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.

Hotel Nereides in Hanioti…

The best thing about my trip to Hanioti was that we had an amazing rep. Gary!
He made sure we were all looked after at all times and could not have done more to make sure that we all enjoyed ourselves. He was truly exceptional.

This was my best Solos trip to date

This was my best Solos trip to date. Mainly due to a great group and the most dedicated solos rep I’ve come across. Gary was knowledgeable, helpful and always with a smile or joke to tell. I look forward to my next trip hopefully with Gary at the helm.

Just back from my first solos holiday…

Just back from my first solos holiday at Iraklis hotel, in Crete.I had such a wonderful time. I was really nervous about a holiday on my own but it was one of the best things I have done for myself. I met a really great group of like minded people, and ended up feeling about 35 years old again - enjoying the evening events, dinners out, dancing, chatting until the early hours. I've already booked my holiday with Solo's again for next year!
The tour leader Michelle Jordan really made the holiday - everything was so well organised for us, and she went out of her way to make sure we were all happy and settled. If we didn't want to go on trips, or wanted to do our own thing, that was absolutely fine. There were plenty of trips to choose from. `I recommend the trip to Spinalonga Island, especially if you have read the book 'The Island' - but there was plenty to do if you wanted to stay local. Some lovely bars and restaurants in the area of Gouves, and only a short walk down to the beach.
The food at the Iraklis hotel, was absolutely amazing. - really couldn't fault anything. If you're nervous about booking your first holiday, just go for it - it opens up a whole new world.

Japan Explorer

I have just returned from a fabulous trip with Solos to Japan.
Everything was well organised and ran smoothly from the booking to the end of the holiday. The itinerary was full, with lots of interesting things to see and do. Our tour leader Scott Jadine did an exemplary job in taking care of everyone and seeing to their every need.
I highly recommend Solos and can’t wait to book again for my next adventure

My 1st solo holiday was a blast 😊

This was my 1st solo holiday and I was nervous and excited.. Our rep for the week was Russ Nottingham. He sent us a message via WhatsApp to tell us he was in Gatwick Airport and if we wanted to stop by, have a coffee and introduce ourselves. This helped me alot. On holiday, he was faced with some challenges, which he sorted out without any issues. We went on some excursions and he was always on hand to answer any questions or if we had any issues which needed dealing with. He always had a smile and conversation which put us at ease. I had some issues getting home in the UK but Russ messaged me to let him know I arrived home safely, and being a solo that meant everything to me

He included everyone in making sure they were included and if you wanted to be alone that was no problem Thank you Russ for and Solos enabling me to have a great holiday

Just returned from Lefkada

Just returned from Lefkada. 12th Solos trip and another good holiday. Lovely location, good accomodation in new block, helpful tour leader Debs always on hand. Good group of like minded people but biggest group I've travelled with (27). Will book elsewhere again with Solos.

Absolutely fantastic experience Solos

Absolutely fantastic experience with this company on my very First solo holiday. I chose Solos because of the good reputation and I will definitely be booking with them again. I went to Japan the tour leader Scott was fantastic and made sure that everybody was okay. He was friendly and put us all ease. The whole experience was brilliant and I highly recommend Solos holidays.

This is my third Solos trip and each…

This is my third Solos trip and each one has been a lovely week of like-minded people who are there for the same reason. I have been so impressed with the tour guides who are there 24/7 to help you, going on the trips with you and to the late night bars. They are amazing. You have to remember you have not paid for 5* accommodation. This is about meeting people. Debs Mitchell in Lefkada and Terry Lazenby in Santorini were outstanding.

Solos exclusive hotels are the perfect solution for single travellers

Just returned from a really lovely holiday to Halkadiki in Greece. If you are thinking about solo travel but feeling nervous just give it a go. Solos exclusive hotels are ideal - you can do exactly what you want but there's always great company if you want it. The hotel was lovely with a great pool and bar, the hotel staff were fab - so friendly and attentive and Gary our tour host was lovely - he goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a great time. Wish I was still there!

Relaxing and Enjoyable

I have returned recently from a week at the Hotel Nereides in Chaniotis, Halkidiki. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable, the breakfast has something for everyone and the pool is large and well kept.
Probably the best feature of the holiday though was our Rep, Gary, who went out of his way to ensure that everyone had the best time possible on the holiday. He knew when to be funny and when to be serious and the few minor problems which may have arisen were promptly and efficiently dealt with. All in all he is a credit to Solos and I look forward to bumping into him on some future Solos Holidays.

I thought Solo Holidays was a great…experience

I thought Solo Holidays was a great idea meetig and enjoying the company of other solos 1st timers or seasoned travellers. Myself as a rather late 1st timer it was a great way to go to places that I hadn't seen before. Everything was arranged and I didnt have to worry about language barriers or something else. The host Gary was great always on hand to offer advice or deal with emergencies and in my case phone for emergency doctor. The setting in Halkidiki was great and the hotel lovely with friendly staff etc. I will always have happy memories of this holiday and fellow travellers and although a group there was always time to be alone if hat was your choice.. Thanks Solos and especially Gary a very amiable host.
