Absolutely. Every private tour we offer is fully tailor-made to your preferences, mobility, pace, and interests — whether that’s art, history, food, or off-the-beaten-path experiences.

What’s included in the price of a private tour?
It’s up to you, however, our private tour typically includes: all accommodation, expert guiding, in-country transport, and many meals. We’ll confirm everything in a detailed itinerary before you book.
How do I get started with planning a tour?
It’s easy. Simply get in touch with us through the form on this page. We’ll schedule a short consultation, get to know your travel goals, and begin crafting your custom itinerary.
What is the difference between an agent and a tour operator?
A simplified answer is :
- An Agent typically communicates with a (local) operator or destination management company (DMC) to offer you a holiday
- A Tour Operator actually creates and runs your tour. They need the detailed knowledge to make your holiday happen.
Agents typically have a broad range of knowledge across multiple countries where as an operator is a specialist on the ground.
The operator is responsible for the care and attention to detail on your holiday – Talk to the operator for access to the best inside information.
