Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 414 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently report excellent service, and the staff and tour leaders are frequently praised for being friendly, professional, and going above and beyond to ensure everyone has a wonderful time. Reviewers appreciate the quality of the experiences offered, whether it's fantastic group dynamics or the overall organization of trips across different destinations. However, a small portion of people felt certain instances involved rushed itineraries, and a few mentioned that the hotel dining quality wasn't ideal upon arrival. Some people also felt that in certain locations, crowds, such as at the Safari in Lake Nakuru, were quite close, which was a minimal concern for most travelers.

Brazil, Rio and the Carnival 2026

I paid over £6,000 for this holiday, with the main attraction of course being the Carnival. It was the sole reason for me booking it, and paying an enormous premium to attend. Unfortunately, we arrived late to the carnival, and our seats had been taken by another group. We were therefore herded into another area which it turned out had been booked by another group. What ensued was terrifying. The other group became very angry and started to push us away. I was pushed down to the row in front, jostled from both sides, and verbally abused by a number of members of the other group. Our guides were nowhere to be seen. Even worse, when they did turn up, we found out that exactly the same thing had happened last year. I have never been so frightened in my life. Solos response? £200. In addition, I was downgraded at the departure gate, and I had to fight for weeks to get a refund from Solos who came up with excuse after excuse after excuse as to why they wouldn't refund me. I would think very carefully before using this company again.

Amsterdam holiday

I had a great trip to Amsterdam and the bulb fields at Keukenhof. The itinerary was just the right mix of included trips and free time to explore. We were expertly guided by our wonderful tour rep Debs, and it was great to have the WhatsApp group to post messages and photos.

Malta in April

My holiday to Malta was excellent. I was kept well informed throughout the whole process.
Our tour leader, Jo Pateman, took care of us so well. All the trips ran smoothly, she went out of her way to make sure we all had a good holiday.
The staff at the Preluna hotel were great. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them
The hotel is very good. The food buffets were awesome.
Everyone in our group got on well with each other.
I would highly recommend travelling with Solos.

Solos trip to Amsterdam and Keukenhof

This was my third trip with Solos to Amsterdam and the Keukenhof Gardens. The Gardens were amazing and we had a super guide round Amsterdam. As always the holiday was enhanced greatly by our friendly and resourceful tour leader Debs. Lovely hotel, although situated quite far out of the centre.

A great week

A great week, very well organised by leader. Despite poor weather, in accordance with which, the itinerary was altered, but still covered all the expected highlights. The guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. The hotel was excellent. The fellow travellers were very friendly. My 3rd Solo's trip, the best yet. Have booked another on immediate return

Solo Holidays Bowling Holiday

Solo Holidays first bowling holiday in Phafos Cyprus. Our tour leader went above & beyond ensuring it was inclusive & enjoyable for everyone, whilst encouraging those who wished to be more independent to 'do their own thing' outside of the scheduled 2 hr bowling sessions.

This was my fourth Solo holiday

This was my fourth Solo holiday - the second one with Mark as the leader. He looked after us and ensured that everyone was having a good time.
He also has a great sense of humour - he really made the holiday!

Excellent Tennis Holiday

Excellent social tennis holiday in the Western Algarve. Very good resort with a sociable group of players. Especially thanks to the host, Mark Atherton, who ensured that every member of the group had a fun, enjoyable holiday, both on the tennis courts and generally.
