      TravelerWritten January 2024

      What's the difference between the small group tour and the Classic group tour? How many people are in each tour and are they the same hotels and the same itinerary?

    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten January 2024

      Classic and small groups have the same itinerary and hotels, but their difference is the group size. The classic group has a maximum of 40 guests, while the small group has a maximum of 24 guests only. Also, small groups are more expensive than the classic group.
