Solo Travel

Solo travel

Travel on your own terms, never on your own unless you want to be.

Start your journey

Travel on your own terms

Travelling solo might be the most underrated luxury there is. Every museum lingered in, every early night or late breakfast, every detour: yours alone to choose. Whether you are newly solo, long-time solo, or simply have a wish-list your friends do not share, we would love to plan the trip.

Solo holidays come in more flavours than people expect. Solo travel tours and small group holidays give you a ready-made circle of travelling companions, with many departures designed so solo travellers pay no single supplement. Escorted tours handle every practicality while you enjoy the company. And fully independent solo trips, built tailor made, give you Michelin-level freedom with a safety net: us, on the end of the phone, the whole time.

We book solo holidays for every age and stage: solo travel in your 30s, solo holidays for over 50s and over 60s, adventure trips for solo travellers, solo luxury escapes and solo safaris. The common thread is honest matching. We take the time to understand the trip you want, then find the group, tour or itinerary where you will genuinely fit.

One conversation is all it takes to start. The world is rather good company.

Your Questions

Good to know

Will I have to pay a single supplement?

Not always. A growing number of tour operators offer solo departures or rooms with no single supplement, and we keep track of exactly who they are. Tell us your dates and we will hunt the supplement-free options first.

I am in my 30s. Are solo group tours full of much older travellers?

Some are, some really are not. There are solo travel groups pitched at 30s and 40s, faster adventure departures, and mixed-age tours with a lovely spread. We ask operators the awkward age-mix question so you do not have to.

What about solo holidays for over 50s and over 60s?

Some of the best trips we book. Escorted tours, river cruises and safaris are all wonderfully solo-friendly at any age, and there are dedicated over 50s solo departures if you would prefer the group to feel like contemporaries.

Is solo travel safe?

With sensible planning, very. We only use operators and hotels we trust, arrange transfers so you are never stranded, and you have us on the end of the phone throughout. Full ATOL protection covers the booking itself.
