Experience the best of any destination with an intimate group tour. Everything is taken care of for you – flights, accommodation, major sightseeing tours and most meals will all be covered – giving you an unparalleled authentic experience.
Luxury small group tours feature up to 18 travelers and offer exclusive, tailor-made experiences with experienced local guides and customized activities that ensure an unforgettable journey.
1. More Freedom 
Small group tours have quickly become the go-to choice among travelers because they provide more freedom than an escorted tour does. Your Travel Director will ensure that all your needs are met, providing more options that match up with your personal travel style.
By traveling by coach group, it’s possible to create the ideal blend between planned activities and free time for yourself – as well as authentic local interactions among group members – while discovering off-the-beaten-path destinations with stylish hotels and culturally inspired experiences that take advantage of being with others in a smaller group. All of which combine into unforgettable memories!
2. More Safety
While group tours typically cost less than private ones, tour organizers still need to cover costs associated with renting special vehicles or accommodations and may increase the tour’s price to account for these additional expenses.
Large group tours often rely on mass tourism and come with large groups and limited itinerary customization options; this may frustrate those looking for a more authentic travel experience.
Abercrombie and Kent, Classic Journeys and Tauck’s Culturious provide small luxury group tours for 12-18 travelers so that they can experience luxurious travel firsthand. You will stay in quality hotels while accessing sites before crowds arrive – creating a luxurious travel experience.
3. More Fun
Group tours can add extra fun and adventure to any vacation by providing exclusive extras you won’t find when traveling solo. Tuk-tuk rides with Goway’s Downunder & India or private access to museums through Abercrombie & Kent can add excitement and anticipation for an exciting vacation, especially when taking you to sights before crowds arrive!
On these excursions, you’ll experience boutique accommodation and small groups – perfect for exploring rural roads that large coach tours cannot reach; trekking tall mountains; following in the footsteps of Incas on Peruvian safari; Tauck’s Culturious trips are another fantastic choice with hands-on experiences for inquisitive travelers, culturally inspired itineraries; while Best of France Travel’s French Small Group Tour to Southern Brittany & Golfe du Morbihan provides access to villages where Monet, Renoir and other iconic artists found inspiration;
4. More Customization 
An astute traveler strives to see more than the obvious attractions. They wish to dine like locals (sometimes even being invited into their homes) and, where possible, try and skip queues.
Some luxury tour companies will customize a small group itinerary to your exact preferences, making sure all current COVID-19 measures can be followed and may offer a flexible cancellation policy.
Abercrombie and Kent offers tours with maximum group sizes of 18 people. In place of buses, they use smaller vehicles such as tuk-tuks or smaller coaches to access sites before crowds arrive and adds to an intimate touring experience. Furthermore, their boutique hotels give off an air of authenticity which sets them apart.
5. More Local Knowledge
Small groups are better able to explore lesser known villages and off the beaten path sites that larger coach tours simply can’t access. Staying in boutique accommodation creates a more authentic cultural experience while they linger longer over places of interest and interact with knowledgeable guides who offer their tips.
On a tour through France’s Perigord region, for instance, you will encounter stunning castles astride the valley and picturesque medieval villages that inspired artists like Monet. Additionally, you will sample world-famous wine of Bordeaux while discovering more of this elegant town’s history and heritage.
Abercrombie and Kent provides trips that allow travelers to interact with the people rather than simply view sites – an added value that makes your experience truly special.
