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.

Intro Travel
Since 2005, we’ve been creating life changing travel experiences for 18-40+ year olds. Our group tours are designed to help you connect, explore, taste...more and give back to the world, all whilst making a new crew of mates along the way. We’re a little different to your standard big tour operator. We spend endless hours finding the best accommodation and the best experiences, many of which we create from scratch with our local partners to give you a truly unique experience. While our trips are laid back and relaxed with plenty of time to do your own thing, we don’t pad out our itineraries with loads of free time to explore or optional activities like other operators. Everything you'd want plus some special surprises are always included.

Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their small group touring experiences

Walk Hadrians wall   , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
A well organised trip with careful planning for each of the days walks. Our guide, Joe, was exceptional. Would recommend if you like walking, but not carrying luggage.
A great short tour   , South Australia, Australia, Jun 2025
This was our first visit to these 4 capitals and we were very happy with the Bunnik tour. Our tour Director, Klemen, was outstanding. The Bunnik itinerary was flexible so we could add in extra stops without rushing the scheduled visits. We could do as much or as little walking as we wanted as Klemen always gave us options. Our tour had only 8 travellers ...read more so all our stops were much more efficient than would have been on a larger group. We combined this tour with a 20 day Bunnik ‘Jewels of Dalmatia’ tour of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. We can definitely recommend both these tours.
Disappointed   , WA, Australia, Jun 2025
We found the trip a bit of a disappointment, the accommodation was fantastic near or in the Game Reserve, the food was good with 3 meals a day with a large variety to choose from and the 6 seater 4x4 with lifting roof where comfortable and allowed all of us to have a great view and get great shots. Ours and fellow travelers disappointed was that most ...read more drives were only 2 hours and the 4x4 were not aquipped with radio to communicate with other vehicles and seemed to drive a set route, we were told one day we were not looking for big cats as the agenda said elephants. Also our tour guide moved between both vehicles each day but spent most of it talking to the driver. While it was a great experience going to these amazing locations I’d probably choose another provider for our next adventure in Africa.
Memorable visit to Peru for Inti Raymi festival     , ACT, Australia, Jun 2025
I highly recommend travelling with Explore as our local tour leader Arturo ensured every aspect of our visit was enjoyable and memorable. Arturo was the ultimate professional making sure our stay was trouble free and his passion for his work and Peru left a lasting impression on the group. All the accommodation, transport, meals and access to sites ...read more exceeded expectations as Arturo ensured that each moment was spent soaking up the atmosphere and learning about Peruvian history, culture and heritage without any worries or concerns.

The local guides, staff and people were very friendly and hospitable towards us with many happy moments spent sampling the local cuisine and beverages in the restaurants, cafes and with locals such as at Lake Titicaca and Maras.
Its easy to recommend the well known sites such as Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu but visiting Arequipa with its many churches, volcanoes and traditional markets was memorable as was the day trip to Ollantaytambo town and archaeological site in the nearby hills.

Add to that Raqchi and the Sun Temple, Colca Canyon and Valley with its condors and hawks, there was plenty to see for all types of visitors that it would be unfair to single out one particular moment or experience. Attending both Corpus Christi and Inti Raymi festivities was an eye opening experience getting to witness a mixture of religious practices and soaking in the atmosphere and warm weather with thousands of people left you deeply emotional and excited.

I look forward to returning in the not so distant future to see the extra places on offer and partake in the additional Amazon visit as the those who were lucky enough to visit had a fun time living it up seeing the beautiful scenery and witnessing exotic animals in a safe environment. Thanks Explore and Global Journeys for a life changing trip!
