The Scoop: What to Know About Trafalgar Tours
Solo travel tours are one of the fastest growing sectors of group travel for all ages. They’re popular with solo travelers because they offer shared adventures that translate into easy camaraderie, and they take the tedious details like hotel bookings and flight reservations out of planning a solo trip. Once the trip starts, you’ll be escorted by expert guides who handle everything from airport transfers and meals to tours and guides, too.
2024’s Best Tour Companies for Solo Travelers
Many tour groups for solo travelers will pair singles with a roommate so you won’t pay a penny extra for traveling alone; others will offer single rooms at a discounted rate so you won’t have to pay the entire dreaded “single supplement.” Some of the best companies even have tours designed specifically for solo travelers. Here are my picks for 2024’s top companies offering solo travel tours.

FAQs and benefits of traveling solo with a group
Solo travel can offer you a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, gain independence, and have an adventure. Plus, going on a guided tour as a solo traveler comes with great perks—including, private rooms in handpicked hotels, local experts and a Tour Director to handle all the details, and the company of equally curious travelers to share your journey. Here are a few other compelling reasons to go solo:
- Take the guesswork out of exploring someplace new. Need tickets to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna? Want to dine like a true Italian at a local’s home in Rome? Wondering how to hire a boat to float down the Nile River? Our experts will help you securely and easily navigate a destination you’ve only dreamed about exploring.
- No need to find a travel partner. Perhaps the biggest reason people travel solo is not having someone with matching travel interests. Traveling solo with single travel groups opens up a whole new world of possibilities. You get to go where you want, when you want, chasing your dreams without waiting for someone to come along for the ride.
- Enjoy adventures beyond your comfort zone. Traveling solo isn’t just exhilarating, but easy on one of our small-group adventure trips . You’ll find yourself learning and trying new things, from what you do (hands-on activities) to where you’ll go (roads less traveled) to how you'll get around (think outside the bus). All you need to get started is an open mind, a good pair of walking shoes, and a passion for taking the side streets.

Thanks to its mix of culture, history, natural landscapes, and centuries-old culinary traditions, Europe is an ideal destination for travelers who book solo vacation packages. Individual countries and regions of Europe also make great choices when you go solo. For the best solo travel experiences, we recommend the following:
- Greece . Explore the best of the Greek Islands alongside fellow solo travelers as you hop from Athens to Crete and over to Santorini.
- Portugal . Sampling Portugal’s signature pastel de nata, a flaky and flavorful custard tart, is much more fun when you have new friends to share in the excitement of taking that first bite.
- Peru . Make your way from cosmopolitan Lima to historic Cuzco to the sweeping Sacred Valley—and mystical Machu Picchu—alongside fellow solo travelers.
- Central Europe . Whether you’re excited to see Bavarian castles or sample Swiss chocolate, there’s no better way to tour Switzerland, Germany, and Austria than with like-minded travelers.
- Egypt . With fellow solo travelers by your side, you’ll decipher hieroglyphics at towering temples, stand in the shadows of the Pyramids of Giza, and take to the Nile by boat.
- Ireland . Green landscapes and frothy Guinness await solo travelers on the Emerald Isle, where making new friends comes naturally.
- Thailand . Visit an elephant sanctuary and hop between Thailand’s temples, markets, and islands with fellow solo travelers.

- Japan . Be dazzled by Japan’s natural beauty, rich history, and distinctive cuisine—and bond with your fellow solo travelers over hands-on activities, such as cooking classes.

- Spain . Spain charms from Catalonia to the Costa del Sol with its mix of cosmopolitan, coastal, and cultural treasures on solo travel tours.

Yes, the company retains the right to change the maximum group size for any of its tours at any time without prior notice. Group sizes indicated on the website, brochure, and other marketing literature are for guide purposes only. Please see our booking conditions for full details.
What happens if I need to leave the tour early for personal reasons?
If you choose to leave the tour before its completion, you will be responsible for any additional expenses incurred, such as repatriation costs.

What should I know about booking excursions or tours while on holiday?
Any excursions or tours you book while on holiday are not part of your original contract with us. Even if these options are listed on our website or in our brochure, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour, not with us. We are not responsible for the provision or any issues that occur during these activities. Please see our booking conditions for full details.

