Private guide hire

This service matches you with a dedicated private guide, working only for your party, for however much of your trip you want — a single city, a specific day, or the whole itinerary end to end. Guides are matched to your specific interest where possible: history and architecture, food and markets, photography, or general first-time sightseeing.

Unlike a shared group tour, a private guide lets you change plans on the day, linger somewhere you love, and skip something that does not interest you.

Travellers who want the flexibility and depth of a private guide over a fixed-schedule group tour, whether for a single city or an entire multi-region trip.

• Included: the private guide's time for the scope agreed, matched to your interests.
• Not included: international flights, visa fees, vehicle and driver if booked separately, monument entry tickets, guide's meals and accommodation on multi-day tours (typically arranged and included in the overall quote).

From a single day to a full multi-week itinerary. Available year-round; lead time of a few days to a few weeks is usually enough, longer for peak season or a guide with a specific rare specialism.

• Tell us your specific interests as precisely as you can — the better we understand what you want, the better the guide match.
• For multi-region trips, decide whether you want one guide throughout or local specialists at each stop; both have advantages.
• Language needs should be flagged early, especially for less common languages, since guide availability varies by language.
