Written by Catherine

Over here at the Llama Travel offices, we often use the term “flexible group tours”, although what does this actually mean for you? Well it means that you get to pick and choose the places you want to visit, without being limited by a rigid itinerary. Unlike a traditional tailor-made holiday though, you pay group tour prices.

How does that work?

Each of our holidays consists of a base itinerary, which can either be experienced as a stand-alone holiday, or combined with itinerary “blocks” from different regions within your destination(s) of choice. For example our Peru holidays have a 12-day base programme which visits Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Basic Peru Hol

There are optional add-on extensions too. For example, a 2-night Lake Titicaca extension, a 3-night Amazon Jungle extension and a 2-night Pacific Coast extension.

As well as holiday extensions to other countries. For example, a 4-night Bolivia extension, a 6-night Brazil extension and a 5-night Galapagos & Ecuador extension.
