“Very helpful, made the booking simple, and answered all my queries. I can now sit back and look forward to my first Solos holiday.” - Graham, Solos Customer
Meet the group before you travel
Before you fly, all your travel documents are ready to view in our handy app, and you’ll be added to a friendly WhatsApp group too—perfect for meeting your fellow Solos guests, asking questions or even arranging an airport coffee before the adventure begins.
“It was extremely helpful having the Solos App, plus the WhatsApp group set up in advance, so we could all meet up at the airport rather than travel alone.” - Sharon, Solos Customer
Share your trip with a small group
You’ll travel with a small group of like-minded solos, making it easy to settle in and form genuine connections—strangers quickly start to feel like friends. From the first WhatsApp chat to the final toast, you’ll share the journey with people who enjoy good company as much as their own space.
“There's a whole crowd of people you can hang out with if you want and you can spend time on your own if you don't fancy being in the company of others." - Andy, Solos Customer
Your Tour Leader takes it from here
They’ll meet you at the airport or at the hotel, and handle every detail—check-ins, dinner plans, daily itineraries, optional excursions and the unexpected bits too. They’re your your go-to person throughout. With everything handled, you’re free to enjoy the days your way—join group moments, explore independently, or mix the two.

“That's the beauty of travelling with Solos: the tour rep is always around if you need them, as are the other travellers.” - Peter, Solos Customer
