Overview
Private tours prioritize personalization and pacing; group tours optimize cost and social energy. Your choice depends on interest, budget, and time.
Comparison
| Option | Price | Pace | Access | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private | $$$$ | Tailored | More Q&A time | Deep interests |
| Group | $$ | Set | Efficient | First‑time overview |
Tip: If you have special interests (design, photography), private tours maximize depth.
When to choose which
- Choose private if you want extra time in the atrium and suite details.
- Choose group if you prefer an efficient, social walkthrough.
Booking Tips
- Confirm language preferences with your operator.
- Share specific interests ahead of time.
- Arrive early; both formats run on schedule.
Photo Etiquette
Private tours offer more freedom for setups; in groups, keep movement flowing and avoid blocking paths.Pick based on how you learn and enjoy places — both formats are elegant when managed well.
