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 trip to Amsterdam and Keukenhof

This was my third trip with Solos to Amsterdam and the Keukenhof Gardens. The Gardens were amazing and we had a super guide round Amsterdam. As always the holiday was enhanced greatly by our friendly and resourceful tour leader Debs. Lovely hotel, although situated quite far out of the centre.

A great week, very well organised by leader. Despite poor weather, in accordance with which, the itinerary was altered, but still covered all the expected highlights. The guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. The hotel was excellent. The fellow travellers were very friendly. My 3rd Solo's trip, the best yet. Have booked another on immediate return

Solo Holidays Bowling Holiday

Solo Holidays first bowling holiday in Phafos Cyprus. Our tour leader went above & beyond ensuring it was inclusive & enjoyable for everyone, whilst encouraging those who wished to be more independent to 'do their own thing' outside of the scheduled 2 hr bowling sessions.

This was my fourth Solo holiday - the second one with Mark as the leader. He looked after us and ensured that everyone was having a good time.
He also has a great sense of humour - he really made the holiday!

Excellent Tennis Holiday

Excellent social tennis holiday in the Western Algarve. Very good resort with a sociable group of players. Especially thanks to the host, Mark Atherton, who ensured that every member of the group had a fun, enjoyable holiday, both on the tennis courts and generally.

Revisiting Solos

Came back to Solos for a tennis holiday after a few years doing more coaching based holidays because I now want social play more than drills and coaching and it delivered the best experience. The hotel in Algarve was really good, great choice of food, but the standout thing was how well the tennis was organised. Our host Mark Atherton was excellent, arranging games and mixing people round and running the show with great humour and a laid back style but always professional in how he looked after us. Already booked in for my next one!

This was the first time that Solos had a bowls holiday

This was the first time that Solos had done a bowls trip. The location was the Athena Beach Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus, which is located about a mile from the harbour. There is a seaside promenade, or a short taxi/bus ride into town. The rooms and food (half board) were excellent, and the trip included a half-day tour of Paphos. Scott, our tour leader was excellent, and the group gelled together very well. The weather was generally good (maximum temperature about 22C), with one torrential downpour only. The trip is scheduled for March again in 2027.
