Special Group Tours is featuring Tourist Board and guest videos on YouTube. If you have a travel video you’d like to submit, get in touch!

Special Group Tours is dedicated to giving you the holiday of a lifetime. Traveling in small groups and on interesting itineraries throughout the United Kingdom and Europe, you will be taken behind the tourist facade. Meet the locals, seeing both the famous sites (after the crowds have left) and the hidden gems that those herded on big buses miss. Live the history of the areas you visit, sample life in small villages and have experiences not open to larger groups, in the company of your multi talented driver/guide/companion.

       Enjoy your independence without the hassles of driving yourself.

What is Small Group Touring? Small Group Touring is traveling with just 6 - 14 guests per departure. It is our aim to introduce you to the ‘real’ country and its people, not just ticking the boxes of a standardized route and treating you as an individual and not a number. Our concept allows for a leisurely touring pace and flexibility, incorporating local events and possibly special requests from traveling companions. Of course you’ll see the major sites but so much more too! See Why Our Tours for more info about the advantages of the Small Group Touring Concept.

Why SGT? With Special Group Tours (SGT), you will have the advantage of expert advice from those who have not only visited, but have years of experience living in and loving the cultures you will visit. We hand pick our suppliers with your comfort and expectations in mind. Special Group Tours is a tour operator, specialty travel agency and custom design tour service dedicated to giving YOU the vacation you deserve! Come and join us!

General sightseeing, theme tours to gardens, literary sites and the poignant battlefields from both world wars, family group touring for folks researching their heritage - you name it and we are happy to help! We’ve assisted grandparents wanting a treat for their grand-kids on a family Harry Potter adventure; university groups searching for Roman Britain and English literary heritage; garden clubs get in depth at local garden treasures. Our mini-tours are a perfect fit for our American vacation breaks and we offer longer tours for those who have the time.

Our clients are active, fun-loving, educated people looking for a safe and comfortable adventure in the UK, Europe and occasionally more exotic destinations such as Southeast Asia, South America and Africa.

Jay, one of your driver/guide/companions, looks forward to welcoming you aboard soon!
