What is the difference between our services
PRIVATE TOUR (Per Person) : A fully exclusive tour run solely for you, your family, or your friends with no strangers. It includes a private vehicle, a professional tour guide, and all-inclusive costs (entrance tickets, meals, etc.). You can start on any date or time at your convenience. Ideal for those who need special assistance, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, or families with small children.
*Note: While the price per person can be higher for small groups, it often becomes much cheaper than a Group Tour if you travel with a larger group of people.
GROUP TOUR (Per Person) : Often referred to as seat-in-coach or SIC. It offers the same all-inclusive benefits as a Private Tour (vehicle, guide, tickets, meals), but you will share the vehicle and expenses with other travelers, making it a comparatively low price. Group Tours have fixed departure dates, times, and itineraries that cannot be changed. It is a good chance for you to meet and make new acquaintances from all over the world.
TICKET / E-TICKET (Per Unit) : This service provides admission tickets, electronic vouchers, or attraction passes only. Customers must manage their own transportation to the venue.

CHARTER (Per Charter) : An exclusive private charter of a boat, yacht, or aircraft for your group. The rate is fixed per vessel or aircraft, regardless of the number of passengers (within the safety capacity).
*Optional Add-ons: Private transfers or a tour guide can be booked separately.
SESSION (Per Session) : A private, time-based activity or experience (such as a photography session or private class). The rate is fixed per session, meaning the price remains the same regardless of how many people join the session.

Charlotte - UK - 2024-03-03
"Even though the weather was hot, I really enjoyed this tour. We booked a relaxed, no-rush private tour. Personally, I like taking photos and am not very interested in history, so the guide helped me find some secret photography spots where there weren't many people. The lunch was good; I'm satisfied. I give it 5 stars."
