Let’s talk about BIG vacation memories with SMALL groups!
Have you considered traveling with your family on a small group tour? I get some pushback at times from families that aren’t sure this travel style is right for them. I’ve heard concerns and feedback and I want to help clarify some information surrounding small group travel and *maybe* even encourage you to consider it for your next family adventure!
If you are already a fan of small group travel I would love to hear your feedback and what the destinations were that you traveled to on our tour!
Not gonna lie, I was a small group tour skeptic before my first trip. Let me share my experience and honest feedback!
I will admit, before I went on my first small group tour I was worried about the structure and not having my own free time, I was also concerned about the group make up and if I would have people to get along with, and of course the cost associated with the small group tour and if I would be getting a good value for my investment.
BUT! I was very happily surprised that those issues were NOT an issue!
Structure and lack of flexibility –> Itineraries are thoughtfully designed with a mix of activities and free time so families can enjoy some interesting tours and experiences, but also have time to explore and relax on their own. The tour operators have done these tours before and they know when families need a break and when it’s worth putting in the time for a great tour.
Group dynamics and other travelers –> Small group tours naturally attract a specific traveler and travel type. I will match you to the best supplier for your group. If you are traveling as a family with kids I will match you to tour groups that have other families with kids. If you’re traveling as a retired couple that is looking for a more elevated experience I will match you with a group that is made of similar travelers.
Cost and value –> Small group tours feel very “all inclusive” (with a few exceptions, depending on which supplier you’re working with). With small group tours you will have your hotel, all transfers, most tours, some meals, and often times any tips or gratuities for tour guides already included in your prepaid cost. This makes your travel seamless so you don’t have to worry about how you’re getting from one place to the next, what will happen with your luggage while you’re on tour, etc. No more dragging your luggage through the streets of Paris to get from your hotel to the train station to get to the airport!
