Tour types

We run three different sorts of tours:  Small Group  I  Tailormade  I   Private

Small Group Tours

Keeping group sizes to a maximum of 12 people helps us to minimise our cultural and environmental ‘footprint’ in the regions and communities we visit. With a limited group size, interactions with local people not only happen more frequently but more naturally, ensuring a more intimate and authentic travel experience. This also creates a closer bond between travellers within the group, and gives us extra scope in terms of flexibility to accommodate individual needs and requirements during the trip. Finally, small groups mean easier access to our excellent guides, ensuring a more rounded travel experience. On just a handful of clearly stated itineraries, the maximum number may exceed 12 persons.

Our scheduled small group departures ‒ an exciting range of over seventy different itineraries ‒ depart on pre-determined dates. We realise however that our departures might not suit everyone; so if you cannot make our scheduled trip, let us know your ideal dates and we will try our best to put a group together accordingly. This is often possible with sufficient advance notice. You have nothing to lose by enquiring. 

Tailormade Tours

Tailormade can mean anything from an extra night in a hotel or an additional short excursion at the start or end of a small group trip to a complete itinerary tailored to your requirements. Our tailormade tours are surprisingly affordable and we also cater for all special occasions - birthdays, honeymoons, anniversaries and more. Researching a tailormade tour can seem overwhelming - potentially there are so many options and places to visit. Yet it need not be. Browse some of our group tours for ideas. These tours have been optimised for the most efficient and rewarding travel experience without being too rushed; so they are an ideal starting point for designing your own private tour. Sections of our standard tours can also be adapted without needing to take the whole tour. Look through the tailormade options in the relevant country section in this brochure or on our website and see which, if any, of these ideas might be of interest. 

Having developed an idea of what each destination offers and a general sense of your main interests, please contact us - by phone, email or by filling out your requirements here. We will use our expertise to design a tour to meet your requirements, suggesting sites and activities that match your plans and interests. It might take a few drafts to perfect but we will keep revising and tweaking until you are happy with it.

We are happy to discuss your plans at any stage, so even if you have only started to think tentatively about a new destination we can readily help guide you towards suitable regions and experiences.
