The new travel environment has greatly increased interest in private group travel. Making a tour private guarantees all the Grasshopper quality and experience you love, but you get to enjoy it exclusively with your closest friends and family. Our scheduled group tours continue to operate and are a popular option, however, if you would like to make a departure private to share a unique and memorable holiday with just your closest companions then we have some incredible options. The following are our top 6 most recommended tours, that really shine when taken as a private trip.

Kinkakuji Temple in Shikoku, Japan

Japan - Stunning Shikoku

A top trending location for travel in 2021-2022. The destination has such a rich and unique culture, etiquette, and cuisine that the best way to absorb it all is with the attention to detail of a private group. On the Stunning Shikoku tour, cycle through an island of unimaginable natural beauty, epic coastal rides, verdant river valleys and remote villages. Experience the culture through Washi paper-making and savory foods — all with the flexibility and intimacy of your private group.
