Best solo trips for women

For culture lovers

Europe's cultural heritage is second to none. From the medieval cathedrals of northern Europe to the renaissance art and architecture of Italy. Female solo travellers will be spoilt as every era and every civilisation has left its mark on Europe’s greatest towns and cities.

If you’re looking for ancient history, discover the hand-cut caves, temples and tombs carved from the pink sandstone of the Rose City of Petra, on our Jordan Discovery tour. Or take a trip through the cultural heart of Northern India and experience the famous three cities on The Golden Triangle tour.

For active types

If you’re a woman travelling alone who wants an active holiday then our walking, trekking or cycling tours are a great way to immerse yourself in your destination whilst travelling on your own speed. Explore Vietnam’s lush hilly countryside on two wheels and take an overnight cruise on the majestic Halong Bay on our Cycle Saigon to Hanoi tour.

Walk the trails of the spectacular Amalfi Coast from cliff-top hikes to woodland walks on our relaxed Amalfi Coast Walking holiday. Or challenge yourself on an iconic trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa on our Kilimanjaro – Lemosho Trek.

Solo female travellers will be in good company exploring the ancient ‘Rose City’ of Petra on our small group discovery tour to Jordan. Get lost with new friends in the narrow pink crevices of the Siq Valley and take photos of one another when you arrive at the handcarved 1st-century columns of the Treasury. Indulge in a sociable feast of delicious local food and enjoy the security of travelling with a group when camping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert. 

If Japan is on your travel bucket list but seems too far-flung or daunting for a solo female trip, our small group tours are a great way for single women to explore all of the cultural highlights of this fascinating country, as well as the lesser-known treasures. From staying in a Buddhist temple to riding a high-speed bullet train and spotting snow monkey bathing in hot springs, your local tour leader will take you on a journey of unforgettable and immersive cultural experiences. 

Navigating through different countries can be intimidating when travelling as a single woman, but our Baltic States small group tour rolls three countries into one trip without any of the stress and worry. Join other friendly adventurers to explore Estonia’s timeworn windmills and medieval churches, Latvia’s colourful Hanseatic buildings on the banks of the Daugava River, and Lithuania’s giant dunes in the Curonian Spit National Park.

Never feel alone as you follow ancient footpaths along mossy green levadas on the lush island of Madeira, and feel as though you’re on top of the world as you ascend into the mountains and trek clifftop passes. Join new friends for a feast of traditional Portuguese food in a local taverna and make a toast to great memories and unforgettable solo adventures.
