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.

Kimberly adventure APT   , QLD, Australia, May 2025
What an amazing holiday, adventure experience we had. It was a last minute decision and it was a first time booking with Global Journeys and APT. Professionalism from beginning to end, my dietary requirements were never a problem and I had fantastic meals. The outback gorges, landscape, travel comfort, ,cuisine, wilderness lodges, wildlife and swimming ...read more experiences were top class. Our guides Hilary and Simon were fantastic, we were in very capable hands and their knowledge and passion just shines. All in all extremely happy and we had a great group of travelling companions.

My sister and I have just returned from Europe after doing this tour. We loved it with the highlights being Lake Bled in Slovenia and Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. Hannah looked after us very well (as usual)!
Excellent Trip with efficient Efficient Tour Director   , NSW, Australia, May 2025
Beautiful little Villages South of France. Much nicer than visiting large cities. A nice full length coach with only 40 seats provided ample space for the 22 participants. The fast train travelling up to 320 kph was a nice inclusion. Excellent hotels included. Krista our Tour Director was excellent.
