Tailor-Made Travel with a Private Chauffeur Guide
You prefer to travel when you have the time, at the pace that suits you, and the itinerary of your choice. We understand you. Organizing a tailor-made trip is something we often do, but some people are surprised when they see the price. Why so high? We can tell you that a big part of the price is the cost of the driver-guide. Yes, it costs to stay in a 4* or 5* hotel for many nights, but a private escort guide is a high expense.
This type of guide charges quite a lot for each day, and on top of that, you also have to pay for all their expenses, accommodation, and food. They are with travelers every day, driving and guiding. You can say that they also function as a Concierge. This way, you don’t need to drive, know the way, or have the daily plan memorized. He does it all.
In addition, being your personal guide, the themes of each place visited are explained in your preferred way. Do you want to know more about the culture, architecture, history? The guide will adapt the content. If you go on a large group tour (as many people are used to traveling), you hear pre-prepared topics and can’t ask as many questions.
A trip with a private driver guide will be a unique tourism experience, making the trip more flexible and personalized.
