Thank you for fast reply, but I must show you the previous sentence and please answer again.

If I travel with a tour goup,

I can't spend as much time as I'd like at each place.

I can't spend more time in each place that I want to.

Is this ok?

I can't spend more time in each place IF I want to.

Mister MicawberI can't spend more time in each place IF I want to.
wow... I am amazed at your emphasizing "IF"

I can't spend more time in each place even if I want to.


If vs Even if, which one sounds better?

I emphasized 'if' because I showed you that 'if' I was correct before, but you changed it to 'that', which is wrong. You don't need 'even'.

I see!! Thanks, but why I coutinuesly say like that is, when it translates into my language, it makes sence, but I shouldn't use it..

Thank you for your effort!

I can't spend more time in each place IF I want to because of time limitation.

If I put this clause, it that fine?

No, because it is redundant. You have already said 'can't spend more time' -- that means a time limitation.

Hate to be a nuisance when it seems like you have already tied this question up, but I cannot seem to make sense of your corrected, number 2 sentence: "I can't spend more time in each place if I want to". I could understand if it were "I can spend more time in each place if I want to", but in the negative.. are you not then saying: "If I want to, I cannot spend more time in each place"?

No, not at all. The tour guide won't let you loiter. If you want to spend more time there, you cannot do so.
