Looking for a travel experience that’s social, seamless, and full of local insight? Our small group tours are the perfect way to explore a destination with like-minded travellers.
These are scheduled departures with limited spaces, so all you need to do is choose your tour, book your place, and get ready for an adventure. It’s that simple. Our tours are open to travellers from all over the world, and they’re led by local, English-speaking guides who know their region inside out.
Each tour follows a thoughtfully designed itinerary that balances cultural highlights, hidden gems, and time to relax. You’ll travel in a small group, usually no more than 12 people, which means more personal attention, less waiting around, and a chance to really connect with your guide and fellow travellers.
How to Book
You can browse our group departure dates by selecting the month you’d like to travel. Or, if you prefer to explore by destination, head to the Destinations tab and choose a country that inspires you.
We don’t offer group tours in every destination, but don’t worry. Many of our tailor-made holidays can be just as cost-effective, especially if you’re travelling with a partner or a small group of friends. And with our expert local travel advisors in every country, you’ll always be in safe hands.
Why Choose a Small Group Tour?
- Local expertise: Your guide is from the region and knows it like a local should.
- Authentic experiences: Skip the tourist traps and discover the real culture.
- Social but relaxed: Travel with others, but still enjoy your own space.
- Hassle-free: Everything’s organised, just turn up and enjoy.
Whether you’re a solo traveller, a couple, or a group of friends, our small group tours offer a brilliant way to explore the world with confidence, connection, and a touch of adventure.

What We Mean by “Small Group” Tours
At Our Local Tour, when we say small group, we really mean it. Our tours are capped at just 16 travellers, ensuring a more personal, relaxed, and immersive experience. You won’t be lost in a coachload of 30 strangers or herded from site to site. Instead, you’ll enjoy the kind of attention and flexibility that only small groups can offer.
Some tour companies claim to offer “small group” travel, but their groups can be 25 or more. That’s nearly three times the size of ours. We keep things genuinely small so you can spend less time queuing, checking in, or waiting around, and more time actually exploring.
Who Travels on Our Small Group Tours?
Our tours attract a wonderful mix of travellers. Solo adventurers, couples, friends, and even families with grown-up children. Whether you’re joining a classical cultural holiday, a wildlife safari, or an off-the-beaten-path explorer trip, you’ll be travelling with people who share your curiosity and love for authentic experiences.
Small group sizes help foster a sense of camaraderie and connection, not just with fellow travellers, but with the places and people you meet along the way. You’ll share stories, meals, and moments, guided by a local expert who knows their region inside out.
Age & Accessibility
We welcome travellers aged 18 and over on our group tours. There’s no upper age limit, just a shared spirit of adventure. If you’re travelling with younger children, we’d be delighted to arrange a private tour tailored to your family’s needs, with the flexibility and pace that suits you best.
Why Choose a Small Group Tour with Us?
- Genuine small groups: No crowds, no chaos, just 16 people max. and often a maximum of just 12.
- Local guides: Passionate experts who bring their home to life.
- Authentic experiences: Travel that’s rooted in culture, not commercialism.
- Flexible & friendly: A relaxed pace and personal attention throughout.
So if you're ready to explore the world with a small group of like-minded travellers and a guide who feels more like a friend, Our Local Tour is ready to welcome you.
