Small group tours are an exciting way to see a country and can take you to areas which are much harder to get to on your own. These tours can include hiking and cycling adventures, cultural discoveries of famous ruins and historic cities, or wildlife and nature viewings. Some tours even combine it all.
It can also be an inexpensive way to travel. Escorted by a Tour Leader, the style and type of holiday may range from grass roots up to 5 star, travelling in private or local transport - there are countless options to choose from. Group ages vary between 20 and 80, with 10 or so like-minded travellers. Many solos and couples choose to travel in small groups.
