With a more intimate group, you can get more one-on-one time with your Travel Director and form tighter bonds with your fellow travellers. This even more personal experience and chance to squeeze more fun in, is why many are choosing to book a small group tour for their travels in 2021 and beyond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Trafalgar, we added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/ways-to-go\/group-tours\/group-trips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small group tours in 2021<\/a> so you can enjoy the same incredible Trafalgar experiences just with a smaller group. As always, you\u2019ll explore with like-minded people and every detail will be cared for, including your wellbeing. All our small group tours through Asia and Africa will have 20 people or less, and our small group tours through Europe, USA and the rest of the world will have 29 people or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are seven of the best destinations to experience as a small group trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-japan\">1. Japan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wander the famous path lined with hundreds of orange torii gates snaking through a forest, indulge in a delicious kaiseki lunch at a traditional ryokan, and go deeper with Japanese customs. Your dive into Japan with a small group tour will allow you to experience the rich ancient culture up close with even more detail. Experience the lights and sounds of futuristic Tokyo more vividly, and enjoy the traditional customs of Kyoto without interruption on a small group trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/11\/Kyoto-www.istockphoto.comgbphotokyoto-japan-in-spring-gm902966276-249052241-Sean-Pavone-1024x683-3-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kyoto-www.istockphoto.comgbphotokyoto-japan-in-spring-gm902966276-249052241-Sean-Pavone-1024x683-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kyoto-www.istockphoto.comgbphotokyoto-japan-in-spring-gm902966276-249052241-Sean-Pavone-1024x683-3-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kyoto-www.istockphoto.comgbphotokyoto-japan-in-spring-gm902966276-249052241-Sean-Pavone-1024x683-3-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kyoto-www.istockphoto.comgbphotokyoto-japan-in-spring-gm902966276-249052241-Sean-Pavone-1024x683-3-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kyoto-www.istockphoto.comgbphotokyoto-japan-in-spring-gm902966276-249052241-Sean-Pavone-1024x683-3.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/classic-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Classic Japan<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-egypt\">2.

Join an expedition through the lush river valleys and golden desert landscapes with 20 people or less for a more intimate trip.

A small group tour in Europe gives you the chance to explore the French capital without the rush. With less time needed to wait for a large group to catch up, you\u2019ll have more time to unwind as you stroll by the Seine, soak in the atmosphere and chase down the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/where-find-best-croissants-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best croissants<\/a>.

South Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine this: just 20 people exploring South Africa together with your expert Travel Director. Tour group size matters if you\u2019re someone who likes lots of close interaction with people (and animals). While in South Africa you\u2019ll have the chance to ask more questions to each Local Specialist game ranger and animal tracker that joins your safari.

American\u2019s incredible national parks are one place in particular you might like to explore with less people. From viewing the Grand Canyon to going on a short hike, a small group tour in the USA with 29 people or less will give you more time to explore the wild outdoors and less chance of people getting in the way of your scenic landscape photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/10\/Untitled-design-2020-10-16T160308.502-1024x576.png\" alt=\"group of people hiking in Grand Canyon\" class=\"wp-image-23924\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/autumn-colours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Autumn Colours<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-morocco\">6.

Culturally you are expected to haggle, haggle, haggle at any local markets and this can be uncomfortable if you are not used to the custom.
