Our family’s love for travel goes way back. In fact, we’re so passionate about travel that in 1995, we started Bunnik Tours.

SMALL GROUPS
More Time with Your Guide
Life’s too short to spend it waiting around. That’s why our tours are limited to no more than 20 travellers, creating an intimate experience suited to what you actually want to see and do. Less time waiting, more time exploring – just the way travel should be.
Less Waiting Around
In small groups, you get to the good stuff faster. From getting on and off the coach, to hotel check-ins, comfort stops and meals – everything is easier, so we can show you more of what you came to see.
by Carlos Puente
Our tour guides are know-it-all’s which is actually a good thing. Travelling in a small group means more time to learn from experienced guides who are eager to share their passion for their country. In other words, more opportunities to discover the secrets that only the locals know about.
More Space on the Coach
On a Bunnik Tour, everyone gets a window seat. That’s right. We keep our group sizes small but our coaches spacious, so you’ll always find plenty of extra seats to stretch out in comfort.
Better Views
Full coaches often mean your holiday snaps feature the back of someone’s head. When the coach isn’t full, you’ll spend less time scrambling for a better view and more time soaking up the scenery.
More Great Memories
The only thing we love more than travel, is doing it together. Small groups provide more meaningful connections between like-minded travellers and the people, culture and places we visit. It really is ‘who’ you go with that makes all the difference.
Palenque, Mexico by Zoe Francis
“ONE OF THE BEST TRIPS I HAVE DONE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

More Accommodation Choice
Big groups are limited to large, and often impersonal, hotels. Travelling in smaller groups gives us greater choice when it comes to where you rest your head at night, including small, character-filled stays that are off-limits to large groups. We choose our hotels based on location, character and their ability to add to your holiday experience.
More Time to Explore
Staying in centrally located accommodation means stepping straight into the pulse of local life. Whether you’re wandering down Rio de Janeiro’s lively Copacabana Promenade or stopping to bask in the atmosphere of a Peruvian plaza on your way back to the hotel, we put you right in the heart of the action — allowing you to truly connect with the culture that’s shaped your destination, rather than wasting time caught up in traffic.
Flexibility
Small groups are more flexible, so we can change the itinerary around to suit the local conditions. Even if it’s off the beaten track, we’re always down for a detour.
Get Off the Tourist Trail
For logistical reasons, large groups rarely stray from the typical tourist trail. With a smaller group, we can venture to lesser-travelled areas, visiting local villages and taking part in authentic cultural experiences.
Be a Responsible Tourist
Small groups are low-impact and don’t spoil the very place you’ve come to see. By not being limited to large hotels and restaurants, we are able to better support the communities who are sharing their world with us.

ALL CONSIDERED
Leave the details to us. We’ve put everything you’ve ever wanted to see and do (plus a few hidden gems) into our small group tours. No hidden extras or cheeky costs: the price you pay is the price you pay. That includes accommodation, special experiences and everything in-between.
No Hidden Extras
Our tours include all sightseeing, return international airfares on our Classic Tours, and even taxes and tips where it is customary. All you need to worry about is having the time of your life.
Tipping Made Easy
Tipping is expected in many of the countries we visit and often makes up a large portion of people’s wages, so it’s important to get it right. But you don’t need to worry about that. It’s included in the cost of your tour.

Baños, Ecuador by Victor Aleman
Character Accommodation
From staying close to Machu Picchu in the foothills of an exquisite cloud forest to enjoying two unforgettable nights right inside the breathtaking Iguazu Falls National Park, if it’s worth the experience, we’ll have it included as part of your tour.
Meals
Breakfast is included daily on tour, along with group welcome and farewell dinners. We’ll also include some special culinary experiences as we explore. But as fellow travellers ourselves, we know how important it is to take your taste buds on tour, so you’ll have the freedom to eat like a local and try whatever catches your eye too.
Special Experiences
As a family of travellers at heart, for us it’s not just about clocking up countries or as simple as leading you to a destination. Of course we’ll show you the iconic attractions, but our tours dig a little deeper, including the types of cultural experiences you can’t do on your own or with a large group.
Multi-Night Stays
Why stay one night when you can stay two? Our itineraries include multi-night stops to give you more time to take in your surroundings. It’s all about finding the balance between squeezing every bit of fun out of your time away and remembering to hit pause, relax and just be in holiday mode.
Transportation
Anybody can give you a coach tour. But there’s nothing like cruising the streets of Baños in a colourful, open-air chiva or navigating the waters of Lake Titicaca — the world’s highest lake — by hydrofoil. We like to mix it up when it comes to getting around, so you can experience your destination from a new perspective.

FREEDOM TO EXPLORE
The memories that come from spontaneous exploration is something no tour group can mimic. So we don’t. Our tours are personal, immersive and blend just the right balance of guidance with the freedom to explore.
We plan most of your day, but not all of it
Having a guide is good and ours are the best in the business. But sometimes, you need to break free. On a Bunnik Tour, you’ll have plenty of time to do your own thing.
Take a little detour
If there’s something you want to see or do that’s not on the itinerary, no sweat. You can use these gaps to tick them off your bucket list. We also offer optional excursions based on special-interest activities which we know don’t always appeal to everyone, so you’ll have the freedom to take part or go your own way.
Enjoy the moment
For many travellers, a Bunnik Tour can be their first taste of a dream destination. From exploring centuriesold streets to sipping pisco sours in the afternoon sun, we give you the freedom to make every moment count.

FITNESS TO TRAVEL
From exploring the untamed wilderness of the Amazon to winding through the storied streets of Cusco, we want you to enjoy every step of your journey, not struggle through it. Let’s work together to find the perfect tour that suits your fitness level.
We’re passionate about creating tours that are filled with incredible experiences you might not be able to have on your own or in a larger group. However, that does mean aspects of our itineraries can be challenging for some travellers.
A Bunnik Tour is perfect for independently minded travellers with good levels of mobility. While we don’t put specific age limits on our tours, we do impose a firm policy on the level of fitness required by all our clients to ensure your safety and the safety of other travellers.
Because of this, we reserve the right to refuse bookings if we feel that the requirements of the tour are too demanding.
Bunnik Tours travellers need to:
Be able to walk 4-5 hours on uneven surfaces, on any given day
Walk up multiple flights of stairs and short, steep hills
Stand for extended periods of time without needing to sit down, often in hot/humid climates
Carry their own luggage
Get on and off various modes of transport without assistance, including small boats
Navigate archaeological sites, which are often uneven and unstable
Drive along very bumpy dirt and gravel roads for extended periods of time
Travel to high altitudes

We’ll help you every step of the way, but it pays to be organised ahead of time. Here’s what to look out for.
Deposit & Payments
To confirm your booking, we require a non-refundable deposit. We will then arrange a number of progress payments to make along the way. See our website for full details.
Travel Insurance
You will need to arrange your own travel insurance. It’s compulsory for every tour, as we’d hate for something to happen to you and you’re not covered.
Passport & Visas
We can help you obtain any required travel visas, but it’s important to note that they can take time to arrange.
Travel Documents
Your travel documents, including itineraries and hotel lists, are prepared approximately three weeks before you commence your tour.
