Choosing solo travel in 2025

Discover the world and the pleasures of solo travelling with our small-group, escorted tour collection.

With the start of the new year, it’s the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone and discover the world – but why let travel stress and larger groups slow your travel plans down? With 10 tours in our Solo Traveller Collection and over 40 others with no-single supplements, we’re proud to offer the perfect getaway for experienced independent travellers and first timers alike.  

Encompassing fascinating excursions, immersive cultural experiences and social opportunities sprinkled throughout, our carefully crafted itineraries help you step out of your comfort zone in a safe and enriching way. Whether you’re a seasoned solo explorer or are taking your first steps out of your comfort zone, this is your sign to give solo travel a try in 2025.

Opportunities to meet new, like-minded friends  

On one of our tailored solo travel tours, you may be travelling solo, but you’ll never feel alone. With a number of social opportunities, including welcome drinks, dinners and farewell meals, included in the price, you’ll be well-placed to make friends for life amongst your like-minded tour group. What’s more, we appreciate that meeting new people can be a daunting prospect, so you’ll have free rein to interact with the other guests as much or as little as you’d like – it’s completely up to you!  

Smaller group sizes  

As keen sightseers ourselves, we appreciate that group sizes can make or break your touring experience, but with each exclusively solo tour capped at only 25 travellers, you can rest assured that you’ll have fewer distractions and more intimate guidance. As a smaller group, you’ll also have easier access to each destination’s most alluring attractions, meaning you’ll spend less time queueing and more time for the moments that matter.  

Wish-list destinations for solo travellers 

With fewer passengers on these tours, we’re always considerate of how travel-friendly our destinations are and select only the most solo-suitable settings for our tours. From Canada’s Rocky Mountain resorts to Europe’s coastal treasures and the cultural highlights of Asia’s southern stretches, each destination has been hand-picked for its convenience, accommodations and accessibility to ensure your travel experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Each itinerary is purpose-built with independent exploration in mind, and you’ll enjoy plenty of time to venture out under your own steam in between each included excursion.

Guided by friendly tour managers  

It goes without saying that travelling solo can be a daunting prospect, but you’ll never feel alone when travelling with us. Our expert tour managers will help you step out of your comfort zone, make the most of every location and make memories that you won’t ever forget. And who knows – you might even learn a few things about yourself, gain confidence under guidance or find a newfound passion for independent travel! 

Your holiday, your way 

While you’ll enjoy plenty of fascinating included excursions throughout your trip, we’re proud to offer you the freedom to tailor your experience to your own tastes with a host of unforgettable optional activities. From island-hopping trips to Croatia’s coastal gem, Hvar, and guided wildlife walks through Kerala’s evergreen forests to immersive cultural experiences in the Maasai Mara, the opportunities to personalise your tour experience are endless.

Flights, transfers and accommodation – all included  

One of the best parts about our award-winning solo tours, is that they’re carefully crafted with flights, transfers, and accommodations included, meaning you can fully focus on making memories and friendships to last a lifetime. What’s more, with every destination stay, you’ll be guaranteed your own private guestroom so you can always rest and recharge away from your fellow travellers if need be.
