Our small group tours give you greater access to our expert tour guides and allow for a more intimate, personalised holiday. This means we can take our groups to the heart of a destination and be fully immersed in the culture.
This is prominent on our South America Discovery tour where we have a truly authentic experience as we journey to a nearby village and test our haggling skills to buy a pig from a local farmer. We then take our newly acquired pig on our bus and journey to a neighbouring village. We name the pig and present it as our gift. Here, we gain an understanding of the livestock and produce trading, which is still so integral amongst the townships.

On our Highlights of Vietnam tour, we walk along the ‘Rail Tracks of Hanoi’ and explore a rarely seen side of Vietnam’s capital. We meet the locals and see how they have adapted to daily life just metres from the trains.

For logistical reasons large groups must stay at large hotels. Where we differ is staying at smaller hotels with character, in prime locations. Our chosen hotels are in close proximity to local restaurants and sites, giving you the freedom to immerse in the destination’s culture during time at leisure.
We believe location, character and cleanliness beats bland chain hotels every time. If it’s worth the experience, then we’ll include it.

In Morocco we stay in a traditional Moroccan kasbah where we spend the evenings enjoying traditional Moroccan hospitality and a morning watching the sun come up over the shifting sands of the Sahara Desert. It’s a simply magical and unforgettable experience!

Another benefit of venturing off the beaten tourist track and travelling as part of a small group is that you have a greater opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers in a more intimate setting, sparking more friendships and enjoyment on tour.
