Private tours feel more relaxed and tailored—you set the pace, choose the stops, and can ask as many questions as you want without worrying about a group. For couples, they’re ideal if you want a more personal experience or have something special in mind, like an anniversary or first-time visit.
Group tours are more structured and can be a fun way to meet other travelers, but they move on a schedule. If you’re okay with less flexibility and just want to see the major spots efficiently, group tours are fine. But if you’d rather linger at the Golden Gate or explore a certain neighborhood more deeply, private is the way to go.
