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

Classic Baltic States with Intrepid     , VIC, Australia, Jul 2025
This was an 8 day/7 night guided, small group tour of the 3 Baltic States and it was great fun as well as being very interesting. There were 10 peeps plus a very informative and helpful tour leader with our ages varying from early 30s to one 70+ year old (me). The group melded well and we had a lot of laughs. Accommodation hotels were all good and ...read more a couple a bit quirky. Transport varied between dedicated comfortable van to public luxury coaches and ferries, all of which were excellent. Our leader was very informative and the 3 capital cities great destinations. Overall this was an excellent trip.
Rome to Barcelona Tour   , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
Fairly fast paced wish we had more time in some places but overall a good length to see and experience enough of nice summer spots in Europe. Accomodations were clean 2 were too small for 6 girls in 1 room. Guide was very open and communicative and easy way to not stress about making your own travel arrangements.
Bad coach   , ACT, Australia, Jul 2025
Driver and Tour Director were good, but the condition of the coach was really bad as the AC was not fully functional with high temperatures recorded during the tour, all passengers were sweating as they came out of a steam bath. Would be my first and last trip if managed by Explore UK.
Explore! - Botswana Wildlife Adventure June/July 2025     , QLD, Australia, Jun 2025
I've made about ten bookings through Global Journeys, and as I keep going back to them, they must be doing something right! As usual, Hannah handled my booking request and questions promptly and professionally. This was my first booking with Explore! as their itinerary included a number of game drives around the Okavango Delta, including two nights ...read more on the Okavango Rivers itself. I was a little anxious about the five nights of 'wild camping'; but, although basic facilities, this turned out to be an adventurous highlight. The other styles of included accommodation were fantastic. The meals served during our camping adventure, and during our stay on the houseboat, were outstanding. I can't say enough about our tour leader/guide Bibi, who was also our driver, and the supporting camp/houseboat staff; they deserve a medal. We were blessed with fantastic weather and wildlife sightings. I can't think of any negatives of my adventure. I would definitely consider travelling again with Explore!
