Choose from 40+ Small Group Tours

A small group sojourn in Europe means connecting with people – in their homes, their shops, their farms. It means seeing the sights, of course, but also sitting down to understand local life on a deeper level. Follow your curiosity – from Prague to Paris, Barcelona to Bruges, Florence to Finnish Lapland – and come home with stories to tell.

Have you ever seen the Taj Mahal at sunrise? Gazed out at the Japanese countryside through the windows of a high-speed bullet train? Dined under the stars and gazed upon Uluru (Ayers Rock)? Isn’t it time you did? Immerse yourself in these incredible lands where ancient tradition meets modern culture.

The floating islands and ancient ruins of Peru. Glaciers, rainforests, and fjords in Patagonia. The Cloud forests of Costa Rica. The lands here are home legends and vast biodiversity, but are also rich with culture and traditions. Whether you’re sharing lunch in a Peruvian Quechua community, getting to know a gaucho in Chile, or tasting fresh baked goods and coffee at a local finca in Peru, you’ll get a 360-degree view of it all.

Whether you’re heading out on safari in search of the Big 5 or riding a camel through the Moroccan desert, Explorations will bring you closer to the action in this fascinating region. Learn about Samburu folklore from a tribe member in Kenya. Get closer to wildlife, the culture, to nature…and to each other.

From sea to shining sea, the United States offers rich experiences for Explorations travelers like spending time with a descendant of the last Kootenai chief in Montana, learning the secrets of shucking from an oyster farmer in Maine, dogsledding in Alaska, and so much more. Get to know a deeper side of America.
