What changes with the private version

Nobody else in the group: you leave from the hotel and return to it, and the pace of the day is set with the guide. The train and the boat are shared with other passengers.

When it is worth it

For a family, a group of friends or a trip where you do not want to depend on a meeting point. The price is set per group and depends on the number of people: it is worked out at booking.

To prepare before booking

Confirm your hotel address, dietary requirements and the make-up of the group. The listing sets out what is included and what is not.
