Touring product manager Laura Hughes, who joined the escorted touring operator in December, created the Small Group Journeys product. Initially, APT will offer Small Group Journeys itineraries in India between October 2024 and December 2025.
Guests can watch the sunrise over the Taj Mahal, hand-select ingredients for a cooking lesson on a chef-led tour of markets and search for tigers in Ranthambore National Park.
Adventurous experiences are complemented by local dining experiences, luxurious accommodation, and free time to explore.
Prices for the 15-day Southern India – Quest of the Senses itinerary from Chennai to Kochi start from £3,995pp.
Customers can cruise the backwaters of Kerala on a traditional houseboat. The price includes accommodation, transport, 27 meals, sightseeing and expert local guides.
The 16-day Northern India – West to Easy Odyssey itinerary includes accommodation, transport, 23 meals, sightseeing and access to expert local guides and is priced from £4,495pp.
Prices for the 14-day Northern India – Sensory Marvels of Rajasthan itinerary, which includes accommodation, transport, 24 meals, sightseeing and expert local guides, is priced from £3,995pp.
Hughes added: “Unveiling the first itineraries from our new collection of Small Group Journeys is the proud culmination of months of work to bring APT’s exciting new travel style to market.
“Complementing the investment that our owners are making to elevate our river cruises, we’re delighted to reveal that touring is getting the same treatment.”
