Small Group Tours

Small group tours allow you to travel with likeminded travellers, and with a maximum group size of 24, you'll have the opportunity for a more in depth and intimate touring experience. Visit places that larger coach groups can't, stay in boutique accommodation, immerse yourself in the culture, and enjoy authentic local interaction. Get off the beaten track and truly under the skin of a destination.

Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their small group touring experiences

Very happy customers     , Victoria, Australia, Dec 2024
Bungy jumping was for me a dream for many years, adding white water rafting over 7 m waterfall (and not capsizing) including body surfing over another waterfall was great fun. Must definitely mention the tour guide George for his professionalism, huge amount of information provided and constant care and attention to our various changing needs.
Tasmania Adventure   , VIC, Australia, Nov 2024
A good mix of travellers from Australia, New Zealand, England, Germany, Austria and Mongolia. Saw and learned a lot about Tasmania's beautiful scenery and wildlife. Accommodation is average with no wifi in the room. Food was average. It was a "one-man show" meaning the tour guide was also the driver, therefore, missed out on his scenic commentary as ...read more he was driving and we limit ourselves asking him questions so that he may concentrate on his driving. The van was old and broke down. Did not get a replacement van till 12pm which means half a day wasted! Intrepid was thoughtful to treat us an "apology meal".
Fantastic tour through Japan   , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Booking through Global Journeys has always been a hassle free and easy process. The Cosmos tour was wonderful with the highlights being Mt Fuji, visiting Bizen and Himeji Castle and the delicious food. There is so much to see and do. We had a full day of free time in Tokyo and Kyoto and it was not enough. Japan is just a fantastic place to visit. I ...read more would like to go back again.
Cambodia 6 Day Tour   , WA, Australia, Oct 2024
This tour covers the 2 things Cambodia is known for - Killing Fields in khmer Rouge period and Angkor wat. It does this well. Tour was well organised and our tour guide was great.
