VERY SMALL GROUPS
We believe that very small groups of 6-12 travellers offer the "sweet spot" for travel: big enough to have others to share experiences, but small enough to get personal service and not waste time waiting around for others.

TravelMaven's combination of flexibility, free time and optional meals makes our small group tours perfect for solo travellers. Better yet, we keep our Single Supplements as low as possible, reflecting hotel premiums only.
PLENTY OF WALKING
VERY SMALL GROUPS
FLEXIBILITY & FREE TIME
We believe the best way to see most places is on foot. That's why we typically leave the hotel about 9 am with walking shoes and daypacks, ready to explore the streets & sights and immerse ourselves in our destination.

One big advantage of very small groups is we can be flexible and open to spontaneous ideas and opportunities. We are also happy to help find & organize special attractions & activities for guests during their free time.
FEWER HOTELS
FLEXIBILITY & FREE TIME
EXCELLENT VALUE
Packing and unpacking, and moving from hotel to hotel takes time and energy. Nobody likes to be told "bags outside your door at 7 am". That's why we carefully select central hubs and stay longer in as few hotels as possible.

TravelMaven’s offerings fall into the middle of the price range for group tours, but offer extraordinary value due to their maximum size of 12 travellers and personalized service from our experienced Tour Concierge.
