Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

Working with Alex has been delightful! She has been wonderfully responsive and is quick to get back to me when I have questions. She has really helped make our travel plans for our school (two international trips this year!) super enjoyable so far.

EF Language School is located in London's beautiful Waterloo district, 10 minutes from London's top attractions such as Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Tate Modern Gallery and Big Ben. The school building has beautiful Victorian features from the 19th century, while the interior of the building is modern and equipped with the latest multimedia equipment. The building is closed to the public to provide a safe environment for students. The school was opened in 1965 and is very popular among students from France, Spain, Japan, Russia and even South America. It offers a very interesting educational program, summer schools combined with sightseeing, as well as an intensive educational program preparing for Cambridge exams. There is a café on campus serving French-Italian breakfasts, snacks as well as lunches cooked on site. The café offers British, Italian and Asian cuisine, the popular fish and chips and a large selection of paninis. I highly recommend the school to everyone who values high quality and children's safety. The teaching staff is young, friendly and open-minded. The school is very popular with the children of my French and Spanish cousins who spend their holidays in London.

You have the best pamphlets and your travel itinerary of well-rounded. However trying to make additions or adjustments ahead of time has come with some challenges. Price wise I think there are some fundamental adjustments you could make that would improve your product but I will be talking with my coordinator about those.
