Yes, but they represent a minority of the choices. Roughly 46% of the options we compare are Guided Tours, while 46% are Private Tours. Only 15% of all listings are explicitly tagged as private, meaning most standard bookings will join a small group rather than a dedicated private vehicle.

You can find guides in 7 languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Polish. Since English is widely available, it is rarely a barrier, but if you require one of the other six languages, be sure to filter your search accordingly before booking.

Inclusions vary by provider. About 31% of options include a guide, while only 15% include transport. This means many tours operate as self-guided walks or meet-up points where you arrange your own travel. Always check the 'What's Included' section carefully, as bus (23%) and car (15%) transfers are not universal.
