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.

Solos Holiday to Lake Garda

Just back from a Solos Lake Garda walking holiday. What a fantastic time I have had, in a stunning beautiful location. I hadn't done anything like this for a long time, but wasn't disappointed.
What a lovely group of people I have enjoyed time with, the week went over so quickly.
Michelle our tour leader was such a warm, friendly, fun person and so professional with it. We were looked after from start to finish and kept up to date with all arrangements.
The walks led by the lovely, local guide Mariella were so much fun and interesting too.
There was so much choice of things to do and you were never alone, unless you wanted to just do your own thing.. and if you did, everyone caught up in the evening with interesting tales to tell.
If you are thinking of booking a Solos holiday then go for it! You will not regret it!
I am already looking to see where I can go next with Solos.

I’ve had a wonderful walking week in Lake Garda. Our fearless leader, Michelle, was absolutely fantastic. She took care of us every step of the way and made sure to check in with everyone and make sure we had everything we needed. The group was simpatico and I believe we all had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again.

A wonderful resort

A wonderful resort, first class & the staff are exceptionally nice & helpful.
Our rep Scott was kind, cheerful & very capable. We all felt very ‘cared for’ by him as nothing was too much trouble. A very good ambassador for Solos.

Trip to New Zealand…

I have just returned from an incredible trip to New Zealand. The tour was non-stop sightseeing. We started off in Auckland then travelled up to the Bay of Islands, our coach driver/ guide on the North Island was Alex she was brilliant and gave us a real insight into the way of life and customs of the country. She answered any questions that we had and it felt like she was part of the group. We covered all the main tourist attractions staying at fantastic hotels along the way. We arrived on South Island and travelled through the most amazing scenery. Each day just got better and better. Our tour leader Gary was excellent, so friendly and cheerful. He even arranged a detour for me to see the grave of my Great grandfather. This was most unexpected as I just happened to mention casually that he was buried near to where we were.
This demonstrates what a great tour leader he is, he certainly goes above and beyond to make the holiday a wonderful experience for everyone. He is a real asset to the company.
The tour was well organised I saw so much and learnt so much about the country, A holiday of a lifetime .

New Zealand - April 2026. Just returned from a fantastic three…

Just returned from a fantastic three week New Zealand tour covering both the North and South Islands. This was an extremely well planned holiday ensuring we visited the key areas and attractions the Islands had to offer. The whole experience was led by our super Team Leader Gary Bailey. Gary ensured we maximised every opportunity to see an amazing country and experience a range of interesting activities. His energy, warmth, super personality and great sense of humour made the holiday the best it could be for the Group. I hope I get to go on another Solos holiday with Gary

New Zealand 2026

When I decided to book a holiday to New Zealand I knew that I wanted to go with Solos, having previously had two excellent holidays with them. As ever, the process of booking my holiday was straightforward and seamless, and I like the app.
This was my first Discovery holiday and it far exceeded my expectations. It was well organised with a comprehensive and brilliant itinerary. The trips were fantastic - for me especially were the cruises, the Māori experiences, and the mountains.
A special thank you goes to our amazing tour guide, Gary, who always went above and beyond to ensure that we saw everything. His professionalism and first-hand knowledge of New Zealand proved invaluable in this respect. Gary also brought a genuine warmth and humour into the mix which ensured that we had an enjoyable and fun time. A truly awesome trip.

The holiday of a lifetime

I’ve arrived home after a wonderful time in New Zealand. I’ve always wanted to go there and this trip exceeded all my expectations. I thought the holiday was very well organised and all the trips exceptional especially the cruises and the Māori experiences.
A key aspect that raised this package to the “ holiday of a life time” was our tour guide, Gary. He worked so hard to ensure that we saw everything there was to see and that we enjoyed ourselves. He created a fun atmosphere and his insight to the history and geography of NZ added another dimension to our Discovery adventure.

Puglia's Hidden Gems

Wonderful week in Puglia, Italy, led by our great tour leader, Scott.
Never too much trouble to sort out a problem or lend a helping hand.
Always 'bringing up the rear' (so to speak), ensuring no one was left behind.
He really listened to his guests and was a pleasure to be around.

Puglia was an area I really wanted to…

Puglia was an area I really wanted to visit and our leader, Scott along with guide Sasha, they made it memorable. Scott, as our group leader helped me due to a knee injury just before our tour started, accommodating my ability to do all the walks. Beautiful area and really loved the Farmhouse luncheon! Great group of people and great experience!

Fantastic tour leader

Have been travelling with Solo’s for many years and enjoyed every holiday. Just back from Puglia. Very well organised. The excursions were great and ran exactly to plan. We had a fantastic tour leader, Scott, who was always very helpful if there were any issues, and who integrated so well with the group, ensuring everyone was ok and having a great time. I met so many nice people on this holiday, and looking forward to my next one.
