"Everything was perfect. We did and saw so much. Top notch trip. This is my second trip with Friendly Planet and I wouldn't think of going anywhere with anyone else!"
 
 
 
Our classic tour packages are the easiest and most efficient way to explore new places. Sit back, relax, and leave all the details to us while saving with fantastic package prices!
 
The Right Size.
 
While some tour operators pack 40 and more people on a single coach, our Small Group tours include no more than 16 travelers—and usually fewer. We believe this is the perfect size for visiting sites comfortably and efficiently and for getting to know your travel companions. Share the excitement of discovery with an intimate group of like-minded travelers without paying a premium for a small group tour.
 
Creative & Comprehensive itineraries.
 
Enjoy guided tours of all the must-see spots and off-the-beaten-path cultural experiences you won't find on other tours. Our programs always feature opportunities to get to know the locals and time to explore on your own or join optional excursions.
 
Great hotels.
 
Relax each night in carefully-selected 4 and 5-star properties, regularly inspected to ensure they meet our high standards. Other tour operators often choose hotels on the outskirts of town (to save a few bucks). With us, a great location is a must, and you'll always stay in centrally-located hotels usually within walking distance of restaurants, markets, and other attractions.
 
Peace of mind.
 
Let us do all the work! We bundle everything together, including flights, hotels, transfers, entrance fees, and carefully curated experiences plus most taxes and fees, into an exact price with no surprises. Our local partners, tour managers, and guides make sure everything flows smoothly, which leaves you free to enjoy your destination instead of fretting about the details.
