Small Group Textile Tours
With a great mix of hands on classes, cultural activities, sightseeing, interaction with the local people and time to explore on your own our small group tours are perfect for mature travellers who are not keen on travelling in large groups.
With a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 people on each group tour you have the opportunity to see all the cultural highlights of a destination as well as try your hand at some traditional crafts such as weaving, beading, natural dyes, batik and embroidery.
Escorted tours groups (of 6 to 10) are accompanied by Narelle along with local guides and experts. Escorted small group tours depart at scheduled times of the year. Where groups have only 4 to 6 people an experienced local English speaking guide will accompany your tour group from when you arrive in country until you depart for home.
If you like the look of one of our small group tours but cant travel at that time and there are 2 or more of you, we can arrange travel for you at a time to fit with your travel dates.
