As more and more people seek a more personalised or enhanced holiday experience, the ‘tick off the major sights’ holiday is evolving and becoming more about an immersive connection to the life and culture of a destination. This is something small group touring does very well, and always has, and is increasingly on the radar for many savvy travellers.


Small group touring is all about the opportunity to encounter something unique about a destination you otherwise wouldn’t as an independent visitor - an authentic taste of local life paired with insider local knowledge. Yes, coach touring looks different these days, compared with 20 or so years ago, when the popularity of large coaches, filled to the brim with passengers and marking off all the major sights from early morning to late evening in a whirlwind tour, was the way to go. It’s no longer about days of gazing out the window at the passing scenery but rather a deeper insight into the destination via unique experiences, including dinner with a local family or cellar door tours with the winemakers, still carefully balanced with some all-important free time.


As the travel industry continues to evolve, new insights have become apparent. In the case of escorted holidays it is the development of renewed experiences and fresh perspectives as society looks to the reduction of human foot and motor traffic, globally. Many mass visited iconic world attractions and landscapes can be rested, revitalized or even restored to their original beauty. A low impact approach does wonders for our planet, as a result of our eco-friendly footprint, with small group touring a tick in the right direction.


There’s also the regular escorted group benefits of; everything being taken care of each day, the potential for new found friends, the peace of mind of a tour escort to smooth out any bumps and stay informed of the latest movements, no hassles of driving or navigating the foreign public transport and the list goes on.

Small group holidays can be surprisingly rewarding and together with the feeling of being looked after, what's not to enjoy?
