7 questions answered for your first small-group adventure holiday

We know that a good night’s sleep is really important when you’re travelling. We carefully select each night’s stay to balance comfort with location, and support small, local and family-run hotels wherever we can.

Where you stay will depend on what’s available in the places you visit – we choose the accommodation to suit the trip, rather than the other way around. We also try to weave in some real characterful gems – from Moroccan kasbahs and traditional Japanese ryokans, to houses on stilts in Vietnam and Bedouin-style camps in Jordan. Our group accommodation will always be clean, comfortable, and well located for your journey.

Our small group adventures are ideal for solo travellers – around half of the travellers in our groups are usually travelling on their own. Our carefully-planned itineraries and expert leaders mean you can relax in the knowledge that everything is taken care of.

Our groups are small, informal, welcoming and fun. You’ll be sharing once-in-a-lifetime experiences with similar people; some will be fellow solo travellers, others will be couples or friends who are travelling together.

Everyone travels differently so we’ve graded our trips according to pace. Some travellers like to squeeze everything they can out of each day, while others like to have time to relax and enjoy the view. Our 'Relaxed' trips build in plenty of down time, with opportunity to immerse yourself in the local surroundings. 'Moderate' trips combine fuller days with some down time too, while 'Full On' trips have mostly busy days and some early starts, but all trips are full of amazing experiences. You can opt-out of certain activities if you feel you need some additional down time.
