Extras
Check-in at our hotel. When evening comes, we can enjoy a welcome drink with other Solos guests before dinner in the hotel restaurant.
After a leisurely hotel breakfast we head in to Windsor to embark on our river cruise taking in the sights along the River Thames and whilst enjoying the view, lunch will be served. Our afternoon in Windsor includes a guided walk which will showcase the highlights of this historical town including the great Windsor Castle itself, Market Cross House which has a dramatic lean as it was constructed in the 1700’s using unseasoned timber and the Guildhall built by the famous Sir Christopher Wren and where more recently Prince Charles married Camilla! When we return to our hotel, we’ll meet up for dinner in the evening.
After breakfast we head off for a morning at Cliveden. This popular National Trust heritage site is a delightful way to spend a few hours. Follow in the footsteps of kings and queens of the past as you stroll through a series of splendid gardens. After wandering around these beautiful surroundings you may want to challenge yourself in the Cliveden Maze where there is 500 metres of paths to navigate! We then catch the bus back to the hotel and the rest of your day is then at leisure before meeting up with your fellow Solos guests for dinner.
After a leisurely breakfast, check out and say goodbye.

There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual.We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides and hotel staff (including restaurant, kitchen and reception staff) of approximately £10. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of bar staff and housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (the rounding up of the drinks bill and a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, restaurants expect a 10% gratuity (do check that service has not already been added to your bill). For taxis 10% of the metered fare.

I was so nervous about embarking on my first Solos Holiday, but I shouldn’t have been – it was the best thing I have ever done!
Wow! Got to see the famous shipwreck beach in Zakynthos with Solos. Can’t wait to discover more of their destinations!
