Yes, private tours are a notable feature of this category. Roughly 31% of the options we compare (11 listings) are tagged as private tours. This is a higher share than many other destinations, giving you the flexibility to customise your pace and group size if you prefer not to join a larger public group.

You will find good linguistic coverage across the platforms. Tours are available in 7 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Albanian, and Arabic. English-speaking guides are widely available given the international nature of the route.

Inclusions vary significantly by provider, but here is what you can generally expect based on the pool of options:

• Guide Included: Present in roughly half of the listings.
• Accommodation: Included in about one-third of the tours.
• Entry Tickets: Covered in roughly a quarter of the options.
• Hotel Pickup/Drop-off: Available in a smaller share of tours.

Because only 26% include entry tickets, it is wise to check the specific itinerary to see if museum fees or park permits are added separately.

The transport method depends heavily on the terrain and the specific route chosen. The most common modes of transport across the options we compare are:

Many comprehensive itineraries will mix these methods, such as driving between regions and walking within historic towns.
