we can discuss whether private tour is the best option for you.
