  • Why Solos?

The Solos experience

We have been serving the solo traveller since 1982; you really couldn’t be in better hands when you travel with Solos Holidays.

Every journey begins with a single step!

Our customers often tell us how they wish they had taken their first holiday with us sooner, but their apprehension got in the way of that initial step. Whilst travelling has become second nature to many, we recognise that there are those who need a little extra help summoning up the courage to take their first solo holiday. Whether or not you’re a seasoned traveller, our friendly and experienced staff are only a phone call away and will be happy to assist and answer any questions you may have.

The Solos ethos

Great experiences are always special when there’s someone to share them with. With Solos, you'll be joining a sociable group where there will always be somebody with whom to embrace those cherished moments which will become your fond memories. You can dip in and out of activities as you please. Flexibility is the name of the game; let’s face it, it’s your holiday so you should feel free to spend your time entirely as you wish, a further benefit of being with a Solos group.

Your Solos Tour Leader

The magic ingredient! Our Tour Leaders accompany every group* and understand exactly what you want to get from your trip. Many of them actually started off as Solos customers, just like you.

They will be there to lend a helping hand whenever it's needed and will work behind the scenes to ensure that everything runs smoothly, whilst blending in with the group to make sure everybody is happy and enjoying their holiday to the full.
We choose our Tour Leaders for their personality, their joie de vivre and their ability to deal with all situations; of course, a great sense of humour is also a pre-requisite of the role!

You will also benefit from the services of an experienced local guide who will join you for elements of your sightseeing experience, and who will be on hand to share their knowledge of the area with you.

Meet some of our Tour Leaders

ANDY WILSON

"Every trip, I welcome a group of strangers and at the end of the holiday I find myself saying cheerio to a new group of friends."

YVONNE ROWSE

"The welcome meetings and introductions are invaluable because that’s where everyone starts to get to know each other and the Tour Leader discovers what everyone’s looking for from their holiday."

PHIL ROBERTS

"Solos gives you the best of all worlds: group security, companionship and shared experiences, whilst being able to do your own thing."

NIGEL WEBBER

"I am lucky to meet so many great people who want to get out and see what the world has to offer - and do so with companions who very often become firm friends."

MELANIE ST JOHN LEWIS

"Solos organise some great activities in some great locations. Why not try skiing, a city break or a walking weekend in the UK?"

We are the champions

Solos has received an accolade (6 Gold and 2 Silver) in the Best Singles Operator category at the British Travel Awards every year since its inception in 2011. Voted for by the travelling public, we see these awards as recognition by our happy customers of all the hard work we carry out on your behalf as champions for the solo traveller, for which we are deeply grateful.

We are inspired to continue in our unstinting efforts to seek improvement in every aspect of our work to ensure we deliver the award-winning holidays and customer service which makes Solos a leader in its sector.

Peace of mind

Solos Holidays is an ATOL bonded tour operator which ensures that not only are your travel plans safe with us but so too is your money. Solos Holidays is fully bonded under Air Travel Organisers Licence number 0559.

Our price promise

It is our policy never to penalise those who book early on to one of our group holidays. Unlike most other travel companies, whenever we negotiate lower prices from our suppliers, we'll pass the savings to every customer in the group regardless of when they booked.

Plus, by booking early, you'll be guaranteed the lowest prices. Many airline prices rise over the season and if we are forced to increase our prices after you've confirmed your booking with us, your holiday cost is confirmed at the lower price. If prices fall after you've booked, you'll automatically be given the lower price. So by booking early you really can't lose!

Please note: we are only able to extend our price promise to holidays where the flight has been confirmed using our contracted group seats. We are unable to extend our price promise to bookings where the flight has been booked from a regional airport or on alternative flights to those we feature.

Age bands

We recognise that some of our customers prefer to travel with people of a similar age, so we have re-introduced age bands for some of our departures. The age bands shown are only a guide and it’s not our intention to exclude anyone simply because of their age. Look out for the Age Bands displayed throughout our website:

• Under 50 years of age
• Over 50 years of age
• All Ages

Age bands apply mainly across our Sun holidays but we are delighted to extend our new 50+ category to our Discovery escorted touring holiday programme for 2019.

For further information on our age bands please see our FAQ page.
