Small Groups

Premium Small Group Tours

To enhance your holiday experience, all our European and UK tours are now smaller groups. This means you'll enjoy more unique excursions and stay at hotels a larger group wouldn't be able to. You'll also get to spend more time with your Tour Manager, benefitting from their experience and passion for travel as you explore with new friends.

Enhanced, Experience-led Itineraries

We know the best holidays are filled with immersive experiences that allow you to soak in the culture of your destination. With a smaller group, we can include excursions that not every tourist gets to enjoy. Explore the Vatican after hours on a private tour, go truffle hunting in Umbria or sip wines cultivated on the fertile slopes of Europe's most active volcano.

Experience Life as a Local

There's no better way to explore than with a local. They know all the best stories about their hometown, as well as the hidden nooks and crannies most people would miss on their own or in a larger group. Our local tour guides bring history to life right before your eyes, their passion, knowledge and people skills making for a truly engaging experience.

Small groups, winners year after year

Your feedback is essential in making our holidays even better, and one thing you were sure about was that less is more. Smaller group sizes have been successful year after year and are just as sociable an experience, if not more so, than if there were more people. You'll get more one on one time with your Tour Manager and find it easier to get to know your group.

Discover why premium small group tours are so rewarding

The best of both worlds, in a smaller group, you'll have a Tour Manager looking out for you throughout your holiday, just like our larger groups would, while also getting extra time to benefit from their hands-on expertise. You'll get a more in-depth insight into the cultures and traditions of the places you visit with locally-led tours that everyone can get involved in, excursions to sites not big enough for larger groups, and accommodation at unique or boutique hotels. There'll also be the chance to explore your way, with a more sedate pace set for viewing the attractions. On trains, it'll be easier to get a window seat and admire the views, while you and your new friends will be able to stay together yet still socially distance.

5 stars
“The tour was interesting and varied. The places visited had good local guides to show us around and we had sufficient free time to enjoy the places further. The Hotel was extremely comfortable and ideally located for access to the Citadel of Carcassonne. Our tour manager, Paul Robson, was excellent and ensured our enjoyment and safety throughout our stay. My only complaint was that he was given my late husbands contact details to enable him to provide additional information on the trip. I did not realise this until I had returned home and found the messages on my husband's phone. This meant that I missed details that were important. Obviously John's details were not included on my booking form but must be held on your database somehow. Please ensure this cannot happen again as it caused me distress and could have disrupted my tour.

“From start to finish the trip was well planned. The administration was comprehensive and helpful. The tour guide contacted each traveller before the journey commenced and provided lots of additional itinerary information and advice. The hotels were good and the itinerary did not disappoint. There were a couple of free days but with optional choices for those seeking more trips. The company app was very useful: it had weather information, currency conversions, hotel locations and much more. The other travellers were great fun and we had a wonderful time. The scenery was amazing and the trip was an absolute pleasure, which we recommend highly to others.
