Group tours: a published departure and shared journey
A group tour follows an available departure and a more defined shared itinerary. It can suit travellers who like a clear structure and meeting other visitors. Ask which departures are open, how the group is organised and what is included. Check the pace, room arrangements and any free time before deciding; the website does not itself confirm that a departure is available for your dates.
Private groups: travel with people you know
A private group travels with family, friends, colleagues or other invited participants. Start by agreeing the group’s dates, budget and main interests. Tell your planner about different walking abilities, room needs and dietary preferences. The route and services can be discussed for your group, but any changes and additional costs still need to be confirmed rather than assumed.
Tailor-made journeys: plan around your priorities
A tailor-made journey begins with your preferences rather than selecting every detail from a fixed route. Explain your available time, preferred cities, accommodation expectations and budget range. Mention special occasions, rest days or activities you want to avoid. A proposal can then be adjusted before agreement; custom planning does not mean every possible service is automatically included.
Compare the same services before choosing
Compare route, accommodation, transport, meals, attraction visits, local reception and language support on a like-for-like basis. Ask which items are optional and what happens if plans change. Corporate and institutional groups can also discuss visits and activities suited to their objectives. Your choice should reflect how you want to travel, with the final inclusions, quotation and booking conditions written down.
