How are your private tours priced?
Our private tours are priced based on the duration of the tour. You pay a flat rate per hour, which means the cost remains the same regardless of the number of people in your group.

How can I pay for the tour?
For online bookings, we offer secure payment options through Stripe, allowing you to pay conveniently with your credit card.
