UPDATED:

You can do it like this using Laravel's query Builder method - whereHas():

Your models should look like this (Many to Many Relationships):

Tour Model:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Tour extends Model
{
    public function countries() {
      return $this->belongsToMany('App\Country');
    }
}

and Country Model

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Country extends Model
{
    public function tours() {
      return $this->belongsToMany('App\Tour');
    }
}

and now you can fetch the desired results by using the below query:

Tour::where('featured', 1)
    ->whereHas('countries', function($q) {
        $q->where('id', 1);
    })
    ->get();

This will get you the collection of tours with featured = 1 and having country with id = 1.

Hope this helps!
