Small-Group Private Touring
To keep our tours personal, high-quality and financially sustainable, some smaller bookings may be combined with other guests traveling at the same time.
TourGroups are intentionally kept small — usually between 2 and 8 guests, with an absolute maximum of 10 people — allowing for a flexible, interactive and personal experience that still feels far more intimate than traditional group tours.
Unlike large bus-style tours, our experiences remain locally guided, relaxed and adaptable to the group. This approach also allows us to continue including extras, local insights and the authentic TourGuys experience without compromising quality.
Guests looking for a fully exclusive experience can always contact us for a custom private booking option.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
