Immersive moments await
Learn about the world alongside 10–22 travelers in off-the-beaten-path destinations on our small group trips. You’ll get an in-depth look at your destination while making a positive impact on it. Each tour features immersive, hands-on small group travel experiences that’ll connect you with the local community and your fellow travelers. Think: truffle hunting with a farmer and his dog in Italy, eating organic pineapple at a carbon-negative farm in Costa Rica, and more.
