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

Travel to the Top End   Top End & Kakadu Adventure , VIC, Australia, Oct 2025
Travelling to the Northern Territory and particularly Kakadu National Park is something that I wanted to do for some time. I enjoyed the trip even though it was sizzling hot and humid. We were a group of 12 on the tour from different countries and we all got along very well. The Aboriginal art rock was very interesting. But I would have liked more interaction... read more with the First Nation people. And yes, I liked the city of Darwin too.
Definitely a back road tour! Paris to Nice Through Vineyards and Mountains , NSW, Australia, Oct 2025
Vineyards and Mountains Back Roads Tour was definitely that and the back roads were stunning. We loved the wine experiences, talks and tastings in Chablis and the champagne district. The cheese making was another very informative day on the edge of The Alps.The mountains, then the Alps and then the high plateau and gorges going on down to Provence were... read more spectacular. We loved the way the guide could slightly change the itinerary on the journey to suit the clientele and these changes obviously had the permission of Head Office. Our experiences were uniquely French ad a very satisfied group found the tour inspiring and educational. Thank you.
Amazing Greek Island Wanderer , MD, United States, Oct 2025
Kaitlyn was a great help booking and answering questions. She always answered email in a timely manner. I am planning another trip with Kaitlyn.
Upgraded walking tour of Pirtugal Upgraded - Walking in Portugal , ACT, Australia, Oct 2025
This was a very well organised itinerary with interesting content. The accommodation was good and well placed with easy access to the local town/village. The guide was excellent - a local of the area, willing to go the extra mile to ensure the group had an enjoyable experience both on the walks, after walk activities and on the free day.
