Hire a Private Guide (Guide-Only Service)

$410 USD / Day

Perfect for independent travelers who have their own logistics sorted but want the rich expertise of a dedicated local expert. You get the deep cultural knowledge and insider access of a fully guided tour, while keeping the absolute freedom of a self-planned trip.

What’s Included:

• Your Personal Expert: A professional, full-time photographer cum guide dedicated solely to you and your group.
• Insider Knowledge: Deep historical context, cultural insights, and stories you won't find in a guidebook.
• On-the-Ground Support: Seamless assistance with translation, local etiquette, and navigating unexpected itinerary changes.
• Hidden Gems: Spontaneous detours to local-favorite restaurants, viewpoints, and off-the-beaten-path spots.

What You Cover (Logistics):

To keep this option entirely flexible and tailored to your travel style, the daily rate covers the guide's professional fee only. The hirer acts as the host and is responsible for the guide’s daily logistical expenses during the tour, including:

• Accommodation: A private room for your guide (either at your hotel or a nearby, reasonably priced alternative).
• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner while on the road together.
• Transportation: Any travel costs incurred during the tour (including intercity transit, private car rentals, or local transport).
• Attraction Tickets: Entry fees for the guide to any museums, parks, or historical sites you visit together.

Who is this perfect for?

• Travelers who prefer to book their own hotels (to use loyalty points or stay in specific accommodations).
• Families or small groups who want a completely flexible, wake-up-when-you-want schedule.
• Photographers, researchers, or special-interest travelers who need a local "fixer" to help them navigate safely and efficiently.