More Solo Holidays
Solo Traveller Holidays
Did you know over half our customers are solo travellers?
Our small group guided tours are specifically designed for solo travellers. You can expect a mix of gender (typically more females) with an expert guide and lots of free time. We believe these are the perfect holidays for a solo traveller who doesn't want to travel alone!
We have thousands of adventures including exploring Vietnam, kayaking through Croatia and trekking the Inca Trail. There’s no need to worry about convincing a friend to join you, you can head off and explore the world with The Adventure People instead!
Hassle-free adventures
Our aim is to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible to experience unique trips at the best price, no matter if you travel on your own or as part of a group. You will be able to socialise, meet new people but also have some time to yourself throughout the holiday.
Accommodation made easy
We try to make this part as simple as possible. You will be paired with another traveller of the same sex to share a room during your adventures so you won’t have to pay anything extra. If you prefer your own room you can pay a little extra (we work hard to keep this as little we can) which we can arrange after making your booking, just let us know.
Authentic and affordable trips
We try to work with as many local providers as possible. It means we can offer you the biggest range of adventures and it enables you to see countries in a more unique and authentic way. Plus, we can keep the cost of the trip down by cutting out the middle man!
We work hard with our suppliers to minimize extra costs like single room supplements for solo travellers.
Like-minded travellers
Most trips are guided in small groups, usually made up of between 10 and 15 people. In these groups, half or more will be fellow solo travellers. You get to meet like-minded people who all have the same sense of adventure and thirst for exploring. You'll have a local tour leader to look after all of the group’s needs and logistics and ensure you have the best experience while you are away.
Independent travel
If you like to travel a bit more independently, we have a selection of tours that are self-guided. We will equip you with all the things you may need for your adventure and you can explore at your own pace. Again, we try to keep any single supplements as low as possible by working closely with our local partners.
Adventure Holidays For Singles
If you're single this type of holiday is fantastic, we would say that but they really are. We have loads of trips for different age ranges and interests. The small group adventures offer a social holiday for singles which provide an immediate group (or squad) to explore with. You'll certainly make friends for life.
How does room-sharing work?
If you are happy to share, the rooms will be allocated based on gender and age. So, you'd be paired with someone of the same gender and as close to your age as possible.
Now, you might be thinking, 'suppose I don't like my roomie?'. Well, although very rare, this does of course happen. This is a good example of why having a guide is a good idea. If you let your guide know they'll be able to find a solution which works and you can enjoy your holiday. We must stress, this situation is very rare!
If you would prefer your own room then in many cases you can pay a little extra during the checkout process to secure on your booking. Alternatively, we can request your own room from the operator and we try to keep the cost as low as possible for you.
What is the age of other travellers?
This can vary hugely depending on the trip. Take a look on our website for the age range of the tours you are interested in, some providers specialise in particular age groups and that will be listed here. Remember you can also ask our experts.
In general terms though the average age is around 39. However, we have some adventures with an age limit of 18-29 and the average age here is 24. Other adventures have an age range from 18-39 and the average age here is around 30. Then to consider are the tours themselves, some adventure tours just appeal more to a younger or older demographic.
We can always find out the mix of people booked onto any tour.
How social is it?
Most tours have a good mix of time as a group and time alone. In the evenings, for example, you may have dinner all together but you can choose not to join if you prefer to do your own thing. There will also be free time built into the itinerary for you to explore independently.
You can make the holiday as sociable as you like and the choice is really yours.
Can I get my own room?
Yes, on most adventures you're able to pay a little extra for your own room.
Are other solo travellers on the trips?
Yes, typically each group is made up of around 50% solo travellers and the rest a mix of friends and couples.
How many people are in each group?
Groups sizes range from 1 or 2 up to typically 16 as a maximum but check the adventure details to be sure.
Solo Female Travel & Holidays
Small group travel is a great way not only to get to enjoy a holiday but to explore, meet others and have a great time. For anyone, safety in numbers is a good thing as is the back up of a good guide! We have quite a lot of people book with us for whom it is their first time travelling alone. 65% are people who book with us are female by the way!

