What is the difference between a group tour and a private tour?

While group tours may end up on buses with other travelers, private tours allow you to travel by a private car or minivan no matter if you're coming alone or with your family and friends. Private tours are also useful for those who need special care, including older relatives, small children, or disabled travelers.
