Reviews of Small Group tours to Asia
- Active Small Group Tour of the South Caucasus
Using an organised tour in countries where you cannot speak the local language or read the alphabet, made for an enjoyable and stress free experience. Avantour had an itinerary which covered a wide range of interests. The bus was a convenient size and we liked that fact that the tour group was small (15). The accommodation was excellent and the food was varied and interesting.
- Sri Lanka Solo Journey Group
Excellent tour with an excellent driver
- Thailand Grand Tour, Small Group Tour (English Only)
The guide in the first part of tour in Chiang rai and chiang mai was not up to the mark.This tour includes too many visits to temples.Could iclude crossing river to Laos while at Golden Triangle.
What our customers ask about Asia Small Group Tours
What is the typical cost difference between small group and large group tours in Asia?
Small group tours in Asia command a premium of 15-30% over large group options with daily rates ranging from $170-350. The popular 16-day Circle Indochine tour averages $280 per day which includes stays at boutique properties like the Santi Villa Resort in Luang Prabang. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The extra cost was worth it for the personalized attention and unique experiences you just can't get with a large group."
What unique experiences are possible with a small group tour in Asia?
Small groups can venture into areas less traveled like hill tribe settlements in Northern Thailand quiet temples at Angkor Wat and traditional tea houses in Kyoto's Gion district. Accommodations include intimate spots like the Imperial River House Resort in Chiang Rai while meals often take place in family-run establishments. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Our small group size meant we could visit places larger tours couldn't, like remote monasteries and village homes."
What is the recommended accommodation style for small group tours in Asia?
These tours favor boutique hotels and heritage properties that showcase local culture and design. In Vietnam travelers often stay at places like the Golden Legend Boutique Hotel in Hanoi while Thailand offers riverside retreats such as the Imperial River House Resort. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The accommodations were perfectly chosen - small charming hotels with local character rather than big tourist properties."
What meal arrangements are typically included in small group tours?
Tours generally cover hotel breakfasts and select local dining experiences. The China small group itineraries often include regional specialties such as Peking duck in Beijing and dumpling feasts in Xi'an. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The included meals were simply amazing! With a lot of different Chinese food to try."
How does transportation differ on small group Asia tours versus larger tours?
Small group transportation relies on minivans and compact boats allowing access to narrow village paths in Sapa and smaller canals in Bangkok's floating markets. The Treasures of Indochina tour uses private 8-passenger vans for flexibility. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Having a small minivan meant we could access remote temples and villages that big tour buses couldn't reach."
What is the typical pace of small group tours in Asia?
These tours balance structured activities with downtime. The 8-day China tour pairs visits to the Great Wall and Forbidden City with free evenings and optional excursions. Most stops last 2-3 nights minimizing frequent hotel changes. A TourRadar traveler observed: "The itinerary was well-planned and balanced allowing us to enjoy both iconic sites and some local hidden gems."
