Discover the world through local eyes. Our selection of set-date, escorted small group tours offers the perfect balance of structured local leadership and spontaneous exploration. Leave the ordinary routes behind and unlock hidden gems that traditional guidebooks completely overlook.
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.
