Top 10 trips for solo travellers

Solo adventurers are welcome on all of our trips and usually make up at least half of the group, so you’ll be in good company when travelling with us. Plus you’ll benefit from the expert knowledge of a local guide and get to see all of the must-see sights as well as the hidden gems.

 

1. Highlights of the Greek Islands

From exploring the foothills of Mount Zas (also known as Mount Zeus) to wine-tasting on Santorini, there’s so many highlights to discover on a trip to Greece. Fortunately, with an expert leader to guide you through the country’s history, a solo small group trip makes it easier than ever. Let the bustling city pass you by as you stroll the streets of Athens. Swap city life for whitewashed houses and medieval Venetian mansions on Naxos - the largest island in the Cyclades - before ending the afternoon with a promenade stroll alongside Grotta beach.
