Most of our tours have a maximum size of 8-10, and on average size of 6. This is much smaller than most group tours – something that we prefer and our clients appreciate. Small groups allow for flexibility and spontaneity, enable us to stay in boutique hotels, and create a more personalised atmosphere.
Our tour leaders are chosen not just for their knowledge and experience but for their friendly manner that helps everyone relax and have fun.
Our tours are led by knowledgeable, English-speaking Tour Leaders and Guides, available to you 24/7. Our tour leaders explain history, interpret cultures, decipher menus and seek out extra treats, while at all times ensuring that everyone’s comfortable and the tour runs smoothly.
It's generally more affordable to travel in a group compared to travelling by yourself.
Our group tours are perfect for Solo travellers, providing comfort and safety if you’re hesitant to travel alone, or just prefer some company.
We also have special 'Exclusively Solo' tours, with no single supplements.
We stay at places that add to the experience, such as small boutique hotels, owner-run heritage havelis and palaces, houseboats or tented camps in deserts or wilderness areas.
With our small group sizes, we use small comfortable air conditioned vehicles, making it easier to travel off the beaten track. We use trains for enhancing the experience or convenience. We only use domestic flights where absolutely necessary to keep our tours green.
Breakfast is almost always included on our tours. When staying in cities, the tour leader is always at hand to help choose hygienic, authentic street food and restaurants. Eating out spreads the benefit of tourism wider into local communities while enriching your travels.
We provide a detailed list of what is included and not included in the tour price.
Personalise your holiday by adding extensions at either end of the tour.
Our tours do not bundle in flights, giving you the flexibility to choose airlines and routes.
