A private tour proposal should identify your guide, driver and vehicle arrangements, the itinerary and admissions, the treatment of optional tickets, and what happens with meals, hotels, flights, gratuities and changes.
The essentials to see in writing
Look for a day-by-day route, private guide and vehicle arrangements, entry admissions, any airport services, and a clear total price for the stated group size.
Optional access can change the price
Pyramid interiors, premium tombs, balloon flights and other special experiences may need separate tickets or operating confirmation. A quote should state whether each is included.
Ask how the itinerary can change
A truly private journey should give you room to adjust interests and pace before booking. Once reservations are made, changes can involve supplier rules or additional costs, so ask how revisions work.
Compare like with like
Two proposals can look similar while including very different guide time, ticket categories, transport, hotels or support. Compare inclusions line by line rather than treating the headline price as the whole story.
