Guided & Small-Group Tours 101 — Stress-Free, Culturally Rich Travel

Guided and small-group tours offer a structured, comfortable way to explore the world—especially for travelers who prefer a well-organized itinerary, cultural insight, and the convenience of having logistics managed for them. This class breaks down the major styles of guided travel, from classic group tours and small-group explorations to stay-put “spotlight” programs and specialty thematic trips. Participants will learn how tours are paced, what is typically included, how group size changes the experience, and how to identify the type of tour that best matches their interests, mobility level, and preferred travel style.
