Small Group Tours

If you’re drawn to the depth and richness of India and enjoy travelling with curious, like-minded travellers, our small group journeys may be just what you’re looking for. With nearly two decades of experience, Siân personally curates each group itinerary to go beyond the expected - focusing on real connections, untold stories, and experiences that linger long after you return home.

​

Each group journey is carefully crafted to showcase the cultural heart of a region, with a spotlight on textiles, craft, and local traditions. You'll meet inspiring artisans and expert guides along the way, while travelling in small groups of just 6–10 for a more personal, shared experience. We stay in handpicked small hotels and independent guesthouses that truly reflect the character and heritage of each place we visit.

"What a life affirming, magical adventure with Siân and Tuhina. We saw aspects of life in India that as a solo traveller you would struggle to organise. I will always highly recommend them; everything was wonderfully and carefully orchestrated for the best experience ever."
