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.

A lovely relaxing week

A lovely relaxing week. Really nice hotel with great staff, especially Domenica's mojitos. Our tour guide, Gary, was fantastic arranging optional day trips and group evening meals and making sure everyone had a great time.

I just came back yesterday from a week…

I just came back yesterday from a week in Halkidiki and I had a great time. Gary Bailey was a really good tour host and we all felt relaxed and happy. He was very supportive of all of us individually and I found him to be very kind and helpful. I loved the holiday, the hotel, the area and the group! Thank you!

Zante walking holiday

I have been on many Solos Holidays and they have all been very good. Zante walking holiday was made even better having Fiona as our Tour leader. Always thinking of us and making sure we have a great time exploring. Nothing was too much trouble. Super organised,freindly and professional. Great local guides, beautiful walks and close to the beach. I would absolutely happily book and travel again with Fiona . Thank you 😊

Zakynthos walking holiday with Fiona

Went on the Zakynthos walking holiday with Tour Leader Fiona Quinn. A great experience, walks were wonderful with beautiful views and flowers. The local walking guide was great. Fiona was excellent, very knowledgable about the island and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fabulous holiday. Def recommend this holiday if Fiona is doing it next year!

Wellness Week in Thassos.

Just come home from my 9th holiday with Solos. As always, another wonderful experience. This time was the Wellness Week on Thassos - absolutely blissful ! Our 5* hotel was awesome, food and service exceptional, and our tour leader Michelle felt like a trusted friend within a day, her genuine warmth was felt by all of us, her experience and professionalism ensured that everyone had their perfect holiday. The yoga sessions (if you wanted them ) were a welcome start to the day, and the free hour long massage was enjoyed by all of us. The only downside was that the week passed much too quickly, but by then, fourteen people who had started the week as strangers ended it as friends.

This was my third holiday with Solos…

This was my third holiday with Solos and it couldn’t have been better. The group couldn’t have been nicer and our host Scott went above and beyond in his role. The hotel was lovely and I certainly will return in the future.

Solos Holiday to Lake Garda

Just back from a Solos Lake Garda walking holiday. What a fantastic time I have had, in a stunning beautiful location. I hadn't done anything like this for a long time, but wasn't disappointed.
What a lovely group of people I have enjoyed time with, the week went over so quickly.
Michelle our tour leader was such a warm, friendly, fun person and so professional with it. We were looked after from start to finish and kept up to date with all arrangements.
The walks led by the lovely, local guide Mariella were so much fun and interesting too.
There was so much choice of things to do and you were never alone, unless you wanted to just do your own thing.. and if you did, everyone caught up in the evening with interesting tales to tell.
If you are thinking of booking a Solos holiday then go for it! You will not regret it!
I am already looking to see where I can go next with Solos.

I’ve had a wonderful walking week in Lake Garda. Our fearless leader, Michelle, was absolutely fantastic. She took care of us every step of the way and made sure to check in with everyone and make sure we had everything we needed. The group was simpatico and I believe we all had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again.

A wonderful resort

A wonderful resort, first class & the staff are exceptionally nice & helpful.
Our rep Scott was kind, cheerful & very capable. We all felt very ‘cared for’ by him as nothing was too much trouble. A very good ambassador for Solos.

New Zealand - April 2026. Just returned from a fantastic three…

Just returned from a fantastic three week New Zealand tour covering both the North and South Islands. This was an extremely well planned holiday ensuring we visited the key areas and attractions the Islands had to offer. The whole experience was led by our super Team Leader Gary Bailey. Gary ensured we maximised every opportunity to see an amazing country and experience a range of interesting activities. His energy, warmth, super personality and great sense of humour made the holiday the best it could be for the Group. I hope I get to go on another Solos holiday with Gary

New Zealand 2026

When I decided to book a holiday to New Zealand I knew that I wanted to go with Solos, having previously had two excellent holidays with them. As ever, the process of booking my holiday was straightforward and seamless, and I like the app.
This was my first Discovery holiday and it far exceeded my expectations. It was well organised with a comprehensive and brilliant itinerary. The trips were fantastic - for me especially were the cruises, the Māori experiences, and the mountains.
A special thank you goes to our amazing tour guide, Gary, who always went above and beyond to ensure that we saw everything. His professionalism and first-hand knowledge of New Zealand proved invaluable in this respect. Gary also brought a genuine warmth and humour into the mix which ensured that we had an enjoyable and fun time. A truly awesome trip.

The holiday of a lifetime

I’ve arrived home after a wonderful time in New Zealand. I’ve always wanted to go there and this trip exceeded all my expectations. I thought the holiday was very well organised and all the trips exceptional especially the cruises and the Māori experiences.
A key aspect that raised this package to the “ holiday of a life time” was our tour guide, Gary. He worked so hard to ensure that we saw everything there was to see and that we enjoyed ourselves. He created a fun atmosphere and his insight to the history and geography of NZ added another dimension to our Discovery adventure.
