Small group travelling offers many benefits to participants. For example, they usually take care of the hassle of airport arrival transfers so that you step off the plane to find your name on a sign and a car waiting to take you to a reputable hotel.

This is a welcome relief after a long flight, and eliminates the need to haggle with taxi drivers and porters. Another benefit of group travel is that many of them take you to challenging destinations which may be much harder to access on your own. When you want to get off the beaten track in exotic countries on your own, you can run into a host of visa and access difficulties not to mention the logistics on the ground. This can end up wasting large amounts of your valuable vacation time, even if you do some planning in advance.
