  What can I say apart from absolutely amazing from start to finish. Great hotels and great group of solo travellers who made the trip. The guide was incredible - he was a wealth of information and he looked after all our needs and was just lovely. Everyday was somewhere new and exciting – lifetime experiences that I will never forget. I highly recommend Newmarket Holidays to make your holiday an enjoyable, busy, jaw dropping none stop experience. India's Golden Triangle, Tigers and Amritsar’s Golden Temple - Exclusively Solos. March 2024
    I had not been on a solo holiday before but decided to take the plunge. I was quite apprehensive but need not have worried - from the start it was a very friendly group. The tour itself was excellent. Croatia is a wonderful destination and I can certainly recommend this holiday - I feel sure that I will take another solo trip in the future, having “broken the ice” on this one. Delights of Croatia - Exclusively for Solos, October 2024

I went in June on a Solo trip to Kenya. This was amazing so well organised a perfect trip from booking till arrival home. The best experience for my first time on a group holiday. Will definitely travel with this amazing company again. Thank you for such an amazing memory particularly important to me as it was a pre chemotherapy trip. Thank you for the memories which I treasure. Kenyan Wildlife and Coastal Explorer - Exclusively Solos. August 2024
