Frequently Asked Questions

With a maximum of just 16 passengers, a Small Group Tour provides a more personal and flexible travelling experience. You’ll enjoy more time off the bus, with freedom to explore free from the crowds.

While you will see all the highlights, these tours are carefully planned to travel off the highways, so you’ll discover quaint villages and picturesque vistas that other tours cannot reach.

Small group tours are operated by purpose-built mini-coaches with air-conditioning, panoramic windows and comfortable seating.

Each group is led by an experienced driver/guide who will entertain and inform you with stories of our history, nature and folklore.

Many travellers prefer small group touring as it’s considered more authentic and there is a better chance to connect with locals as well as their fellow explorers.

To give you maximum flexibility, the cost of admission fees and other optional extras are not included in the tour price. This gives you complete freedom to choose as the mood takes you. On this tour, there are optional visits to:
