Whether you’re travelling solo or with a friend, a small group tour offers the opportunity to travel safely and in like-minded company. With an average of around 12 to 16 people per group, all our tours are led by experienced, often local guides who will take you off the beaten track, to spots you’d find it hard to reach on your own. Most tours also include some free time for you to explore yourself. All group tours include accommodation (hotels, homestays, overnight trains) and transport during the tour (local buses, trains, boats or private minibus), plus some meals, so they’re a convenient way to see as much as possible and make it easy to budget for your trip.
