There's nothing worse than waiting around. That's why our groups are smaller, creating an intimate experience suited to what you actually want to see and do. Tours are limited to no more than 20 people, and as low as 12 for some destinations, so you’ll spend less time waiting and more time exploring.
10 Reasons to go small
1. Less time waiting
Getting on and off the coach, hotel check-ins, comfort stops, meals – with a small group everything is easier and quicker, so we can show you more of what you came to see.
2. More time with your guides
Our tour guides are know-it-all’s, which is actually a good thing. Travelling in a small group means more time to ask questions and learn from guides who are passionate about sharing their love of their country – in other words, more opportunities to discover the hidden gems that only locals know about.
3. More space on the coach
Our groups might be small, but our vehicles are not! This means there are always plenty of empty seats for you to spread out in comfort.
4. Better views
Full coaches often mean your holiday snaps feature the back of people’s heads. When the coach isn’t full, you’ll spend less time scrambling for a better view and more time soaking up the scenery.
5. More accommodation choice
Big groups are limited to large, and often impersonal, hotels. Imagine a full day of enriching experiences only to go back to your hotel with no signs of the local culture. We love smaller hotels full of character and charm, that get you closer to the action.

6. Less time on the coach
What’s the best way to immerse yourself in your dream destination? By exploring it like a true local – on foot! Our accommodation is centrally located, so we can do more sightseeing by foot rather than wasting time caught up in traffic.
7. Flexibility
Small groups are more flexible, so we can change the itinerary around to suit the local conditions. Even if it’s off the beaten track, we’re always down for a detour.
8. Get off the tourist trail
For logistical reasons, large groups must stay at large hotels, eat at larger restaurants and stick to the tourist path. Small groups can venture off the beaten track and get to the heart of a destination through authentic cultural experiences.
9. Be a responsible tourist
We feel a great responsibility for the people and places we visit, just as much as the travellers who trust us with their trips. Small groups are low-impact and don’t ruin the very place you’ve come to see. By not being limited to large hotels and restaurants, we are able to better support the communities who are sharing their world with us.

10. More fun!
The only thing we love more than travel, is doing it together. Small groups mean more meaningful connections between like-minded travellers and the people, culture and places we visit.
