Why Hire a Private Guide?

Be a smart traveler

Get the information you need and experience your destination like an insider. You get to choose the time and place and exactly what you'll see. Stop to rest, shop, eat or explore in further detail - all at your own pace.

Be an inspired guest

You stop being a tourist and become a guest. It's like having a friend in Europe to take you under their wing and show you what only the insiders know. Your guide shares their love of their city and culture with you in English, and you get the experience of a lifetime because your tour is personalized to your interests.

Be value conscious

It' may be a little more expensive for a small group, but you'll have a whole new outlook on travel in just a couple of hours.  And don't be fooled - With large tour groups you are stuck to their schedule, right down to the forced gift shop visit. Sometimes they pass up the most interesting details about a sight because it would be impossible for everyone in the group to see it.  And if you can't hear the guide, or you fall behind because the pace is too fast, you're just out of luck. On your own you walk around with your nose in a guidebook and miss the life around you.  None of this happens with a private guide!
