Private tours are ideal for both travelers and guides
Let me try to give you some advantages of private tours: The first lesson we learn as tour guides is that a bad guide can ruin even the best location.
He can turn the most beautiful park or museum into the worst experience. But the same holds in reverse. A guide can turn an average location into an unforgettable experience.
Whether will he succeed or not also depends on the schedule. That’s my additional conclusion. I realized this after several trips where I was either a passenger or a guide. Ideal weather, incredibly beautiful places for photography, or simply sitting and enjoying the atmosphere. But no, none of that will happen because the schedule dictates that we must rush to visit some landmarks and be exactly at 5 pm in front of the hotel. Because some travelers from your group are tired and fed up with everything. An opportunity is missed, who knows when we’ll come back here again? There probably won’t be other opportunities.
That’s why private tours are ideal for both travelers and guides. Do you want to shorten the tour because you’d like to sit in a Renaissance square, drink coffee for an hour, and just enjoy the view? Do you want to stop at a restaurant near the national park and try local liqueurs without someone rushing you? Do you want to hear all the details of a historical love story that happened long ago in this castle without anyone complaining that you’re holding up the other travelers? Choose private tours.
Saving just a few tens of euros, you’ll miss a lot. And you’ll still pay a certain amount for an excursion you’re not satisfied with. Such a trip, no matter the cost, is the most expensive one.
