Single holidays advice/websites?

I am a 29 year old female and interested in going on a solo holiday and wonder if any one can advise me of which companies to use. I should also tell you all i have a minor disability so any holidays which don't require me to walk for ages and ages which will tire me out would be most helpful. Otherwise just give me whatever holidays you know of. And i can do the research myself.

Good luck and remember anywhere you go make the most of it! Single holidays advice/websites?
I routinely travel by myself.





I don't actually use any companies that specialise in the single traveller niche of the market though.





For sunny beach holidays in Spain it is very easy to book an apartment and a flight yourself and avoid the ridiculous single supplements that defy rational explanation that the major tour operators punish single travellers with. I just book a flight on the airlines website and the are numerous sites for apartments like alpha rooms or the Thomson website.





Earlier this year I went to Iceland for the first time and found it to be a very interesting country. I went on a three day city break to Reykjavik booked through Discover the World

Iceland has just become a lot more affordable. Reykjavik has a compact city and the interesting tours you can go on all pick you up at the door of your hotel. I find you get chatting to other single travellers much easier on trips like this than on the sunny beach holidays. When you're on a coach trip somewhere just ask another solo traveller if they would take your photo and then you do the same for them.
Solo travel is a booming industry and growing year on year.


Its amazing how many people you meet when you travel on your own, Its the best thing you can do.


Try the following companies :





exodus.co.uk


explore.co.uk


intrepidtravel.com


adventurecompany.co.uk





(if you google adventure travel you will get many more but I think the above are the main players in the industry, I have used explore and I am using Exodus this January)





They all specialise in sight seeing adventure holidays for solo travellers. You don't pay a single supplement unless you want to because you get paired up with someone of the same sex. All holidays have excellent description of the proposed itinery, tour leader to tidy things up if something goes wrong, specialist insurance for the holiday (around 拢 30 per trip) and avoid the main touristy routes. Usually most of your food is included in the price and all companies clearly detail the number of meals included. Tours are graded for difficulty so its easy to see which trip is right for you (many don't involve more than say 10 minute walks). You are not committed to all the excursions and so can skip them if one or 2 look a bit demanding.





You meet up with a group of like minded travellers (approx 10 to 15 people) and your tour leader at the destination airport and then get dropped off at the departure airport at the end of the holiday.





Your fellow travellers become your best friends for the duration of the holiday and you will hear so many stories that once you have done it once you will be inspired to do so many other trips (either on your own or with a company). Having done the tour groups and proper individual travel I would recommend a company for your first trip.





The one down side is that nearly all flights for these holidays depart from Heathrow, you can arrange to get to Heathrow under your own steam or if its easier, pick your holiday from any company and book it through a traditional independant travel agent, they will be able to look at shuttle flights or trains to Heathrow and get you the best deal (you still pay the same price).





Your next question will be where to go as the number of holidays on offer must easy exceed 1000.





Happy travelling.
