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.

Bypass the autostradas and travel the country roads of Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast and learn to cook delicious family recipes in the kitchens that perfected them.

Safari in Africa

Enjoy game drives in dedicated small vehicles, stay in intimate camps or boutique luxury lodges, and be moved by special wildlife encounters made possible on a small group safari.

4WD Outback Australia

Take a small group adventure across the vast lands of Australia, staying in wilderness lodges, venturing to remote regions often inaccessible to traditionally larger coaches, and learning from local Indigenous guides.

Stay with the Locals

From the hilltribes of Northern Thailand and the reindeer herders of remote Russia, to the Ger Camps of Mongolia and a homestay on the banks of Lake Titicaca, you’ll get a unique insight into different cultures.

Outback Contrasts - Fantastic Tour Megan and Russell, NSW, Australia, Sep 2023

Had so many highlights on this tour, it's hard to single one out. Uluru and Kings Canyon would have to be up there. Seeing Uluru both at sunset and sunrise was fantastic, as was the 'Under a Desert Moon' degustion dinner and completing the rim walk at Kings Canyon. Our Outback BBQ dinner on the last night was a fabulous way to wrap up this amazing ...read more

Intrepid Split to Lake Bled tour Anitra, Diane and Peter, New Zealand, Sep 2023

This trip was not suitable for us. The accommodation was hostel quality and the beds very uncomfortable. Our tour leader was great and very knowledgeable but I did not need 2 hours orientation at each town. There was very little transport provided and arrived in Lake Bled at 10pm after taking the train, two buses and a shuttle to get there. Also I ...read more

Emerald Isle Therese and Paul, NSW, Australia, Sep 2023

What a fabulous 13 days! We covered so much of Ireland from top to bottom. What a great bunch of people to travel with from the tour leader, driver and fellow passengers. We learnt so much of the Irish History & Culture and many on board were able to connect with their ancestral heritage. Accomodation and meals provided were excellent. Would highly ...read more

Exploring the Baltics Charlene, QLD, Australia, Sep 2023

This was an extremely informative and interesting tour. Our Tour Leader Ona was exceptional in her assistance and knowledge. I would definitely recommend this tour.
