Frequently Asked Questions
Good questions deserve honest answers
-
Yes — always. Every Localandings experience is exclusively for your group. No shared tours, no strangers joining, no compromises. Just your party and your guide.
-
A standard tour follows a pre-designed itinerary — it's curated, tested and ready to go.
A custom experience starts from scratch or adapts an existing tour around your specific interests, dietary needs, pace or group dynamic. Both are entirely private.
-
Absolutely. Minor adjustments, such as adapting the pace, focusing on specific artworks or themes, changing a stop, or accommodating accessibility or dietary needs, are usually included.
For more significant changes, a custom experience is the right route.
-
No minimum. Solo travellers, couples, families and groups of any size are all welcome. Every experience is private regardless of how many people are in your party.
-
For standard tours, at least 48–72 hours is recommended.
For custom experiences, 2–3 weeks is ideal to allow time to design and refine the itinerary.
For corporate and group events, 3–4 weeks minimum.
-
