Do you want to take a vacation but prefer to skip all the stress of planning? With an escorted tour, you’ll get to sit back and relax as you enjoy pretty much everything already planned for you!
Best of all, we’ve taken traditional escorted tours and made them even better to be customized for smaller groups. To help inspire your next trip, here are some of the benefits of small group travel!
Limited to 21 people
Enjoy more intimate experiences with like-minded travelers on a small escorted tour where you’ll venture with a group of at most 21 people. A smaller group means you’ll more easily recognize members if you’re exploring on your own, as fewer travelers also mean more flexibility in your schedule!
More flexibility than traditional group tours
A smaller group means a smaller vehicle to drive around in, so you’ll be able to stop and explore more places than if you were in a larger vehicle. Not only that, but you also get a great balance of inclusions and free time to explore at your leisure, choose your own restaurants, and more. You’ll be able to see more places and have better photo ops! Plus, if something unforeseen happens, it’s much easier for a tour director to have backup plans for a smaller group.
Guaranteed departures
Unlike most traditional escorted tours, small group travel ensures guaranteed departures no matter how many people sign up (or don’t). This means you can book a small group trip with confidence while feeling secure in your travels.
More nights in each city (less unpacking!)
One of the best parts about a small group journey is that you’ll spend multiple nights in each city! Most traditional escorted tours have multiple one-night stays and loop back to the starting city, but small group trips have at least 2-3 nights in each location. You’ll have fewer hotel changes, less unpacking, and a good amount of time in each destination instead of having to rush through.
Centrally-located hotels
One of the best parts about small group journeys is that you’ll be staying in centrally-located hotels that are all at least 4 stars. Most traditional escorted groups stay in hotels that are outside the city centre, making it more difficult to explore in your free time. With centrally-located hotels, you’ll be able to feel secure during your leisure time as you’ll always be close to the hotel and within walking distance of many attractions.
Stress-free
With all flights, accommodations, transportation, major sightseeing, and many meals taken care of, you can sit back and relax while enjoying your trip. Plus, with a professional tour director, you can rest assured that you’re getting the most out of each experience. You’ll enjoy skip-the-line access to major sites, learn from a skilled guide, and feel secure knowing that your tour director can minimize any language barriers and navigate the safest routes.
Perfectly curated itineraries
Discover all the main attractions of a destination plus off-the-beaten-path spots only the locals know. Particularly great for first-time visitors to a destination, small group travel ensures all the best experiences in all the best places.
