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.

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 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.

Very good guide

Very good guide, Gary, on this Solos holidays in Halkidiki. Hotel fine but a bit dated. Breakfast food acceptable. Good swimming pool and adequate sunbeds. Didn't like the featureless beach and sea bed. Food tended to be tourist food rather than traditional Greek food. Tzadziki every evening not the best starter. I will go to the islands if I go to Greece again. Put off going abroad again however by awful Gatwick. What a disgusting money grabbing hell hole.
Overall, Solos is a good company if you want to be in a large group looked after by a capable guide. But, check out the destinations and hotels first.

Solos holiday in Halkidiki

I have just come back from a Solos holiday in Halkidiki for 1 week. The family run hotel was excellent and the staff were very helpful and provided a good choice for breakfast. The pool area was clean and tidy and there were plenty of sunbeds. My room had a balcony and pool view and was kept clean. The location was ideal for the beach, bars and restaurants.
Gary Bailey was our tour leader and did an exceptional job. He showed us round the area, booked restaurants for the group, recommended bars, provided information for the trips and prices and generally made sure that everyone in the group had a good time. I would thoroughly recommend him for other Solos holidays

Relaxing, fun and well-organised

I enjoyed a great week in Halkidiki with Solos and tour leader Gary. The family run hotel was ideally located and in a lovely setting around a pool with sunbeds. It was reassuring to have such a positive tour leader with us. Gary arranged all our evening meals without fuss and confusion and ensured our excursions ran smoothly. The mid-week quiz was fun and added that extra bit of fun to a super holiday.

Peru following the Inca trail

Just came back from 2 weeks in Peru and what an amazing experience. Sue our tour leader was excellent. Good communicator, professional and friendly. We visited many locations and although we had many early starts and late arrivals it was all worth it. We saw sooo many things it’s hard to single out one. This was my second Solos holiday and I will definitely book another one. I tend to go for active/adventure holidays and having everything planned out for you is fantastic. Good hotels and fantastic food. The local guides were very knowledgable, friendly and professional. I will recommend this company. Thank you Solos

could not fault anything about this holiday really, great value for money, superb group leader in Gary Bailey and well organised by Solos.
Resort was quiet given mid may time slot and hotel needed some updating but these things did not detract from overall experience. Amongst 24 like minded travel companions all together exclusively in one hotel was brilliant.

This was my first Solos holiday

This was my first Solos holiday so I was unsure of what to expect, but from the minute I arrived at the hotel I felt very comfortable. Gary our tour leader explained everything verbally and through the Whatsapp. The Hotel was very nice and my room was very spacious. Every step of the holiday was well co-ordinated and organised. Gary our tour guide was professional, friendly, funny and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for him and any problems were sorted out quickly. I would thoroughly recommend this holiday to any other first timers to Solos and hope to book another one in the future.

Exceeded my expectations!

My first Solo’s trip and it exceeded my expectations! As soon as we got together we were all chatting and hearing each other’s stories which I loved. Within a couple of days it felt like being in a private club with friends. Such a fantastic group of people! The Hotel Nereides location is very central with easy access to everything, it was just perfect for socialising, all the staff made us feel like family and contributed greatly to the wonderful experience. Gary Bailey our group host was amazing. Always on hand to help, answer questions and join in the fun..a really nice guy who looked out for everyone. This holiday was like therapy for me..I am missing this group enormously but came home with a heart full of happy ❤️

wonderful week in Halkidiki

I spent a wonderful week in Halkidiki, Greece at Nereides Hotel which was very good with lovely staff and a beautiful pool area. Solos tour leader, Gary Bailey, was very professional, helpful and great company. I can’t recommend him enough. Nice fellow travellers and we all got on very well.
