Solo travel might seem daunting at first, but it's becoming an increasingly popular way to visit new places, especially on guided holidays tailored for single travellers.
There are numerous reasons why someone might choose to travel independently, and solo travellers come from all walks of life, but they all share the same passion - a desire to explore the world! Even if your family, friends or partner can't join the holiday you have always dreamed of, travelling alone shouldn't stop you from discovering amazing destinations.
Whether you’re seeking new experiences or simply looking to meet like-minded travellers, solo travel offers countless rewards. Check out below the benefits of Solo Traveller Holidays.

Solo travellers can enjoy time to themselves
Solo holidays offer the comfort and convenience of your very own hotel room, providing ample ‘me-time’ to relax or explore at your own pace. Whether you want to visit specific sights, indulge in local cuisine, or simply unwind, our solo tours provide the freedom to do it your way.
Meet like-minded people
It’s often the people you meet on holiday that are the highlight of the entire trip and you’ll have amazing memories of the shared experiences you had together. The beauty of a solo holiday is that you will be travelling with a group of other independent travellers and potentially make friends for life.
You’ll never be alone
Group travel offers solo travellers the best of both worlds: independence with the added security and companionship of like-minded individuals. Plus, our expert local guides are on hand to share their knowledge and recommendations, ensuring you have an authentic and enjoyable experience.
Solo travellers are always welcome
Remember, solo travellers can always join one of our regular holidays where we always have a limited number of single rooms available. As independent travel continues to grow, we’re constantly reviewing and expanding our solo traveller holiday offerings to meet the increasing demand, ensuring there’s always a perfect option for you.
