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.

Puglia Hidden Gems - April 2026

A fabulous full-on week exploring this wonderful part of Italy. Great hikes. Great sights. The local tour guides - particularly Sasha - were fantastic. Making the days out fun and very informative.
Also a great group of fellow travellers. Big shout out to Scott the Solos tour leader who kept us all organised and really helped the group to gel. Would jump at the chance to do another holiday with him at the helm.
Overall a fantastic week - holiday expectations exceeded!

Our leader Scott brought such a positive vibe to the group. Everyone felt like family so quickly. Of course, the group happened to be a great bunch, but Scott fostered these relationships and made sure everyone was doing well at all times. He went above and beyond his role, solving the smallest problems that arose to handling extra travel plans for free days and even extended vacations. As a first time Solos traveler, he certainly influenced my decision to book again. On a side note, he’s a pretty good photographer too😉😊

Our Solos guide, Sue, was fantastic and the hiking guides were excellent too. Great hotel with plentiful food. Hikes were challenging at times, needing poles, but all the more rewarding for that. Good variety of activities with a lovely group to enhance the walking

Mandy was an exceptional tour guide to Tuscany. The group were lovely and all fitted in well together. The hotel was good and centrally located for all our visits.

Wonderful trip

Wonderful trip! Mandy, our tour guide, did a marvelous job of managing any travel issues and said helping us find wonderful excursions. It was nice having rooms alone to debrief. I would do it again!

Treasures of Tuscany

Treasures of Tuscany was my first Solo holiday and the whole experience was excellent. Montecatini Terme is a superb base for sightseeing (Siena, Lucca, Pisa and Florence) and Mandy, our tour host made the programme seamless and effortless.

Mandy speaks Italian with flair, her organisational skills are finely tuned and she pays attention to detail. Unflappable, practical and great fun to be with, she offered a good balance of whole group activities and the freedom to do your own thing should you wish.

If you’re hesitating to book, just do it! You won’t regret it.

Treasures of Tuscany - a wonderful week!

I had an incredible holiday in Tuscany with Solos. Mandy, our tour leader was always resourceful, unruffled, and went above and beyond to give our group a really wonderful holiday. In particular her enthusiasm, knowledge, care, sense of humour, and excellent restaurant suggestions greatly elevated the experience. From the boarding passes on the phone, to the packed breakfast on our airport day, I felt very taken care of. I also really appreciated the balance between free days and sightseeing days.

The last time I went on a solos holiday was 25 years ago! I absolutely loved my trip to Tuscany . Lovely group and so many excursions led by a capable calm and knowledgeable Mandy who handily spoke wonderful Italian! We had 2 free days which was perfect as the trip days are busy. It was great to be able to eat in different restaurants for dinner. You never felt on your own.

Wonderful two days walking Hadrians Wall

The host, Russ, ensured the whole trip was well organised and ran smoothly. The two guides, Kath and Sue were very knowledgeable and made the walks informative and fun. The hotel was smart and clean and staff welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend.

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.
