ADVANTAGES OF A PRIVATE TOUR
- Optimization of your time and money, visiting and staying in the places of interest, without delays from other tourists, which unfortunately happens in group tours.
- Private and exclusive tour guide.
- Exclusive transport, with total convenience. In a group tour, on the other hand, transport is shared and often crowded, putting your family and/or friends' health at risk (COVID19).
- More detailed explanation, being able to direct the information to the points of your interest and of your companions. Infinite number of questions are allowed, as this is an interpersonal relationship.
- There are no stops at pre-established restaurants and shops and tourist catchers.
- Flexible schedules, allowing you to get to places when they are empty. Unlike a group tour, visiting hours generally coincide with other tours, crowding out attractions.
- Custom-made itineraries to visit only the places you and your fellow travelers want.
- More time to take pictures, wander around and stay where you and your companions are most interested. Without having the hassle of tourists who are late, get lost and hinder the progress of your tour.
- Ride at your own pace and that of your fellow travelers. Stay where you and your fellow travelers are most interested.
