Holidays provide us with some of our most memorable moments but as with most things, sharing these with those closest to us makes these moments that little bit extra special. So why not consider organising a trip with those most special to you whether that be friends and/or family as there are plenty of reasons in addition to shared memories to travel as a private group. Private trips offer much better value as every hotel or tour operator will likely give a discount in return for more customers and as the trip is private you’ll have far more flexibility to tailor the trip to your specific needs.

Below we’ve listed the trips we offer that are best suited to groups so next time you’re considering a big celebration, family holiday, or just some time away with friends then maybe you’ll get in touch and we can organise an unforgettable experience for you and your loved ones.

The Lapland Experience

Lapland is largely located in northern Finland and is primarily in the Arctic Circle. It’s a unique place offering many winter wonderland experiences throughout much of the year from husky sledding, skiing, ice karting, if you are lucky, the Northern Lights and of course, there is even Santa Claus! However, it is undeniably expensive and that is where travelling as a group can provide considerable discounts to make those costs that much more manageable. For group sizes of 6-8 people, you can save as much as 25% through Untravelled Paths so if you’re looking to explore this remote wilderness as a group get in touch!

The Montenegro Experience

Often referred to as the jewel of the Adriatic and for good reason, Montenegro offers much to its visitors. From the National Parks of the less explored mountainous region to the crystal clear waters of its renowned coastline and all within a couple of hours of each other. It’s these qualities that make this an ideal experience for private groups as you can see so much with relative ease with lots of exciting outdoor activities ideal for friends and families alike. Visit charming Venetian old towns, white water raft the tara river, hike through Durmitor National Park, learn about the process and taste nature’s sweetness at the honey farm, zip line across Europe’s deepest canyon and so much more, these are just some of the memorable experiences on offer to you. Montenegro isn’t part of the EU zone so prices locally are far more affordable and for group sizes of 6 people upwards discounts start from 20% and rising through Untravelled Paths.

The Ice Hotel Experience

Transylvania in the winter offers an alternative and far more affordable winter wonderland to Scandinavia and although it may not be able to offer Santa Claus it can offer the legend of Dracula. The trip is great fun for children as it’s quite literally a cooler version of camping and certainly a fun adventure for friends! And if you’re up for a private tour we can even tailor the experience to include driving Huskies in the foothills of the Carpathian mountain range or add a few days skiing in Poiana Brasov which is the country’s premier ski resort and ideal for beginners. Book this adventure through Untravelled Paths and small private group discounts start from 20% off. Click here for further information.

The Dolce Vita Puglia Experience

Arguably the safest bet with any private group tour as it has the classic ingredients that everyone loves – namely Italy, delicious fresh food, quaint local towns, and warm climate all making for the famed “Dolce Vita” atmosphere. In addition to this, you’ll have a chance to stay in cave accommodation in Matera’s famed Sassy and a traditional Trullo in the beautiful Itria valley. Outside of peak summer, Puglia offers a very relaxed uncrowded experience and the activities on offer such as cooking classes and pasta making are great for fun for people of all ages. This trip is typically for a maximum of 8 people, although we can do two trips at once and should you book a private group tour through Untravelled Paths then discounts start from 15% off.

The Brown Bear Experience

A great trip for lovers of nature and the outdoors. Transylvania has the biggest population of Brown Bears in Europe (excluding Russia) so you’ll have a great opportunity to see the magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. You will also visit the Libearity Bear Sanctuary which is home to over 100 rescued bears. Add all this to the beautiful old town of Brasov and the rolling hills of the Transylvanian countryside against the backdrop of the impressive mountains and you’ve got a trip epic weekend long weekend away. This great is ideal for friends wanting to catch up as it offers a good amount of free time, it’s also a good introduction to wildlife for children who have shown an interest in what nature has to offer. Untravelled Paths discounts for private groups start at 15% off rising to 20% depending on the size of the group. Click here for further information.
