Join a solo tour and explore the world in the best way!

 Travelling alone can be daunting, but as we always say, when you travel solo, you’re never tru-ly alone. Strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet! This is why our trips are the perfect option for the solo traveller, we do everything from start to finish together. No need to stress about finding travel companions or sitting by yourself in the corner of an empty hostel and wondering what going island hopping alone would be like. From the minute we meet you at the airport, you aren’t just a friend. You’re family—part of the TruFamily.

SOLO TRAVEL FAQs

1. Do many TruTravellers travel alone?

Yes, the majority of our travellers are actually travelling on their own - roughly 65% of our TruTravellers! We designed our trips specifically with solo travelers in mind, so you can be assured you’ll meet many others traveling alone like yourself along the way. This of course doesn’t mean our trips are only for solo travellers, but it does mean that you don’t need to worry you’ll be surrounded by a group that already knows each other.

2. Will I be able to chat with the group before the trip starts?

Yes! A few weeks before departure you will be added into a whatsapp group where you’ll have the opportunity to meet others on your tour! We’ll get the conversation going so you’ll be familiar with your tour guide and group, and can ask any questions you have before you take off on your trip.

3. Is it safe to travel alone?

Anything you do in life (including any type of travel) has some element of risk, but the safest way to solo travel is to do it on a tour! You don’t have to worry about logistics, you’ll have a knowledgeable guide to help you navigate the country, answer any questions you have, and help you avoid any sketchy situations. We’ll even help you before the trip and after the tour with any onward travel.

4. Who will I share a room with?

If you are traveling on your own you will be paired up with another traveler of the same sex and similar age. In most cases they will also be a solo traveler and will likely become your new best friend. If you meet someone on your trip you hit it off particularly well and would like to room together, just speak to your Travel Ninja and they’ll make it happen!

5. Is it easy to make friends when travelling?

One of the best things about travelling solo is that it forces you out of your comfort zone and you meet countless people you wouldn’t have met if traveling with friends. Depending on where you are and how outgoing you are, it can be easier or difficult to meet other likeminded travellers. This is the beauty of group tours - you don’t have to stress about being in situations where you’ll meet people and you won’t have to say goodbye to the legendary people you met that night. Once you start the tour you have your new friends and they will be on the same schedule as you!
