Sentences of the type in a) are known as ‘defining’
(or ‘identifying’ or ‘restrictive’) relative clauses, because the clause
defines (identifies or restricts) the noun. They answer the question ‘What kind
of person, thing, etc do you mean?’

‘non-restrictive’) relative clauses do not define (identify or restrict). They
provide extra information about a previously defined (Identified or restricted)
noun.
Sentence a
means that only the 21-day tour went to all the places the speaker/ writer
wanted to visit. Sentence b means
that the tour the speaker/writer took (and has previously identified) went to
all the places and it happened to be 21 days long.
