Usually, a guided tour or an “experience” is just one single topic, 2-3 hours.

There are strangers who break a personal connection between you and a guide.

A guided tour or an “experience” start at the fixed time and location.

Following a pre-defined standard agenda, your guide repeats same text as always.

No unplanned turns or stops, unless you want to miss a group.

No one cares if a guide is friendly or unfriendly — the most important is what she or he is telling, uh?

Normally it’s not possible to find a guide based on your interests. Why would that matter if this person is rather to tell just something?

Usual tours or “experiences” don’t assume someone will give you tips before or after.

Often, you pay by cash on site. Sometimes guides don’t have change. If something is wrong, no one to protect you.

All different prices, depending on the guide, title and city. Hard to figure out what’s the best value for money.

Cost of tours, especially professional guide services, are incredibly high. Moreover, they list a price per person, never for entire company.