Editoral Review of Encounters Travel
Encounters Travel is a UK based travel company specializing in adventurous cultural tours . With over 50 years of experience, they have unbeatable knowledge and guarantee the best customer service. They offer a wide selection of tours that’ll take you around the world, catering to people of all ages, interests, and budgets.
What Makes Encounters Travel Stand Out?
They offer small group tours around the world, with an adventure twist. Their tours are about having an active and adventurous time , balanced with cultural activities. Encounters Travel creates innovative small group itineraries, as well as offering custom private tours. They focus on providing amazing experiences within a reasonable budget range.
Who Will Enjoy Travelling with Encounters Travel?
Travelers seeking adventure tours tied in with nature, wildlife, history, and culture will most enjoy their tours. Since they cater to people of all nationalities, it’s great chance to meet travelers from all over the globe.
Their tours offer great value for money, as they are focused on activities and authentic experiences. So whether you’re a budget traveller that’s trying to stretch their dollar, willing to pay premium for luxury, or something in between - there’s an adventure made for you.
Their tours are primarily enjoyed by active travelers, in the 20-40 range. However, they do have tours made for families with children to enjoy as well.
Top Destinations
They operate tours around the world, with a majority of tours in Europe and Africa. From a hike up the physically challenging trails in South America to discovering Egypt’s Pyramids of Gyza, they cover all your bucket list destinations.
Tours with set itineraries will take you along the classic routes, where you will experience the highlights of the area. However their escorted and tailor-made tours are there for those seeking a more specialised trip.
Encounters Travel Style
Those who travel with Encounters will expect an adventure of their lifetime without cutting corners to save money or time. It’s all about getting to interact with travelers and locals, being immersed, and learning about cultures in an authentic and responsible way.
Accommodations are simple, but comfortable. Expect hotels in the 3-4 star range (for local standards), homestays, and camping. The places are always safe, clean, and comfortable, but will not be luxurious by any means. Transportation varies depending on what tour style you choose. For shoestring budget tours, you’ll be using more public transportation. Standard level tours will make use of private transportation. Majority of their tours are moderately physically challenging and will require you to walk, bike, or trek.
Groups are small - the max is 20 but more typically you’ll travel with between 12-15 people. Custom designed itineraries are also an option for more independent minded travelers.
They have six different ways of traveling...
Small Group Adventure Tours: These tours are made for those traveling solo, with some friends or a couple, and enjoy being in a group setting. Small Group Adventure Tours are great for those that don’t mind meeting new faces and socializing throughout the journey. Build friendships with people of all different nationalities while going on an adventure of your lifetime. They’ll take you to exotic and exciting destinations - some you may have never even considered visiting!
Shoestring Budget Adventure Tours: Maybe you’re trying to watch your spendings without sacrificing adventure . Or you’re a long-term traveler who would rather see more and can deal with discomfort. Encounters Travel is transparent and honest about how their budget tours will call for larger groups, use of public transit, and staying at 3-star hotels.
Overland Tours & Safari Adventures: Made for young adults and seniors alike, Overland Tours and Safari Adventures are made for those looking for a cultural, scenic, and wildlife experience. See the key attractions in Africa, while exploring places off the beaten path too. Mid-ranged hotels and lodges are arranged for you. Or if you want to ramp up the adventure level, you can choose their camping option. Also you can decide if you want to do the whole trip, or only partake in one particular section.
Family Adventure Tours: If you want some family vacation ideas that also cater to the adults, look no further! These itineraries are created to be enjoyed by everyone and make for a memorable family holiday. Trips can be tailored to suit your family’s particular requirements. Want child-friendly guides? To meet other families traveling with kids? More flexibility to move on when your kids are bored? They’ve got you covered.
Escorted Group Adventure Tours: Reputable and specially selected experts will guide you throughout your entire journey, giving you in depth explanations and an educational tour experience. Depending on your destination, they’ll either lead the entire tour by themselves, or work with a local guide. This is the best way to go if you want a specialised itinerary, more talks, and workshops in your trip. Go home feeling like an expert yourself.
Tailor-Made and Adventure Tours: These are made for people who want to have private tours and fully customized itineraries. Want to know the best part? These can made for both budget and luxury travelers! Focused on allowing you explore, learn, and appreciate the cultural heritage of your chosen country, itineraries are made for you to make the most out of your limited time. Have more free time to chat with locals, choose how much public transportation you want to use, and modify the suggested itineraries.
Why Choose a Tour with Encounters?
They strive to strike a balance and keep their tours focused on a good combination of fun and culture, regardless of the country. So if visiting important cultural icons and attractions is important to you, but you grow weary of non-stop sightseeing, Encounters Travel would be the perfect tour company for you.
Reviewers have mentioned in the past that accommodations aren’t what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel in western countries. Be aware that local standards are different and may not be what you expect, but they use the best hotels at the level stated. Hotel breakfasts are also a hit-or-miss, and customers say they’ve had repeat meals. If an authentic culinary experience is important to you, you might want to take that into consideration.
Overall, Encounters Travel is a great option for those looking for adventure around the world. A trip to Egypt , Morocco, or Greece is just around the corner. Just choose your destination and budget range, and let them take care of the rest.

