Yes, there is a notable share of private experiences compared across platforms. Roughly 42% of the options we compare are tagged as private tours, allowing for a more personalised itinerary. If you prefer a guided but shared experience, Guided Tours make up the largest share at 71%, though truly small-group formats (under 10 people) represent a smaller fraction of the total inventory.

We compare options offered in 8 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, and Dutch. This wide linguistic coverage ensures that most international travellers can find a guide who speaks their preferred language, though it is always wise to check the specific listing details before booking.

The mode of transport varies significantly depending on the tour type. Walking is the most common method, used in 37% of options, which allows for a closer look at illuminated landmarks. However, because many tours cover larger areas, Car-based transport accounts for 31% of listings, and Golf Carts make up another 15%. Only a handful of options use bikes or private drivers.

The vast majority of these experiences focus on culture and history. Cultural themes appear in 93% of options, followed closely by Historical themes at 80%. In terms of activity type, Sightseeing Tours are the most common category, representing 67% of the listings. Food and Drinks are less central, appearing in only 11% of options, so travellers seeking a culinary-focused evening should filter specifically for Food Tours.

While most options offer instant confirmation (84%), availability can still be tight for popular time slots. Only about 4% of the tours we compare are currently flagged as likely to sell out, indicating that last-minute bookings are often possible. However, given the high average rating of 4.72★ across pooled reviews, booking ahead is recommended to secure your preferred date and guide.
