Individual tours

An individual tour — is a package of various travel services provided to a single traveler or an entire group of holidaymakers. During such a tour, it is possible to provide a car with a personal driver and a private tour guide.

The tour is arranged taking into account all the client’s wishes: hotel selection, organizing meals in restaurants or cafés, planning excursions and entertainment — all this is handled by the tour operator. The same company also discusses in advance any issues related to changing the travel itinerary and visiting additional excursions and entertainment venues.

This type of tour is in high demand among young married couples, as well as business people planning a business trip to an unfamiliar place but having time for leisure activities. Personal tours are usually booked by travelers who want to get the maximum impressions from their holiday and go on excursions that are not included in the standard package.

What an individual tour includes

Regardless of the destination and duration, an individual tour provides for:

• Individual itinerary. You choose the places you want to visit and decide for yourself how much time you will spend in a particular country. Based on this, the tour company builds the most comfortable route for you.
• Individual travel program. When traveling on an individual tour, you choose your daily leisure program yourself, based on your interests, whether it’s visiting a museum, a sea trip, or shopping.
• Individual guide service. In this case, the guide works only with you or your mini-group, without forcing you to crowd together with a large group of people.
• A bus or plane ticket to the final destination, as well as transfers within the chosen itinerary.
• Assistance with paperwork from the tour company. With a high degree of probability, the set of documents for an individual trip abroad will be somewhat more extensive: you may need additional papers or, for example, a different type of visa.
• Accommodation in hotels along the entire route.
• Medical insurance.
• Car rental and other additional services chosen optionally.

Prices for individual tours

There is a common misconception that an individual tour is necessarily expensive. In reality, a costly package tour implies that all services are provided at the highest level, whereas an individual tour, on the contrary, helps you save money by wisely allocating expenses at the traveler’s own discretion.

Individual tours are possible in any direction — both very expensive and very budget-friendly.

And don’t let the phrase «individual booking» scare you: this service does not imply serious financial costs. At the same time, it helps you avoid standard routes and arrange a truly unusual and exciting adventure for yourself!
