Small group tours: Frequently Asked Questions

Planning your dream vacation to Europe should be exciting, not confusing. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about our all-inclusive guided tour packages to help you feel completely confident before you book.

Why Choose Our Small Group Tours?

We specialize in creating the perfect balance of immersive discovery and effortless travel.

  • Intimate Access: With groups of 20 or fewer, we escape the crowds. You’ll enjoy serene moments at ancient sites, meals at local family tables, and the camaraderie of like-minded travelers.
  • Curated Depth, Not Checklists: Our expert local guides are master storytellers who bring history and culture to life. Our itineraries smartly blend iconic sights with authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
  • Seamless Experience: We handle all logistics—from boutique hotels and private transport to priority access and curated meals. You simply relax and immerse yourself in the journey.

We offer the freedom and connection of independent travel, with the insight, access, and ease that only a dedicated small-group journey can provide.

What truly sets your small group tours apart from a DIY trip or a large tour group?

It’s the synthesis of access, insight, and community. Unlike a DIY trip, you gain the profound context of our local experts and skip-the-line access to major sites, saving you countless hours of planning and waiting. Unlike a large coach tour, our small size grants agility for unique experiences and fosters a shared, intimate journey. We remove the friction and uncertainty of travel, leaving you with the pure joy of discovery and the connections that make it meaningful.

Are meals and entrance fees included?

Daily breakfast is always included if your departure flight time permits. Many lunches and dinners are also included, as specified in each itinerary. All entrance fees to attractions and sights mentioned in the tour itinerary are covered.

Are meals included, and will I experience the local cuisine?

We include daily breakfasts and many curated lunches or dinners, all chosen to be a highlight of the cultural experience. We skip generic tourist restaurants in favor of authentic local cuisine: a seafood feast at a family-owned taverna on the Greek coast, a tapas crawl in a Madrid neighborhood, or a traditional meal in a Moroccan riad. We also ensure you have free time and recommendations to explore culinary delights on your own, catering to all dietary preferences.

What is the physical activity level of your tours?

Our tours are rated as moderate. They involve a fair amount of walking on sometimes uneven surfaces (like cobblestone streets). While we plan comfortable pacing, a general level of fitness is recommended. We can often advise on specific tours that are less demanding.

Is travel insurance required, and do you offer it?

For your protection, we strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance. It covers unforeseen events like trip cancellation, medical emergencies, and lost luggage. We can provide information on reputable travel insurance providers such as Generali Insurance. Click here to get a quote.

What are the most popular destinations for first-time travelers to Europe?

Our most booked packages for first-timers are our Italian Discovery, Spain in Style, Best of France, Anatolian Civilizations, Best of Greece and Best of Italy and Greece with 4-day cruise, and Best of Turkey and Greece with 3 day cruise tours. They offer a perfect blend of iconic sights, rich culture, and stunning scenery.

Who typically joins these tours? Will I fit in?

Our tours attract a diverse mix of curious, culturally-minded travelers united by a desire for deeper exploration. You’ll find solo adventurers, couples, and friends, typically ranging from their 30s to active retirees. The common thread is a shared spirit of discovery and openness to new experiences. The small group size naturally fosters quick connections, and many guests find that the shared adventures lead to lasting friendships. If you value storytelling over just sightseeing, you’ll fit right in.

How much free time is included? Is the schedule rigid?

We deliberately design our itineraries with a vital balance of guided experience and personal exploration. While we handle the core logistics and must-see sights with expert guides, we build in generous free time—an afternoon to wander a medieval village, an evening to discover your own favorite café, or a morning to relax at leisure. The schedule is thoughtfully structured, not rigid; it’s a curated framework that empowers your discovery, not confines it.

How do you handle accommodations and transportation?

We prioritize character and location. You’ll stay in distinctive, centrally-located hotels or boutique lodgings that reflect the region’s charm, putting you in the heart of the action. Between destinations, we travel via private, comfortable mini-coaches, scenic ferries, or high-speed trains—turning travel time into part of the adventure. This seamless, private transport is a key advantage, allowing for flexibility and stops at fascinating roadside gems you’d miss on public transit.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we do. We understand that a dream vacation is an investment. We offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to secure your booking with a deposit and pay the balance in installments leading up to your departure.
