Date Posted: 15/03/2024
Craving the thrill of an epic adventure but don’t have a companion to take the plunge with? Why not give a guided tour a shot! We know travelling alone can feel quite daunting but being surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your passion for exploring is sure to help put those nerves at ease. Are you ready to live your travel dreams to the fullest?
Why choose a Guided Tour?
Expert Guides
Each trip is led by a local, expert guide which really takes the pressure off you! That means less planning and more relaxing as you delve into the local culture and truly immerse yourself into the solo travel experience. Of course, your safety and security are a top priority, so knowing you’re in capable hands and following the knowledge of someone who knows your location like the back of their hand is the perfect way to put your mind at ease. But wait, there’s more – your trip is not just about ticking off the famous tourist sights. Your guides will lead you to undiscovered local gems and places uncharted by regular tourists. Think vibrant bars, family-run eateries, authentic markets, postcard worthy viewpoints and hidden trails.
Share the Experience
Embarking on a solo journey is a bold leap into the enthralling unknown. As you step outside your comfort zone, you’ll meet people from all walks of life on this exciting journey. Many groups are often a diverse mix of people touring in a couple, with a friend or fearlessly going at it alone! However, one thing is for certain, everyone shares the same passion for travel and discovery! Not only will you gain a fellow adventurer by your side, but you’ll also make friends for life from every corner of the globe.
Freedom & Flexibility
While your journey is perfectly planned, there is also an abundance of free time for you to indulge in your own adventurous discoveries! Whether you want to shop around for those all-important souvenirs to take home to your loved ones or settle into a cosy café with an aromatic coffee and your favourite book, the day is yours to make of it what you will!
A lot of tour companies also offer you the option of booking into your own room should you want to. Typically, tour prices are structured around twin-shared rooms, offering a wonderful chance to connect with a fellow traveller of the same gender. However, we know that sometimes you prefer the comfort and privacy of rooming alone which is made possible by a small supplement fee.
