Trips in group: another form of discover the world.The world is more enjoyable in good company.
Destiny brings us together. Experience brings us together.
Before we leave, we'll talk with you to get to know you and put together a group of people you'll enjoy traveling with. A local Spanish-speaking guide at each destination. Travel in a group, but do it your way.

Open PositionsVietnamNorth and South · Mountains, Karst, Bay, and IslandSome people want to travel alone. Some people want to travel with someone.
And then there are those of us who want to a little bit of both.
Sharing a meal. Laughing on a car ride. Having someone to talk to about what you just saw. And being able to say, without giving explanations: "Today I'm staying at the beach."
DinnerSmall-group trips that work differently.
If you've ever been on a rushed, organized tour with flags and 50-seater buses, you know exactly what we're talking about. That doesn't happen on small group trips.
On the wayIt's not a 50-person trip with a little flag.
We all know each other. There are no strangers in the back of the bus.
It's not a tour of "if it's Tuesday, Belgium".
No sprints or monument lists. Each day has room to breathe.
It's not about being stuck together all day.
If one day you want to be on the beach while everyone else goes up to the temple, you can stay. We'll accompany you, we won't force you.
It's not a group to which you are assigned.
We'll talk to you before confirming your spot. So you'll know before you fly too.
Group Travel: what it means to us.
We talk to you first.
Before confirming your spot, we'll have a video call. You tell us what you're looking for and how you usually travel. We'll tell you what our trips are really like.
SunZen Rhythm.
We designed it with how you want to feel when you return in mind — not how many stamps you have in your passport.
Two people with you.
One person accompanies you. Another knows the place. Both are necessary. Learn more about us →
Bangkok · ThailandWe choose the group.
This is the question we get asked most often at the beginning: "What's this about you talking to me first?"
A group that works well transforms the trip. One that doesn't, ruins it — and on a trip together, that's noticeable from day one.
So before confirming your spot, we'll have a video call. A little time to chat. You tell us what you're looking for, how you usually travel, what you'd like to do and what you'd rather not. Not to decide if you are "fit" for SunZen. We just want to get to know you, because you're going to spend two weeks traveling with these people.
It's not an interview.
It's a conversation.
We'd rather lose a booking than make someone have an uncomfortable two weeks.
The first day is a little difficult. After that, usually, not anymore.
Many people arrive alone. It's quite common in a small group. And we understand the feeling of being overwhelmed: you arrive at the airport and you don't know anyone yet.
And suddenly they are no longer strangers.
That is, probably, the best thing about traveling like this.

Hoi AnTaking care of a trip is also being there when it matters most.
It's part of traveling. What makes it different is not having to deal with it alone. That's why one of us is there—not a customer service line you'll never get through to twice, but someone who's traveling with you and whom you already know.
Being well taken care of
shouldn't be a privilege.
For us, it's simply about doing our job well.

What it says the research.
We write about what really happens when you travel in a group. We don't try to sell you on it—we back it up with real studies.
Some questions that you might have.
Can I travel alone?
Yes, and that's usually the case. Many people travel alone, which is why we talk to each traveler beforehand. As for the rooms: it depends on the trip, and you'll see the details on the destination page.
What if the group isn't what I expected?
We talk to each traveler beforehand precisely to prevent that from happening. But if you feel the pace isn't right for you when you arrive, we'll adjust: a day off, a room change, a frank conversation. You won't have to deal with the problem alone.
How much do I have to pay to book?
€300 deposit to reserve your spot. If the trip doesn't reach the minimum number of participants, we'll refund the full amount. If you're the one canceling, the terms and conditions you receive in writing before making any payment will apply.
What if something unexpected happens and I have to cancel?
We have clear terms and conditions that we send you before confirming anything. For major unforeseen events—illness, border closures, family emergencies—we prioritize human interaction over the letter of the contract.
Do safaris work the same way?
You'll travel in a private vehicle reserved exclusively for your group, with a Spanish-speaking guide. On each safari's page, you'll find the itinerary and everything that's included.
Can I go with my partner, friend or family member?
Sure. We'd talk to both people at the same time. Just remember that everyone has to want this trip for their own reasons — nobody travels well being dragged.
When is the departure definitively confirmed?
When the group arrives at the minimum number of passengers. From that point on, the departure is confirmed and we will confirm it to you in writing.
