Solo Travellers - Frequently Asked Questions

If you're thinking of joining a tour as a solo traveller, know that you're not alone. We welcome solo travellers on all our group tours. To help you decide if joining a group tour is right for you, here are some FAQs asked by solo travellers.

Will I have to pay more as a solo traveller?

If you want your own room at no extra cost, check out our selection of tours above. On other tours, you'll only pay more if you want your own room. If you're happy to share, we'll pair you up with another solo traveller. On the majority of our tours we offer a 'no compulsory single supplement'. This means even if we can't pair you up, solo travellers will not need to pay the single supplement. A small selection of tours do carry a mandatory single supplement. These are generally found in our Handpicked range of tours.

Will there be other solo travellers on tour?

Our tours attract travellers of various ages and from countries all over the English-speaking world. You'll find a mix of solos, couples and groups of friends travelling together on tour. And it's unlikely you'll be the only solo traveller. Some destinations attract more solos than others. If you want to know how many solos are booked on your tour, ask our reservations team. They'd be happy to help.

Are your holidays suitable for single travellers over 50?

Yes, absolutely. Our tours are designed to suit travellers from a wide age range. Most of our trips involve a moderate level of activity. This could be exploring historic sites like Petra on foot, boarding trains and walking through local markets. So you do need to be in good health and have a normal level of fitness. Lots of over 50s solo travellers join our trips, so you won't feel out of place at all. As long as you feel young at heart, have an open mind and a thirst for new travel experiences, you'll have a fabulous time on holiday with us.

How does the rooming work?

Solo travellers of the same sex will be paired up to share a twin room. If you have opted for the single supplement then you will be accommodated in a single room. These rooms will either have one double bed for single use or a single bed.

Will I get much time to myself?

Our shorter tour itineraries are packed with sightseeing so that you get the most out of the destination in the time you have. The evenings are generally free for travellers to do as they wish. The tour group will often stick together for the evening meal, though this is a personal choice. If you prefer to head off on your own and explore, you are welcome to do so. Depending on the day's schedule, we'll always try to factor in free time at the sites you'll be visiting. This means you can walk around at leisure taking photographs and enjoying the site your way. Our longer tour itineraries often include a few free afternoons or a free day here and there. This gives you the flexibility to choose optional activities or relax in the hotel.

What should I expect as a solo traveller?

We include arrival transfers on our group tours, which means we'll meet you at the airport and transfer you to our joining hotel. Here you'll meet your tour leader and the rest of the group, which makes for a hassle-free arrival. The group often gels quickly and will choose to spend meals together but you have the choice to be as involved or as independent as you like. Even if you're the only solo traveller on the tour, you'll find the rest of the group friendly and eager to include you. Solo travellers can often look forward to making life-long friends on group tours with us.
