Transport
Never worry about how you are getting from point A to point B. On Small Group Tours, travel where the large coaches can’t with a smaller, modern coach to allow for a comfortable experience.
Sightseeing
Small Group Tours ensure you’ll never miss out on key sightseeing in each country, plus the lesser-seen spots for a more immersive experience. Enhance your tour with Inspiring Sights, a selection of bonus sightseeing to choose from.
Meals
Daily breakfast included, with a good number (up to 40%) of group lunches and dinners. Small Group Tours include one cultural, historic, or iconic food experience. This could be a cooking demonstration in Hoi An, caviar and sparkling wine in Norway, or a meal cooked by a monk in Japan.
Comfort
Small Group hotels offer a safe and comfortable base. These tours include one Inspiring Stay, an authentic experience unique to the region. This might be a glass igloo in Norway or an eco-lodge in the Amazon Jungle. Averaging 4-star stays in most destinations, with select 5-star stays.
