Can I customize the itinerary or spend more time at certain sites?

Yes—this is a private tour, so your guide can adjust the pace and focus. Mention preferences at booking or directly to your guide.

What's included in the cooking or wine-tasting add-on?

The supplier description confirms these are optional activities, but specific details (menu items, wine selection, duration) aren't specified—confirm with the operator before booking.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Yes, the private format and flexible pacing work well for families. However, the Citadel involves climbing and uneven terrain; assess your children's mobility accordingly.

What's the difference between the day and night tour?

Both cover the same attractions. Night tours showcase illuminated landmarks and a different ambiance; day tours allow better visibility of archaeological details and souks. Choose based on your preference and schedule.

Do I need to speak Arabic, or will my guide speak English?

The listing doesn't specify languages. Confirm language availability (likely English for international tours) at booking to avoid miscommunication.

How much walking is involved?

Expect moderate walking, especially at the Citadel (uphill sections with ancient stone steps). Downtown and modern neighbourhoods are relatively flat. Wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.
