Traveling alone can feel daunting, but a wave of tour operators now specialize specifically in solo travelers, often with no single supplement fee and built-in group activities.
What to look for
- Group size — smaller groups (10-20) tend to build more real connection than large tours
- Pacing appropriate to your mobility and energy level
- Reviews specifically from solo travelers your age, not just general trip reviews
A repeat traveler with the same operator often develops an informal ongoing travel-friend group over multiple trips.
