Insight Vacations has announced an increase in its small group tour offerings for 2025, featuring more than 100 itineraries worldwide. This expansion follows a successful 2024, during which many tours sold out.

Travelers can expect to journey with an average of 20 guests per tour (the group maximum is 24), allowing for a more intimate travel experience.

“Our Small Group tours performed remarkably well in 2024, and we expect this strong trend to continue into 2025,” said Melissa DaSilva, president of TTC Tour Brands, North America. “We understand that travelers have diverse preferences when it comes to travel styles, and we’re excited to meet those needs by offering a range of group sizes, no matter the destination. With more small group departures, guests gain greater flexibility in choosing their ideal itineraries, while travel advisors enjoy an expanded selection of options to satisfy clients and drive sales.”

All Small Group itineraries maintain the premium inclusions that characterize Insight Vacations, such as 4- and 5-star accommodations, exceptional dining with a focus on seasonal and regional flavors, personalized service from dedicated Travel Directors and travel on customized coaches designed for added comfort.

A unique feature of all itineraries is the inclusion of at least one Make Travel Matter Experience, which supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals.

“Smaller groups are perfect for travelers seeking a more intimate experience with personalized attention," DaSilva said. "For agents, they offer additional opportunities to meet client requests and cater to their specific needs.”

Additionally, Insight Vacations has expanded its Women’s Only Tours for 2025. These tours include a range of experiences that celebrate women's achievements across various cultures. Each tour incorporates Make Travel Matter Experiences focused on supporting women, aligned with this year’s International Women’s Day theme: “Invest in women: Accelerate progress.”

Highlighted experiences include the Country Roads of the Deep South tour, where guests will learn about the women’s civil rights movement from local expert Elaine Lee Turner. In Scotland, participants can meet Julie Hill, the first woman to win the International Sheepdog Championship, and create their own Scottish handbag. The Best of Morocco Tour features a baking class at a women’s cooperative, empowering participants to become professional chefs.

More details on Insight Vacations’ Small Group tours are available online.
