Holiday companies for single travellers

Hi,

Does anyone know of any good companies for single travellers that are reasonably priced?

I've tried Just You from Travelsphere, Solos Holidays and Travelscope, which seems to win, even though I'd have to pay a single supplement.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Cheers.

Michael.

    You mean just booking a flight and hotel either otgether or separately?

    Well, yes, but I'd like to go with a company that has everything organised etc.

    https://www.vjv.co.uk have some good tours and they are not too expensive on some tours and they often have no single supps either on specials or booked way in front

  • Im travelling with VJV in May and they look pretty good so far, fingers crossed!!

    I travelled to prague a few years ago with Travelsphere just before i hit 30 and was the youngest on the trip by over 20 years. I had a fantastic time and have made some friendships that are still going strong. Cant fault them.

    Depending on budget and the type of holiday you want, have you considered
    https://www.adventurecompany.co.uk or https://www.explore.co.uk ? Not used them myself but they arnt that different in price to VJV and i know plenty of solo travellers that have had brilliant times and rebook year after year. Hope this helps. :rotfl:

    Have you thought of joining Spice UK. It does activities all through the week for single people, but also has holidays ranging from Adventure - Grand Canyon canoe or just chilling in Turkey. It's not a dating thing, couples can join too but it does give single people the chance to do things which they might not want to do on their own. HTH.
    There are three ways to get something done; do it yourself, hire someone or forbid your kids to do it.
