How Our Holidays Work

Flexible Tours

Probably the best way to describe our holidays is flexible tours, so you can choose where to visit by combining different extensions and excursions, and which hotels to stay in. In most cases, you will be with other Llama Travellers, but not necessarily the same people throughout.

Excursions and Group Sizes

Excursions are usually taken in groups of around 10-15 people, with a maximum group size of 18. We find this works very well, allowing you to get to know like-minded people, but not having to spend all your time with the same group. You are free to explore on your own, or if you make friends, you can share your experiences with others. If we have more than 18 booked, we operate two groups.

Most holidays need at least two passengers, although some require more, and we will confirm this when you book. If we have only one or two people booked on an excursion, this may be operated together with people other than Llama Travel customers.

In some places, the excursions are operated by one of our local partners, so you may be with people other than Llama Travel customers, and the group may be a mix of English and other languages. In these cases, group sizes can sometimes be larger. If you would like to know the likely situation for your holiday, please ask us and we will be able to check. Transfers may be in a vehicle with more than 18 people.

Who Travels with Us?

We get a wide range of travellers on our holidays, with many couples in their 40s to 60s, as well as single travellers, and travellers in their 20s and 30s, especially for more active holidays. What brings everyone together is curiosity and a love of exploring new cultures, landscapes and wildlife.

Solo Travellers

While many guests travel with friends or family, we also welcome solo travellers who enjoy mixing with others.
