A private tour costs quite a bit more than a group tour, but there is no way we could have seen as much as we did, and got as much enjoyment out of it, if we hadn't done this private tour. I would definitely recommend it!

The booking staff were great in customising the highlights tour for us so that we didn't double up with sights from our Private tour. The guides were great and the whole experience just took all the hassle away from the trip! Thanks.
