FAQ

How is Private Tour different from our regular scheduled tours?

Our scheduled trips leave on set dates and are available to anyone. Whereas a private tour is exclusive for you and your chosen group. It’s perfect if you’re wanting to go when we have fewer tours running throughout autumn and winter.

How much does a Private Tour cost?

The cost of a Private Tour depends on the number of days, the attractions you’d like to visit, and your preferred accommodation. As a guide, hiring a luxury mini-coach without any extras starts at £899 per day - which works out at just £56.20 per person for a group of 16!

How many people can I book the tour for?

You can book a tour for any group starting from 2 people. Our luxury mini‑coaches comfortably seat up to 16 passengers, and many travellers find that a group of around 6 people is the perfect size, offering an ideal balance of space, sociability, and personal attention.

For groups larger than 16, we’ll arrange a suitably sized vehicle through one of our trusted transport partners, ensuring the same high level of comfort and service.
