Believe it or not, you can book your own city tour and guide yourself through it. Many locations offer city tours that are simply rented equipment that will take you around the town and tell you great bits of information that you need and want to learn.

Some city tours can take you into locations that aren't open to the public. For example, if you visit the United Kingdom or Ireland, you will be able to visit the various castles and maybe even get inside to meet some pretty great people and see the grounds.

Are you looking for a private getaway? Often, city tours will allow you to make reservations for your group so that your group is the only group on the tour. This is great for a larger family or a group of friends that would like a more intimate outing with an educated tour guide.
