So you’ve decided to go on holiday, leave work and your usual routine behind, and go somewhere different. Picking your destination is fun but if you have no one to go with, what do you do? As a single person, you are subject to single room supplements and it’s decidedly less fun to visit somewhere new with no one to share the experiences with. So, what are the options? One option, that ticks most of the right boxes, is to go on an organised singles walking holiday. An organised group holiday has many advantages for the single person.
Firstly, it gives the whole organizational stress to someone else. They find out the best ways to travel around, find the most suitable accommodation, determine what are the best activities and places to visit. They ensure you see and do the best activities in the area and stay at the places that best suit your needs. You get the fun of deciding where you want to go, how long you want to be away, look at the available itinerates and pick the one that best suits you. But, someone else gets the work of arranging all the practical logistics like transport and accommodation. We have all heard of travel nightmares, the “only if I had known” stories, choosing a reputable organised tour group can help you avoid these as your guide should know the ins and out of the culture of the country you are visiting and the best places to visit. A great guide should be like your own Lonely Planet Guide, except you can ask them questions along the way and they can learn more about you to help you find the experiences that will best suit you. If something goes wrong, say a family emergency back home, you have a supportive guide who knows the area and can help you find the easiest and least stressful way to get home if you need to.
One of the most positive features of walking and adventure holidays for single people is having others on the same trip to share your experiences with. With others in the same boat, you are quickly meeting new people who are also interested in similar activities to you. This often results in new friendships and we know of numerous groups who met on holiday and 15 years later are still travelling together.
Walking and Adventure holidays aimed at singles also allow you to share a room and avoid the dreaded single room supplement. Not only will you get better deals on your accommodation but you also usually have the advantage of getting special travel rates that an independent traveler would probably not be aware of. This may be special times, exclusive group tours or just that little something extra.
Singles Walking Tours can be only a few days long or several weeks long and you have the options of groups from around ten people or up to fifty, general sightseeing tours or special interest groups. Determine what you most enjoy and want to get out of your holiday, forget about the fact that you don't have someone to share it with and go and find a group holiday or tour that best suits your needs.
