how many people do you generally tend to take on a tour? I would be keen for a more social tour so wondering if your tours generally have younger backpackers

For a tour 8-days or less, we can arrange it even for one person. From our experience, it's generally challenging to find other fellow travellers to sign up for a trip like this one. And we also don't usually get young backpackers for our trips. We tend to get solo travellers and people travelling in small family groups.
