Travelling in a small group adds something special to the journey. Yes, you’ll see incredible places — but it’s the shared laughs, inside jokes, and friendships formed along the way that truly elevate the experience. These are the trips where memories are made together, long after the suitcase is unpacked.
Our small-group tours are thoughtfully designed to offer more than a standard, off-the-shelf itinerary. Each journey is personally crafted by Michelle, who brings her expertise and passion to every detail, ensuring each tour feels considered, authentic, and genuinely special. Expect hands-on local experiences, meaningful connections with the places you visit, and food that’s a highlight in its own right — excellent-quality meals featuring local flavours, because what you eat is just as important as where you go.
With a maximum of just 20 guests, you’ll enjoy the camaraderie of travelling with others without being glued to the same person every minute of the day (because even the best travel companions need a little space). Our tours are inclusive, covering accommodation, transport, tipping, and visas where required, so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. Every journey is hosted by an experienced Embark Travel representative to ensure things run smoothly from start to finish.
Travelling solo? You’re always welcome. Many of our guests join on their own and love the built-in social side of small-group travel. A solo supplement applies, and you’ll gain instant travel companions — without ever feeling like the odd one out.
Our small group tours are carefully designed to create a relaxed, supportive travel experience, with a maximum of just 20 guests, plus experienced tour hosts who are there every step of the way. From the moment you join, you’ll feel looked after — without ever feeling herded or rushed.
Before you even depart, you’ll be invited to a pre-tour get-together, giving you the chance to meet your fellow travellers and your tour hosts in advance. It’s the perfect way to break the ice, ask questions, and start your journey already feeling comfortable, confident, and connected.
Once on tour, almost everything is taken care of — meaning far less planning, decision-making, and worry while you travel. Enjoy a minimum of two delicious meals each day, minimum 4-star boutique accommodation, transport, immersive guided sightseeing with knowledgeable local experts, all tipping and gratuities, and any required visas included.
To suit the way you prefer to travel, our small group tours are offered in two thoughtfully designed options: tour-only or tour with airfares included. The tour-only option allows you the flexibility to personalise your journey — whether that means arriving early, staying on longer, or adding extra time in destinations you love (and we’re more than happy to help you plan this).
