Frequently asked questions

How many people can join this tour for the fixed price?

The price is per group, up to 6 guests, travelling together in the same vehicle. Families with children count the kids within this total.

Can we choose exactly where to go?

Yes. This is a fully personalized tour. Before the tour (or in the car at the start) you can tell the guide which places are “musts” for you. Your guide will then build a realistic route, considering traffic and opening times, and may suggest dropping or adding spots so the day stays comfortable.

Are entrance fees and lunch included?

No. On private tours with Kuantum, entrance tickets and lunch are not included in the base price. This keeps the tour flexible: you only pay for the sites you actually visit and can choose restaurants that match your taste and budget.

Is this tour suitable for guests with limited mobility or young children?

Yes, it’s often a good choice because it’s private and flexible. We can minimize walking, reduce the number of stops, use taxis/ferries more, or build in playground/cafe breaks for children. Just let us know your needs in advance so we can shape the day accordingly.
