What you’ll learn
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. Join Lael Kassis, Vice President of Market Innovation and Development, and David Evans, Vice President of Operations, for a inside look at our small group tours portfolio. Think: truffle hunting with a farmer and his dog in Italy, eating organic pineapple at a carbon-negative farm in Costa Rica, and more!
