Small Luxury Group Tours
Group travel sometimes gets a bad rap. But when done right, it can be so rewarding.
Join a luxury-hosted small group journey with Explorations Company, and we promise you won’t find yourself saying, ‘if it’s Tuesday, it must be the Taj Mahal.’ Our growing portfolio of small group journeys allows you to explore places that require sophisticated logistics, and which might be prohibitively expensive if visited by yourself. Staying in wonderful properties, and with chartered flights or yachts included where sensible to ensure that your experience is seamless, you’ll travel in the company of a small number of like-minded fellow travellers, with an expert host to guide you and a range of inspiring people to chat to and learn from along the way.
Join one of our existing pre-set tours, or form your own group and have us create an entirely personalised and dazzlingly original private journey or celebration just for you.
