    Caroline

    Asked on May 22nd, 2024

    I would like to know if you organise Luxury FIT tours for individuals who would not like to travel as part of a group. I am a travel agent in India, and I have a client query regarding a 6-night luxury trip for about 4 adults on 23rd June. They are not interested in being part of a coach tour and would prefer their own vehicle, if possible, for the entire tour along with a guide.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • AAT KingsOperator•Written May 2024

      A private tour for only 4 travelers will be on the expensive side. May I ask what the traveler's budget would be?

    • C

      Caroline

      Traveler•Written May 2024

      They are pretty much open to a high-budget tour. It would be great if you could give me a ballpark figure for how much this would entail. As an option, if you have a small group tour (please mention group size and mode of transport) on the days I've mentioned in my query, you could send me the pricing for that, too, as that will allow them to make an informed decision about the tour. I would be most obliged if a day-wise itinerary for the above tours is also sent.

    • AAT KingsOperator•Written May 2024

      AAT Kings does not do custom tours. We offer a small selection of luxury, small-group tours, called Inspiring Journeys. These are a maximum of 22 guests. We have one option for the North Island.
