Cosmos Tours has launched a range of private tours to its worldwide programme.
The touring specialist wants to offer a more flexible, intimate and personalised style of holiday.
Customers will have their own air-conditioned vehicle, private guide or driver, and the flexibility to go at the pace that suits them best.
"Without the need to keep up with a group, more time can be spent at an attraction which has particular interest, or bypass it to spend more time at another which holds more appeal," it said.
"Private tour customers can also enjoy personalised hotel check-in, separate dining, private airport transfers as well as a broader choice of UK departure dates."
The choice of 14 private tours is now available in Asia, Eastern Africa, India and Indonesia, and will include the same highlights as a classic tour.
The selection includes an 11-day China Experience, a 15-day Thailand Experience and a 10-day tour called India’s Golden Triangle and Tigers of Ranthambore.
Head of product Rob Goodwin said: "We believe our new private tours will have a broad appeal, ranging from existing customers to those who are new to touring, as well as varying age groups, including younger travellers and honeymooners. In the future, we are looking to provide family rooms so that we can help to create incredible holiday experiences for the whole family."
Cosmos Tours’ new private tours cater for parties from 1 to 28 people, depending on the individual tour itinerary, and are available to book from September 26 for 2017 departures.
