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.

Nidri with Solos

My 5th Solos holiday and my 2nd with TL Debs. Quiet location in Nidri, run by the lovely, helpful and friendly Natalie. Minutes walk from the main street of shops, bars, ice cream shops etc. Walk the side streets to the harbour sea front to find an array of tavernas to enjoy delicious Greek cuisine while looking out onto the marina. The TL Debs was outstanding in her delivery of care to the whole group. She was always available, approachable and worked tirelessly to ensure everyone felt included and had a great time. Debs was very knowledgeable of the area, trips to do and places to eat. In my opinion she is one of the best TLs that Sos has. I would recommend the laid back atmosphere of Nidri.

Brilliant Rep

The holiday was brilliant, which had a lot to do with the Rep Gary, who was absolutely exceptional. Nothing was too big or small, he sorted things out immediately. He attended all the tours, organised all the bookings for the restaurants and didn’t sit down until everyone was seated. Went beyond the call of duty.

Excellent Solos Holiday Lead by Gary Bailey

Recently returned from a 2 week Solos Exclusive holiday at the Hotel Nereides
Hotel was in a great location within easy walking distance of bars, restaurants and beach. The cleanliness in the hotel was excellent, service great from friendly & welcoming staff and pool area and facilities were of a high standard. Tour Leader Gary Bailey was an excellent host. His outgoing and friendly personality made everyone feel welcome in a professional and supportive way. Gary was also prompt to rectify any problems as and when they occurred . I would highly recommend Gary Bailey as a Tour Leader and Solos Holidays for making it a safe and friendly environment for Solo travellers.

This is my fourth Solos holiday and…

This is my fourth Solos holiday and they are all different. I do like the concept of the Solos only hotels and they are a good idea for first time solo travellers. But all the hotels so far have been excellent.
The tour leaders I have had have all been exceptional. They make the holiday and really do their upmost to keep everyone happy and to keep everything running smoothly.
There are also many different types of holidays from sporting, like tennis or golf or walking holidays to tours and then also relaxing resort breaks. You are sure to find something you like and may be tempted to try other types of holiday.
Thanks for another lovely two week break!!

Hanioti happinesd

This was my second Solos trip (first was a week in Sharm el Sheikh in February 2026. Pursuant to the success of that trip I booked for two weeks at Hanioti. Both weeks had great bunch of people. Hotel staff were very friendly . The whole Two weeks was bound together by our excellent Tour Leader, Gary who developed a great rapport with us all Nothing was too much trouble for him and inevitable little hiccups sorted quickly and efficiently.

It was my first Solos holiday to…Halkidiki

It was my first Solos holiday to Halkidiki and I was a little nervous but I soon realised there was no reason to be.
I arrived late on the 28 th May after a slight delay at the airport and was welcomed at the hotel by Gary our tour guide who made you feel at ease straight away.
I meet everyone at the welcome meeting and Gary was very informative and friendly, there was 24 in our group and it was great getting to know everyone.
The hotel is very well run and clean if there is anything you need you just need to ask they cannot do enough for you and there is lots of room around the pool.
We had three meals included and the food was good, Gary never sat down until everyone had their meal and where happy, he always worked his way down the table to talk to everyone to see how everyone’s day had gone . I went on some great trips, the Caves and the local boat trip which I recommend doing.
With the combination of a great tour guide Gary, 24 guests and amazing staff I can just say go for it I’ve met amazing friends and had the best time ever.

My first Solos experience exceeded all…

My first Solos experience exceeded all my expectations. I booked the trip then didn't have to worry about a single thing. Everything was taken care of. At the resort our Rep Gary was friendly and professional, he organised the excursions and evenings out for the whole group and made sure everyone was happy. It wouldn't have been as successful without a good Rep like Gary, thanks again.

Halkidiki

The resort, company, weather and Tour Leader were great.
From booking the holiday to arriving at the resort, Solos keep you informed throughout, even creating a What’s App group before you go so you can meet up at the airport beforehand. This is really good especially if it’s your first holiday as a Solo traveller.
The accommodation was very good, the staff extremely helpful and the pool side bar is a great place to have a nightcap or two.
Gary the Tour Leader was absolutely brilliant, very helpful and great fun.
I would definitely recommend this holiday to anyone.
I would like to add that l have been on various Solo Holidays and l find them all extremely enjoyable. I know from booking to the actual holiday that all resorts have been researched fully which makes the whole experience easygoing especially for first time solos.

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

You make so many new friends and sometimes able to retain long term friendships after your trip Our leader Russ ensured all had a lovely time and looked after us he kept always a friendly professional attitude . 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
