Small Group Tours for Active Adults, Seniors & Solo Travelers

Small Group Tours by The Traveling Professor offers a more personal and comfortable way to travel. Since 2009, we have built our reputation by creating small group tours and cruises with well-located 4- and 5-star hotels, scenic rail and ferry experiences, carefully planned itineraries, and responsive personal service before and during the trip. Our smaller groups allow for a more relaxed pace, easier access to meaningful local experiences, and the kind of attention larger tour companies often cannot provide.

Peru, Machu Picchu, and the Amazon Jungle

Explore Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the Peruvian Amazon on one carefully planned small group journey. Stay at outstanding lodges, including the renowned Inkaterra Amazonica Lodge, while enjoying a balance of history, culture, comfort, and expert local guiding. Our Peru tours are among our signature travel experiences.

Iceland and the Northern Lights

Our popular Iceland small group tour includes the Northern Lights, the Blue Lagoon, waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, geysers, and memorable local dining. It is designed for travelers who want Iceland’s most iconic experiences without the rushed pace and oversized groups of many standard tours. 

Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City

Celebrate the season in Quebec City and Montreal on a festive small group Christmas markets tour filled with historic charm, beautiful decorations, and comfortable hotels in outstanding locations. Our previous departures sold strongly, and this tour is ideal for travelers who want a relaxed holiday experience without a large bus tour feel. Spaces available.
