private tours

Private and customised tours are a great alternative to our scheduled departures. The personalised experience is where we get to show off exactly what makes Local Guide unique.
See below for more information on booking.

PRIVATE
TOURS

A private tour is the perfect option for special occasions, small groups, photographers, families with younger children, and those looking to customize the length of the tour or combine activities. Our guides have a range of experience working with small children, big groups, multiple languages, people with disabilities and on film sets. We can ensure a safe, memorable and personalised experience for your group. 

A private tour allows us to adapt a few things to your group, such as adding in more hiking or climbing time, adding snack or rest breaks for those who want to take the tour a little slower, spending more time with photographers or content creators, adapting our language and instruction for different ages, and allowing us to give your group our undivided attention.
