Boutique Small Group Tours
Designed with the adventurous, more mature traveller in mind, small group tours are where Gypsian started and it’s what we do best. Our Classic travellers want an authentic experience: in a cave hotel in Cappadocia, in a beautiful riad in Morocco, onboard a private yacht on the Mediterranean. They want to experience regional taste sensations, get up close and personal with the local culture and explore little visited backstreets that aren’t accessible to most small group tours. If you’re looking for an original experience and the best a country has to offer with the relative safety of a small group tour, we’re what you’ve been searching for.
​
We have been travelling across different regions around the world for many years. Doing this in small group tours, with between 8-12 people has always been our favourite way of exploring. Travelling in small groups gives greater flexibility and allows you to take full advantage of everything that your location has to offer. If you are looking for a holiday that will offer you the chance to travel and eat with local people, get up and close to the locals and learn about the rich culture each place has to offer then our small group tours are a perfect match.
