Frequently asked questions

Personal Euro Tours is a service that designs fully customized private tours across Europe, tailored to each traveler’s budget, interests, and travel dates.

And yes. Every tour is exclusively for you and your traveling companions; you will not be combined with strangers on your private experiences unless all parties agree and wish to travel together.

A custom package usually includes accommodations, selected local tours and experiences, private or small‑group transfers where specified, and detailed day‑by‑day planning support. Exact inclusions will be clearly listed in your proposal before you pay.

Some key tickets (for example skip‑the‑line entrances or time‑slot attractions) can be included if agreed in advance, but many entrance fees are left flexible so you can decide on the day what you want to visit.

You tell us your budget, preferred dates, destinations, and travel style, and we create a custom itinerary with handpicked activities, accommodations, and local guides just for your party. Once you approve the plan, we handle the arrangements and provide on‑trip support.

We can arrange custom itineraries in most major European destinations (for example Italy, France, Spain, UK, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and more), subject to availability and season.

Every tour is exclusively for you and your traveling companions; you will not be combined with strangers on your private experiences.

Our focus is on bespoke private trips for individuals, couples, families, and small groups who already know each other; we do not typically run large bus‑style group tours.

Planning starts at $750. That is the fee for the work itself: the route, where you stay, how you move between places, the day‑by‑day plan, and the bookings that need making. You get a fixed figure for it before any work begins, so there is no open meter and nothing to discover later.

If you want me with you on the ground, guiding starts at $850 a day. That is for your whole party, not per person, and my own travel costs are itemized alongside it before you agree to anything. It is optional — a planned trip works perfectly well without me on it.

The trip is separate from the fee and itemized — hotels, trains, admissions, meals. You will see what each part costs before you commit to any of it.

Budget is still one of the first questions I ask, not the last. It decides the hotels, the pace and the plan from the outset, and I will tell you plainly when something is not realistic rather than quietly building a trip that disappoints you.

Yes. You select your preferred travel dates and how long you want to be away, and we build an itinerary that fits those timelines.

Within local logistics and availability, you can customize destinations, number of nights in each place, activities, excursion types, and free time. We will advise you if certain requests are not realistic and suggest good alternatives.

For the best choice of hotels, guides, and special experiences, we recommend starting planning 4–9 months in advance, and even earlier for peak seasons or popular events.

Minor changes are often possible, but they may affect price and availability and may be subject to change fees depending on our suppliers’ policies.

International flights to and from Europe are usually not included, but we can advise on good flight options or route structure if needed.

Breakfast is often included with your hotel stay, depending on property and country. Other meals are usually at your own expense so you can explore local restaurants according to your tastes and budget.

Most custom tours require a non‑refundable planning fee or deposit to confirm arrangements, with the remaining balance due a set number of days before departure. Exact amounts and due dates will be listed in your booking terms.

Cancellation terms vary depending on how close to departure you cancel and on the policies of our local partners; some portions may be non‑refundable. Your specific cancellation conditions will be clearly stated before you confirm your trip.

Yes. We can suggest kid‑friendly activities, appropriate pacing, and family‑suitable accommodations in each destination.

Yes, we can customize private itineraries for solo travelers who want flexibility and local support, noting that per‑person costs are usually higher than for a shared double room.

We can often organize private arrangements for larger families, friend groups, or special‑interest groups, using a mix of private transport and group‑suitable activities. Tell us your group size and preferences so we can advise on what is feasible.

In many cities or regions, you can choose private guided days with a dedicated driver‑guide, and other days may be self‑guided with our detailed recommendations. Your proposal will spell out when a guide or driver is included.

We can arrange trains, flights, or private transfers between cities as part of your itinerary if you wish; these options and their costs will be clearly itemized.
