Why Our Small Groups Are Limited to 16 or Fewer Guests Traveling with no more than 16 guests isn’t just a number, it’s a philosophy that makes every journey more rewarding, engaging, and seamless. • Attentive Service: With fewer travelers, our expert guides offer thoughtful attention that enhances the experience of every guest throughout the journey. • Richer Connections: A more intimate group size makes it easier to form meaningful bonds, both with fellow travelers and with your guide. Shared experiences feel more personal, and meals become warm, social occasions where stories flow and friendships form quickly. • Access to Unique Experiences: Our groups can go where large ones can’t, from boutique vineyards to village markets, and family-run restaurants. We can stay nimble and enjoy more immersive, off-the-beaten-path moments. • Smoother, More Enjoyable Touring: Our small groups move more efficiently. We spend less time waiting and more time discovering, making each day feel relaxed, well-paced, and deeply satisfying. More Rewarding and Thoughtful Travel
