Although travelling alone may sound daunting, solo travel is continuing to rise in popularity. There could be numerous reasons why someone is travelling independently, and solo travellers come from all walks of life, but they all share the same passion - a desire to see the world.
So, travelling alone shouldn't stop you from seeing the world and discovering amazing destinations. Check out Travel Department’s reasons why you should consider a Solo Traveller Holiday.
If your friends and family are too busy to join you on that dream holiday, then why not join a solo traveller holiday to explore the world and meet new friends in the process? When you take a guided holiday with Travel Department, they take care of all the planning, including return flights, transfers, accommodation and excursions in the company of an expert local guide; so you can spend more time enjoying the destination.

Discover Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, has so much to offer.

You will be based in the very heart of Nice, where you can enjoy an excursion to Antibes and Cannes, plus there is an option to visit Monaco & Monte Carlo.
Time for yourself
You will have the comfort and convenience of staying in your very own hotel room during your holiday. For those looking for some ‘me-time,’ Travel Department’s solo tours typically offer plenty of free time to go it alone. During your time at leisure, you have the freedom to do your own exploration, see the sights you want to see or simply relax and take it easy.
Meet like-minded people
It’s often the people you meet on holiday that are the highlight of the entire trip and you’ll have amazing memories of the shared experiences you had together. The beauty of a solo holiday is that you will be travelling with a group of other independent travellers.
You’ll never be alone
Group travel is ideal for solo travellers as it offers the opportunity to meet a group of like-minded people, each interested in exploring their chosen destination. Being part of a group provides extra security, and for everyone there is the benefit of an expert local guide who is keen to share their knowledge. Their guide will accompany you on the tours and can offer suggestions for what to see and do in your leisure time, to ensure you have an authentic and enjoyable experience.
Solo travellers are always welcome
Remember, solo travellers can always join one of Travel Department’s regular holidays where they always have a limited number of single rooms available.
So, are you tired of waiting around for your friends to finally book that dream trip? Then why not experience a solo traveller holiday. Travelling alone shouldn't prevent you from visiting amazing destinations and exploring the world.
