Yes, private tours are a standout feature for this activity. About 60% of the options we compare (3 out of 5) are offered as private tours, which is unusually high for this type of experience.

All the options we compare offer instant confirmation and free cancellation, which provides flexibility. However, because these are small-group or private experiences, popular time slots can fill up quickly. We recommend booking at least a few days ahead, especially if you want a specific language preference or a private session.

The tours we compare are available in English and Spanish. Since both major languages are covered, you should have no trouble finding a class that matches your preference. When selecting an option, check the description to confirm the primary language of instruction.