'SOLOS ONLY'
We're the global Solo Travel Awards winners for our 'Solos Only' choices across land and water.
Our 'solos only' choices include small group tours only for solo travellers around Australia and across the globe. And if touring is not your style, we include 'Solos Only' groups with resort escapes and cruise groups.
Search SOLOS ONLY tours Search CRUISE CIRCLE FOR SOLOS groups
SMALL GROUP TOURS
Share your journey, without the drawback of big coach tours or the solitude of being alone. Not all tours are made the same – we love small groups, and it’s backed up from our solo traveller feedback that they do too!
There’s less queues, less waiting, more chance of getting to know your fellow travellers, plus enjoy more interaction with your local tour guide – all up, a more personal, and authentic travel experience.
You’re probably starting to get the picture of the difference between small and large groups.
Because of our small groups, we have more freedom to find the dining experiences where not just tourists dine – you won’t just be ‘hotel dining’, night in and night out. And, where large coach tours are restricted to the big hotels we have the option to use boutique hotels with the charm of the destination.
AGE-MATCHED TRAVEL GROUPS
A key ingredient to our solo travel tours is age-matched groups.
Our widest choice is for solo travellers 45 years and over, and our Cruise Circle for Solos cruise groups are best suited to cruise fans 40 years and over. In 2020 we introduced Under 49's ; with our first tour to Sri Lanka for 30 to 49 years. Our age-matched groups have a proven track record, and you can read the countless testimonials from fellow solo travellers.
7 TRAVEL STYLES
Not all solo travellers are the same. We have seven travel styles. You'll find one or more that suit you.
Discovery - leisure touring Get Going - walking and adventure tours On The Water - ocean and river cruise groups Combo - a tour & cruise combination Relax - our resort escapes Luxe - luxury travel Essentials - budget minded but not scrimping on value

THE BEST IS INCLUDED
What you see is what you get. There's no endless list of optional tours because we've created itineraries with all the best included. But we also know that many of our solos that join us are independent travellers, who seek out their own time. It's why you'll see a balance in our Solos Only itineraries for group time and the time to make your own discoveries.

Can solo travellers book overland tours
At Encounters Travel our adventure overland tours often travel through several countries to give you a truly in-depth experience - seeing many places off the beaten track as well as the highlights that will leave you speechless.
With an overland tour there is often one main long route that the expedition vehicle will follow - for example, Cape Town to Victoria Falls) - you can either do the full trip or if you have a particular interest in just some of the countries en-route.
Overall, our overland adventure tours offer great value for money whilst giving you the comfort and security of an organised trip.
An overland tour isn't just for the young and intrepid; our accommodated tours have an average age of around 40, and we regularly carry people in their 60s and 70s, as well as 20s and 30s, making for interesting mixed groups - forging life long friendships.
An overland adventure is a perfect opportunity to create lasting memories, which will keep you dreaming of returning for more.
What is solo travelling
If you're wondering what a solo traveller is, it usually means someone who is venturing out exploring the world on their own.
People often describe their first solo trip as an almost religious experience - to take in new surroundings unfiltered by the prejudices, tastes, or preferences of a travelling companion can be heady stuff.
Solo travel gives you the chance to indulge yourself fully.
Travelling solo may sound daunting if it's your first time thinking about doing it but it's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Of course, it's fun and exciting travelling with a partner, but everyone should try adventuring solo at least once in their lives!
A whole new world opens up to you when you travel alone. Solo travel allows you to learn so much about yourself, like trusting your instincts. It can be a liberating experience. As you overcome challenges and enjoying personal triumphs.
Here's what you will learn:
You will learn to be comfortable outside of your comfort zone.
Comfort zones are dangerous places because we very often go beyond the walls we have built around ourselves.
Travelling solo is a sure way of facing those fears and realising that you are - and were always - capable beyond measure.
You will meet strangers who will soon become life-long friends, and relying on your instinct as you navigate your journey. These experiences offer up invaluable life lessons.
You will gain a new perspective, buckets of self-confidence and steadfast self-trust.
You'll forge lifelong friendships
Our Encounters Travel overland adventure tour is ideal for solo travellers who want the comfort and safety of travelling with other like-minded people.
It's an incredible experience to see and meet people from different countries and cultures bond over their shared love of travel, nature and wildlife.
Solo travel allows you to share connections with others in a natural way - usually, when you travel with friends or a partner you are less likely to interact with other travellers.
You will build a relationship with yourself
The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves - at times we may struggle to separate the thoughts and opinions projected on us from our inner desires.
While trends consume us we often lose sight of who we are and what we value, and that is why travelling solo provides the opportunity to reflect and silence the external world.
Solo travel supports this process of allowing you to build a strong relationship with yourself - breaking routine gives you the chance to be unapologetically you. Which is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
