The Slavs are one of the largest ethnic groups in Europe, and have played a key role in shaping the culture, language, and history of many modern states. Their traditions, mythology, and customs remain an important part of their cultural heritage.
How the word "Slav" became synonymous with "slave" in the Middle Ages

How much more expensive are personal tours than mass tours?
If you are alone or in pairs, then a sum of several thousand for a walking tour of the city or twenty thousand for a car excursion is significant.
But if you're going for a walk with family or friends, the cost for an individual participant approaches one or two thousand - the amount that each person would pay for a group excursion with strangers.
For your group of 8 or more people, the price becomes even lower when calculated per person, making a private tour truly attractive.

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