PLEASE NOTE: When you book a tour and do not use all of the time that you booked we can not transfer that unused time to another day. Our guides are contracted for a certain amount of time each day and that is what we base their pay on. If a tour is six hours we have to pay them for at least six hours for that day. You may extend your tour at any time and your guide can tell you what the additional time will cost but unused time can not be transferred or refunded.

We have the best prices around. Disney charges $125.00 per hour for a private tour in off-peak season and doesn't provide as many services as we do. Universal charges even more for their private tour. We currently offer 6 and 8 hour days as well as an hourly rate. We are also the only ones that offer discounts when you book two or more days. The guest is responsible for their guides meals during the tour should they decide to stop for lunch or dinner. All prices listed above are for groups of up to six people at Disney and five people at Universal and do not include admissions to the parks. A surcharge of $40.00 per hour may apply for groups of more than six at Disney parks and $40.00 per hour plus $30.00 per day at Universal parks. You would get two guides during your tour and full access to all rides and some shows, please contact us for rates and conditions. A gratuity for your guide of 15 to 20% is not included in the price and although it is not required, it is appreciated, however, a 15% gratuity will be added to the price in advance for groups requiring two guides. If you wish to give a greater amount than that for outstanding service, it would be at your discretion We require a 50% deposit in advance due at time of booking to reserve your tour and the balance is payable prior to the start of your tour. We accept all major credit cards on-line through PayPal. We can also take credit card orders with VISA, MASTERCARD and DISCOVER by phone and in person. You may also mail a check for the deposit but checks must arrive within seven days of booking in order to hold the dates.

We offer a transportation package at additional cost. For $50.00 a day we can pick you up at your hotel and transport up to six people to the parks, between the parks when you choose to do two or more parks in one day and return you to your hotel at the end of the day. Ours vans can be reserved on a first come first serve basis. Until now this was included in the tour price but do to the rising cost of fuel we have been forced to do it as an extra charge option. This option applies to all tours booked after April 15, 2008.
