At Our Local Tour when we talk about our ‘small’ group tours, we mean it. Our maximum group size is just 12 people. This means that when you travel, you’re not lost in a coachload of people and can get the personal attention that you deserve. You will see some tour operators talk about ‘small groups’ but then they have an average of 16 people or even more per tour. That is double the average on one of our tours.

With fewer travellers in our groups, you’ll spend less time checking into hotels and getting on (and off) transport, and more time seeing the sights

In many cases we only offer one or two group departures of an itinerary every year. This helps to minimise any negative impact on local communities and reduces use of local resources.

Who travels on a Small Group Tour?

Our Local Tour group trips are perfect for solo travellers as they provide the reassurance of travelling with a small group. Our small group tours are equally suited to couples, friends, and families. Anyone with adventure in their heart! Small group sizes help to create a sense of camaraderie and allow for closer connections to the places and people you visit.

Take a small group escorted tour with us and you'll be joined by like-minded travel companions to share the journey with, as well as a local tour leader with in-depth knowledge of your destination.

We do not have an upper age limit but ask that all travellers on our group tours be aged over 18. If you are a family with younger children then we can happily arrange a private tour for you, with the flexibility that we know families require.

Travelling Solo. Travelling Together.


Solo travellers are welcome on all our small group tours. The maths means that there is always a small supplement to pay when travelling on your own. The cost of a room divided by two is always less than when divided by one!

To try and mitigate any unnecessary costs, if you are happy to share and we have another same sex traveller wishing to share, we will pair you up with a roommate to ensure you get the same price.

Of course, if you would prefer your own room while on tour, that is fine. We have agreed with our local partners to offer all single rooms at cost, so the single supplement is as low as it can be.

Group tours work for me as a single traveller. I get to continue my explorations while meeting new friends.
