How to compare this with a guided tour
Guided group tours usually include a guide and a fixed itinerary, and are priced
per person. This is a private car-and-driver service priced per vehicle: you
set the pace, you can add or drop stops, and you pay the driver directly. For two or more
people a per-vehicle price is often the lower of the two. If you want a guide, you can
hire one separately or book a guided tour instead — we do not pretend to be one.
