Group Tours

Travel together.
Plan less.

Milestone birthdays, multi-generation family trips, wine clubs, alumni reunions — any group from six to thirty travellers, handled start-to-finish by one specialist.

Who It's For

Three kinds of group we plan best.

If your gathering doesn't fit neatly in any of these, talk to us anyway — most of our best group trips started with an unusual brief.

  • Families Travelling Together

    Multi-generational trips, milestone birthdays, and reunions for extended families. Private villas, dedicated guides, and meals the grandparents can enjoy while the kids burn off energy.

    8 – 20 guests

  • Groups of Friends

    A 40th, a 50th, a long-delayed post-pandemic reunion — the trips that start with a WhatsApp group and end with a shared dossier of photos. We handle all the coordination so the organiser doesn't have to.

    6 – 16 guests

  • Clubs & Affinity Groups

    Wine clubs, alumni circles, charity boards, cycling clubs, photography groups. Itineraries built around a shared passion — vineyard access, curated lectures, pro-level guides on the activity itself.

    10 – 30 guests

Corporate groups — incentive trips, off-sites, client entertainment and conferences are handled by our Business Travel desk. Visit the business page →

How It Works

One organiser. One concierge. No committees.

  1. 01

    Gather the basics

    A single organiser speaks with us first — headcount, rough dates, budget band, any non-negotiables (celebration dinner, hired musician, a specific vineyard). No need for full group input yet.

  2. 02

    Draft a shared plan

    We produce a first-pass itinerary with options where it matters (private villa vs. boutique hotel, walking vs. bike days, formal dinner vs. long lunch). You share it with your group and gather reactions.

  3. 03

    Refine and confirm

    One round of revisions, rooms blocked, deposits handled centrally or split — however your group prefers. Everyone's passport details and dietary requirements collected through one simple form.

  4. 04

    Travel, managed end-to-end

    A dedicated trip concierge travels with the group or is on call 24/7 for its duration. Luggage shuttled, private transfers timed, restaurant bookings confirmed — no herding required of the organiser.

Included As Standard

Everything a group trip
actually needs.

Not a checklist of services hidden behind upsells. These are the things that make a group trip feel effortless — and they are standard on every group itinerary we quote.

  • Dedicated trip concierge, from booking through return

  • Single invoicing or split billing at your preference

  • Private villas, boutique hotels, or blocks of rooms — whichever fits

  • Private transfers for the entire group, including airport pick-ups

  • Group-only guided experiences (museums before opening, vineyards after close)

  • Long lunches and celebration dinners at restaurants closed to other guests

  • Welcome dossier printed and couriered to each guest ahead of arrival

  • On-the-ground support throughout — someone real, on WhatsApp, always

Pricing

Priced per guest, scaling cleanly with size.

Group travel benefits from economies of scale — private villas work out per-head at boutique-hotel prices, private transfers become cheaper than multiple taxis, and guides stretch across more guests without a quality trade-off. As a rough starting band, group itineraries typically run from €550 to €1,200 per guest per day depending on destination, accommodation standard, and trip length.

Every quote is itemised — you'll see exactly what is included and where each euro goes.
