Our small group size allows us to take you off the beaten path and immerse you in local culture .
Designed with Small Groups in Mind
Our itineraries offer a balance of daily discoveries and people-topeople interactions with the flexibility to go off on your own for independent exploring . Our small group size also lets us stay in smaller lodgings , away from the big tour groups .
Intimate People-to-People Connections
When you travel in a small group , you ’ ll meet locals where they work , shop , and live . From visiting a family-owned farm to sitting down to a Home-Hosted meal , we ’ ve crafted each itinerary to make the most of our small group advantage .
Journey Off the Beaten Path
To see the world like the locals , you should travel like one . Our small group size allows us to take the roads — and waterways — less traveled . So you may find yourself on anything from trolleys and trains to camels and canoes — whatever it takes to reach the heart and soul of a destination .
Local Trip Experience Leaders
