The Difference Local Access Makes When you travel with A&K, we don’t just take you to the front of the line, we take you into the rooms in the palace not typically open to visitors, on an exclusive tour with the best historian in the region. This kind of unencumbered access to the authentic heart and soul of a place - to the people and sites that exist far beyond the reach of the average traveller - is something we pride ourselves on and ensure we deliver on every journey we create, whether to the world’s most iconic, or to more off-the-beaten track destinations.
It is unequivocally what sets A&K apart from any competitor. And it has everything to do with our extensive and long-established connections throughout every locale in which we operate.

Itineraries Only Possible With a Small Group A&K’s small groups rarely number more than 13 guests on average, and no more than 18, meaning you travel in a like-minded group at a pace that suits you all. It also means more one-on-one interaction with your Resident Tour Director and expert local guides, getting to know them for the insightful, dedicated travelling companions they are.
A small group size lets us craft journeys that are seamlessly orchestrated and packed with the insider access opportunities that are A&K’s hallmark. Many of your journey’s most memorable activities - whether a visit to a local family’s home or a guided tour of a private art gallery - are only possible with a smaller group.
Small groups also enable A&K to reserve one-of-a-kind accommodations, splendid hotels and luxury camps that can’t house the typically larger groups that travel with other companies.

Are gratuities included?
All of your gratuities (e.g. hotel and airport porterage, guide and restaurant tips) are included, except for your Resident Tour Director tip, which is included only on 'Limited Edition Small Group Journeys' & 'Wings Over the World' journeys. Also note that some Australia & New Zealand small group journeys do not include tipping.
I've heard about 'Travelling Bell Boy' and 'Traveller’s Valet' - what are they?
With A&K’s exclusive Travelling Bell Boy service, you simply leave your packed bags behind in your room as you walk out the door and find them waiting inside your room at your next accommodation. A&K also offers you Traveller’s Valet which is a complimentary laundry service provided once per journey.
Do I need to organise transfers when I get to my destination?
Be truly escorted on every step of your journey with an airport meet and greet service on arrival and return private transfers to and from your first and last hotels regardless of when you choose to arrive or depart.
What level of accommodation should I expect?
For small group journeys, A&K select only the most remarkable hotels, boutique lodges and luxury small ships, each of which must combine superior service, local character and unanticipated luxuries. In many cases, their choice will be the undisputed local favourite, synonymous with five-star style, but the choice might also be a whispered secret, a better option, a small but perfectly-formed boutique property with a certain significant atmospheric, experiential or locational advantage.
