**Why should you choose PRIVATE instead of a GROUP tour ?

- In a special round, you won't wait for a long time to buy tickets while visiting the ruins or enter the ruins or museums. Because your private tour guide will make everything ready for you.

-Since your guide is only focused on you, your cultural trip will become more enjoyable. If a friend from the group gets sick or falls in large groups in ruins, you will have to stop your tour for a short time. Because the guide of the large groups has to take care of this person.
-With a large group, you are dependent on your programs. However, in a special round, you do not have to follow any program, you decide what you want to see, when you want to start and finish your tour. Because this is your own private tour, you are the BOSS and you decide everything.
-Crowded buses are very crowded because it is hot and it can bother you. With your private car, the private tour will feel good for you.
