Regarding traveling abroad, some expertise is essential to plan the trip wisely step by step. Private expertise is about creating an itinerary that suits your needs, preferences and travel budget. If you have never been to your destination, planning a trip can be confusing and time-consuming. What are the must-see attractions? What are the best lodging options for your budget? What about domestic flights and ground transportation? You have countless questions and want to ensure you get precisely what you want from your trip. Once all these points are taken into consideration, your itinerary will be put together by the trip planner according to your wishes.
In addition, some travellers are curious about history and archaeology, others are curious about local cuisine or other local experiences, and still others are bored with museums and would rather get lost in the local shopping streets. When you join a private tour, you get to decide where you want to go and how much time you want to spend at the sights. With a private tour, you have complete control over your time and can use it freely. Are you interested in local cuisine? You can add a cooking class. Are you interested in local arts and crafts? Add a workshop. Accommodations, meals, activities, sightseeing, etc. They will be completely customized to your needs and desires. This is a much more rewarding experience than a group tour.

Bodrum Castle (Turkish: Bodrum Kalesi) is a historical fortification located in southwest Turkey in the port city of Bodrum, built from 1402 onwards, by the Knights of St John as the Castle of St. Peter or Petronium. A transnational effort, it has four towers known as the English, French, German, and Italian towers, bearing the names of the nations responsible for their construction.
The castle was completed in the late 15th century, only to be taken over by the Islamic Ottoman Empire in 1523. The chapel was converted to a mosque, and a minaret was added. The castle remained under the empire for almost 400 years. After remaining empty following World War I, in the early 1960s, the castle became the home for the award-winning Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology (see below). In 2016 it was inscribed in the Tentative list of World Heritage Sites in Turkey.
