Have a good time.

Many people will say, “Why spend money on a guide when there are audio guides, Lonely Planet and special smartphone apps?” But a good guide is not just detailed stories about the sights. Does the tablet advise you to...

• Which museum is worth visiting and which one is not worth spending time on?
• How to walk through the museum (temple, bridge, square) so as not to be in the crowd;
• Where the nearest toilet, ATM, post office for sending postcards;
• Where not allowed with an umbrella and backpack;

Where to eat cheaper and where to buy souvenirs

• How to deal with a crowd of gypsies or annoying sellers of selfie sticks.

Finally, there are places where without an accredited guide and not allowed at all: castles, tunnels, national parks, some museums.

With a private guide, you’ll spend more time and learn more in the same 4-5 hours than if you were walking in a guidebook or following a large organized group. To explore the surroundings, a guide with a car is absolutely indispensable.

With a good guide, the tour turns into an exciting action and you finally and irrevocably fall in love with the city.
