Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a small group tour and a private tour?
On a small group tour, you join other travellers on a fixed route. On a private tour, the trip is made only for you and your own group, and you choose the route, the number of days, the hotel standard and how you travel.
Who should choose a small group tour?
A small group tour suits travellers who want to meet new friends from around the world, like the classic and popular routes, and want good value for the tour price. Solo travellers often enjoy it for the company.
Who should choose a private tour?
A private tour suits families, couples, friends and groups who want their own plan and pace. It also suits anyone who wants a different route, a higher hotel standard or a different number of days than a set group trip.
Can I change the itinerary of a small group tour?
Small group tours follow a fixed itinerary. If you have extra days before or after the trip, we can arrange hotels and activities for them. If you want to change the route itself, a private tour is the better choice.
Can I travel privately on a trip that is listed as a group trip?
Yes. Trips in Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet can be joined as a small group or organized privately for your family or group. Tell us which trip you like, and we will plan it for you alone.
Can I book a trip that is not on your website?
Yes. We welcome trips from your own bucket list. Send us the places and activities you want, and we will plan a private trip around them.
