Reviews of Small Group tours to Asia
- Active Small Group Tour of the South Caucasus
Fantastic!!... In every way.
- Azerbaijan - Georgia - Armenia Tour - 14 days / Small Group Tour
Our tour to the Caucasus region was amazing, everything was organized perfectly by Mrs. Hasmik from "The Caucasus Tours", the hotels in all the cities were excellent. The guides were so informative, and they really knew a lot about their countries. We were amazed by the local food, each country had a super food that we really enjoyed. I would highly recommend everyone to visit this amazing region which offers a lot of history, food, culture and landscape.
- Sri Lanka Solo Journey Group
I had an amizing time with my group members who I met at the tour and our Tourgide/ driver and security man ( he was all in one). I decided to stay in the cheaper hotels, but also this hotels looked very luxery, or they had an amazing view to Sigyria and to the mountains of Ella. We saw a lot of things, Sidath the driver knew a lot about every sightseeing point and when we needed something like a coconut, water or money he always made a stop to get that. Sometimes the company Mango vacation changed a hotel reservation in the last minute, on the first day there was an organisational problem and Mango vaccation should change the name, because the nightlive was not the plan for the tour, but I prevered that anyway. ?
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."
