Seeing the famous sites is a must, but it’s those memories of wandering through a little village or sharing dinner with a local family that leave a lasting impression. At Peregrine, we take the time to help you discover a destination’s story.

Mandawa, India

Go beyond the highlights

Of course we want you to see the Taj Mahal. But imagine then heading to an out-of-the-way village near Rajasthan, learning about rural life with locals and tasting fresh, home-cooked Indian cuisine.

Our small group tours take you beyond the tourist must-sees and delve into the heart of a destination, guided by the knowledge of your local English-speaking leader. 

White wash buildings, Greece

Small groups means lighter footprints

You'll never travel with more than 16 other people, so there's plenty of time to soak up the sights, sounds and tastes in every country, town and village.

Fundamental to our philosophy is the belief that tourism should benefit the places it touches. Small groups naturally lend themselves to more respectful and meaningful travel: the environmental impact per person is smaller, we can stay and eat at smaller locally run places and our tours use our local operators, providing employment for local leaders, guides and porters.

All our trips are carbon neutral, and each year we help support a variety of community and conservation projects around the world through our partnership with The Intrepid Foundation.

Our passionate local leaders and guides

Our leaders are some of the world’s best – their knowledge, humour and experience are the real highlights for our travellers. Twenty years ago, Peregrine became the first travel company of its kind to exclusively employ local leaders. Instead of importing ‘tour managers’, we led the way by finding and training educated, passionate and naturally curious people who were born and raised in the places they would lead. Our local leaders unlock a unique side to their region that large coach tours and independent travellers could never hope to see.

Perfect for those travelling solo

Our trips are a great way to meet people with similar interests, and there’s no additional cost for the vast majority of our trips if you’re happy to share with someone of the same gender. We have lots of solo travellers on our trips, and our itineraries offer a good balance of group activities and free time to explore independently. It also means less hassle trying to find a friend or family member who is available to travel on the same dates as you.

How you’ll move around

At Peregrine we like to take things slow and believe that getting from A to B should be a comfortable experience. So most of the transport you take will be private, which generally means air-conditioned minibuses with modern safety features. Private transport also means less waiting around, a little more flexibility in each destination and being able to go where the really large tour buses can’t.
