What does it mean that the tour is shared?

• It means that you can share the tour with a group of tourists of different nationalities and ages, both from Guru Explorers and from different operators. It is an excellent opportunity to connect with travelers from different parts of the world! Remember that this type of tour is operated by Guru Explorers or by our strategic partner who responds to our same standards. If you prefer a tour where you do not share with other people, please ask us for the Private Tour option.
• In the shared tour option, a pick-up time range and an approximate return time will be assigned one day before the tour date. Please consider that since it is a shared tour with other people, punctuality is important so as not to cause delays to other passengers. Also, the duration of the tour may vary depending on the pace of the members of the group. The return time may vary depending on the traffic in the area, so we provide an approximate schedule. Please remember that both traffic and the pace of tourists are not the responsibility of Guru Explorers.
