We’ve mentioned it before, but it’s worth saying again: small group tours are one of our favourite ways to explore the world – especially now that there are more private tour options than ever before.

With private tours, you can travel in your own “bubble” of family and friends, no matter where your journey takes you.

And if you’re wondering whether you have enough people to qualify for a private tour, you’d be surprised. Depending on the tour provider, your bubble can be as few as 4 or even 2 people! Talk about exclusive.

Whether you’ve been enjoying private small group tours for years or you’re curious about trying one now for your peace of mind, have a look at some of our top picks for 2021 getaways.
