How much more expensive is organizing a personal tour than a mass one?
If you are alone or in pairs, then a sum of several thousand for a walk around the city or twenty thousand for a car excursion is noticeable.
But if you're going for a walk with family or friends, the cost per individual participant is closer to a thousand or two - about what each person would pay for a group excursion with strangers.
For a group of 8 or more people, the price becomes even lower when calculated per person, which makes an individual excursion truly attractive.

A mass excursion is tourism, an individual excursion is a journey through the city’s secrets with a personal guide.
