What are small group tours?

Discover the Joy of Small Group Tours

Are you seeking a travel experience that’s sociable, well organised, and rich in local knowledge? Our small group tours offer a fantastic way to explore new destinations alongside fellow travellers who share your curiosity and enthusiasm.

These tours run on scheduled departure dates and have limited availability. All you need to do is choose your preferred itinerary, secure your spot, and prepare for an unforgettable journey. It’s straightforward and stress-free. Travellers from around the world are welcome, and each tour is led by a local, English-speaking guide who brings deep regional insight to every step of the journey.

You’ll follow a carefully crafted itinerary that blends cultural highlights, lesser-known treasures, and time to unwind. With a group size typically capped at 12, you’ll enjoy more personal attention, shorter wait times, and meaningful connections with your guide and fellow travellers.


Booking Made Simple

To find the right tour for you, browse our group departure dates by selecting the month you’d like to travel. Alternatively, explore by destination using the Destinations tab and choose a country that sparks your interest.

While we don’t offer small group tours in every location, there’s no need to worry. Many of our tailor-made holidays can be just as budget-friendly, especially if you’re travelling with a partner or a few friends. Our experienced local travel advisors are based in every country where we operate, so you’ll always have expert support throughout your journey.

Planning your trip is easy. Once you’ve selected your tour, we’ll handle the logistics. You can focus on enjoying the experience, knowing that everything is arranged with care and attention to detail.


Why Travel on a Small Group Tour?

Choosing a small group tour comes with a range of benefits that enhance your travel experience:

  • Local insight: Your guide is from the region and shares knowledge that only a local can offer.
  • Authentic experiences: Avoid the crowds and discover places that reflect the true character of your destination.
  • Social yet flexible: Enjoy the company of others while still having space to relax and explore independently.
  • Stress-free travel: With everything organised in advance, you can simply arrive and enjoy the journey.

Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner, or as part of a small group of friends, these tours offer a brilliant way to see the world. You’ll gain confidence, build connections, and experience a sense of adventure that’s both enriching and accessible.

Designed for Connection and Comfort

Travelling in a small group allows for a more intimate and rewarding experience. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, share stories, and learn from your guide and fellow travellers. The smaller group size also means you can visit places that larger groups might miss, such as family-run restaurants, local workshops, and community-led initiatives.

Our itineraries are designed to strike a balance between guided activities and free time. You’ll have opportunities to explore independently, relax at your own pace, or join optional excursions that suit your interests. This flexibility ensures that your trip feels personal and fulfilling.

We believe that travel should be inclusive and respectful. Our tours are created with input from local communities and aim to support sustainable tourism practices. By travelling with us, you’re contributing to a positive impact in the places you visit.

What We Mean by Small Group Tours

At Our Local Tour, a small group truly means small. Most of our tours are limited to just 12 travellers, often fewer, creating a more personal, relaxed, and immersive experience. You won’t find yourself in a crowd of 30 people or rushed from one site to the next. Instead, you’ll enjoy the kind of flexibility and attention that only small groups can provide.

Some companies advertise “small group” travel, yet their groups may include 25 or more participants. That’s nearly triple the size of ours. By keeping numbers low, we reduce time spent queuing, checking in, or waiting around. This means more time to explore, engage, and enjoy your surroundings.

Smaller groups also allow for smoother logistics, easier access to local experiences, and a more comfortable pace. You’ll be able to ask questions, interact with your guide, and connect with fellow travellers in a way that’s simply not possible in larger groups.


Who Joins Our Small Group Tours?

Our tours attract a diverse mix of travellers. You might be exploring with solo adventurers, couples, friends, or families with adult children. Whether you’re joining a cultural journey, a wildlife safari, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, you’ll be travelling with people who value authentic experiences and meaningful connections.

Small group sizes help foster a sense of camaraderie. You’ll share meals, stories, and moments with others who are just as curious about the world. Along the way, you’ll meet local people, visit community-led projects, and gain insight into the places you explore.

Your guide plays a key role in this experience. As a local expert, they bring their region to life with knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm. They’re not just there to lead the way, they are there to share their world with you.


Age and Accessibility

We welcome travellers aged 18 and over on our small group tours. There’s no upper age limit, just a shared spirit of adventure. If you’re travelling with younger children, we’d be happy to arrange a private tour tailored to your family’s needs. These can be designed with the flexibility and pace that suits you best.

Accessibility is important to us. If you have specific requirements, we’ll work with you to ensure your journey is comfortable and inclusive. Our team is here to help you travel with confidence, no matter your background or experience.
