Small group adventure vacations for singles

Step off the beaten path to truly experience local culture and history. Share meals, stay with local hosts and enjoy authentic moments that make your trip unforgettable.

Our discovery tours are designed for solo travelers. You’ll join around 12 fellow adventurers—about half of them traveling solo, the rest with friends or partners. It’s the perfect balance of social time and personal space, with the reassurance of traveling in a small group. Our expert leaders handle the details and make sure you see hidden gems as well as iconic highlights.

Every trip is graded by pace. Choose from Relaxed tours, with plenty of free time to explore or Full-On itineraries packed with activities. However you travel, your local leader will guide you to the best experiences at a pace that suits you.
