Small Luxury Group Tours provide the best of both worlds: planned experiences with ample room for improvisation. Furthermore, this type of trip allows travelers to meet others traveling like them and form connections among peers.
Discover the world on a premium small group tour, staying in distinctive hotels and exploring with Indigenous guides from remote bush lodges to hill tribe villages. Experience first-hand their rich culture.
More Personal Attention
Small Luxury Group Tours tend to provide more intimate travel experiences than more extensive tours with up to 60 travelers on one bus with one guide. You may even be welcomed into a local family’s home and experience daily life first-hand, join an Italian chef in cooking lessons; or go the off-beaten path and witness wild gorillas in Uganda!
Your tour leader will have strong relationships with locals, giving them exclusive private access to sites and events and exclusive experiences not open to the general public. For example, Abercrombie & Kent offers luxury small group tours limited to 18 people maximum. He uses unique hotels and transport that won’t accommodate larger groups, such as tuk-tuks in India.
Connections Journeys are more extensive trips that leverage local guides to look deeper into each destination. Furthermore, these experts can quickly alter your itinerary on the fly should something arise, such as cultural performances or events that would appeal to the group.
More Time to Explore
With fewer travelers, transportation and hotel check-in time will take less time, giving more of your trip to experiencing its sights – Rome’s Vatican Museums, Dubrovnik’s fairytale walls, or sipping wine from local vineyards.
Your luxury group tour guide knows your destination inside-out. It can point out attractions that may not appear in any tour book – such as where to find the best gelato shop or charming eateries hidden away in small villages.
Abercrombie & Kent recently unveiled its newest product line called Connections Journeys, which provides more extensive group tours similar to Small Group Journeys but more easily accessible—utilizing A&K’s experienced tour guides for this immersive travel experience. This immersive approach draws travelers deeper into each destination.
Better Value for Money
Travel Nation works with several luxury tour operators that provide exceptional value. They feature guaranteed tour prices (no price increases due to “market fluctuations”), flexible cancellation policies, and freebies such as earplugs and tour books; meals included as part of their pricing; local transportation and sightseeing fees are among their offerings.
Smaller group sizes enable tour companies to negotiate better deals with suppliers and gain entry to locations more difficult for large coach groups to access. Abercrombie & Kent, for instance, has been operating luxury tours for 96 years across three generations with maximum group sizes of 18 people at any one time – staying in boutique hotels, engaging in immersive cultural experiences such as learning how to cook traditional family recipes from locals themselves, and visiting famous sights before crowds arrive are among their hallmarks of excellence.
G Adventures exceeds even our high expectations with their stunning selection of affordable small group tours that connect travelers to our planet’s cultures, landscapes, and wildlife – and, like all tour operators partners we work with, take responsible tourism seriously.
More Freedom
As more travelers return to travel, tour operators are providing them with numerous options – one being small groups and private departures.
Best of France Travels offers luxury group tours for no more than 16 guests at any time, providing an intimate experience and guaranteeing all participants receive window seats.
Abercrombie and Kent offer smaller luxury groups an intimate touring experience of 18 people or less, enabling them to access sites and hotels unavailable to larger groups and VIP entrances at top attractions.
&Beyond’s small group journeys allow you to travel across Africa, Asia, and South America with like-minded safari enthusiasts on an itinerary set by expert guides. Stay in luxurious accommodations while taking time for relaxation and rejuvenation. This touring style is a unique way to see more while having plenty of time for peace and restorative rest.
