At Embark Travel, our small group tours are thoughtfully designed for travellers who want more than a standard itinerary. Each tour is personally created by Michelle Barker, drawing on years of first-hand travel experience, trusted local contacts, and a passion for meaningful, well-paced journeys. These are tours designed with care — balancing must-see highlights with moments you simply won’t find in general touring brochures.
We offer two distinct styles of small group tours, each tailored to different travel preferences. Our Women’s Tours are limited to a maximum of 12 travellers plus hosts and include a true door-to-door experience, with flights included from the outset. This style of tour is relaxed, supportive and highly personalised — ideal for women who value connection, comfort and the confidence of travelling with everything taken care of.
Our Mixed Small Group Tours, open to both men and women, are capped at 20 travellers plus hosts. These tours offer flexibility, with the choice of tour-only arrangements for those who wish to add their own pre- or post-tour travel, or the option to include airfares as part of a seamless package. This allows travellers to tailor the experience to suit their own plans while still enjoying the benefits of a hosted, expertly designed journey.
Across all Embark Travel tours, the focus is on boutique experiences, authentic moments and genuine connections. Smaller group sizes allow for flexibility, access to unique experiences, and a more personal way of travelling — often resulting in lasting friendships long after the journey ends. These are tours where details matter, experiences feel special, and travellers return home with stories worth sharing.
Have a group of friends or family ready to travel together, but want an expert to bring it all to life? With our small group tour expertise, we’ll design a travel experience just for you. These tailor-made group tours are perfect for groups of 6 or more (or 3+ rooms) and are created entirely around your interests. You’ll find more information below under ‘tailor-made group tours‘.
