Bunnik Tours has released its first wave of Europe itineraries for 2026, headlined by the return of its luxury In-Style small group tours to Morocco and Türkiye.
Building on the success of their inaugural season in Europe, three additional In-Style departures have been added for 2026. These itineraries are designed for travellers seeking a more indulgent escape – combining even smaller groups (maximum 16 guests) with opulent stays and deluxe experiences.
This initial launch features 12 Europe itineraries and a total of 87 departures, spanning perennial favourites like Jewels of Dalmatia and Croatia & Slovenia, as well as off-the-beaten-track gems including Georgia, Armenia & Azerbaijan.
The release marks the earliest the family-run company has opened bookings for Europe. This comes off the back of a noticeable uptick in early bookings, with lead times for 2025 departures now averaging 8 to 10 months — a trend expected to continue into 2026.
Bunnik Tours’ Joint-CEO Dennis Bunnik said travellers are not only booking earlier but increasingly choosing to travel during the shoulder season for a more relaxed and rewarding experience.
“Two thirds of our Europe departures in this first release fall within the off-peak periods between March and May, and September to October, when it’s less crowded and the weather’s milder,” Mr Bunnik said.
“We’re seeing a growing number of guests upgrading to business class or choosing our In-Style tours for a more elevated and rewarding travel experience.
“They still enjoy the culturally immersive moments we’re known for, with the addition of deluxe experiences like an opulent high tea at the Pera Palace or a night under the stars in a luxury desert camp.”
Bunnik Tours also continues to lead the way in offering small group tours to lesser-known and often hard to reach destinations, with Georgia, Armenia & Azerbaijan remaining a standout option.
These regions are ideal for travellers seeking unique cultural experiences, spectacular scenery and – in Georgia’s case – an emerging reputation as one of Europe’s most colourful and diverse foodie destinations.
Best explored with the confidence and support of a guided small group tour, this itinerary has grown in popularity, with two additional departures added for 2026.
Travelling in a small group to these unique destinations has many benefits, from enhanced safety and simplified logistics to shared experiences and deeper cultural insights. It also opens the door to unique, authentic moments that can be difficult to access when travelling independently.
“We know our travellers are curious and confident, and we’re proud to give them the opportunity to explore destinations that are a little harder to reach — all within the safety and support of a small group,” Mr Bunnik said.
“Small group touring is where the magic really happens — it’s personal, it’s flexible, and it gives people space to connect with a destination at their own pace.
“All our tours are designed right here in Australia, for Australian travellers. It means we understand what our guests value – and that’s comfort, connection and a locally immersive experience wherever they go.”
More itineraries will be released in the coming months, with Bunnik Tours continuing to expand its offering to meet early demand from Australian travellers planning their next adventure.
