Intimate
These hugely enjoyable holidays, where group sizes are restricted to a maximum of 25 adults, but are usually comprised of 16‑20 participants, offer the opportunity to travel in smaller vehicles, enjoying experiences and encounters, and sometimes staying in wonderful smaller accommodation, denied to larger groups.
Real Lives
Whether it’s meeting a Keralan coconut farmer, South African fisherman or Andean island‑dweller, or discovering a corner of the world best explored in a smaller party, such as Kenya’s Maasai Mara, these holidays will lift the veil on some fascinating peoples.
Led by friendly, professional tour managers and local guides, some tours also feature some very special properties where the owners are happy to share their own experiences and culture with their guests.
Less-travelled Roads
Explore a corner of the world less travelled, return to a favourite destination and delve behind its monuments and natural wonders, or simply share a special experience with a smaller number of like‑ minded travellers, on these very special Small‑Group Tours.
