“ I’ve just returned from India’s Golden Triangle, Tigers & Amritsar’s Golden Temple – Exclusively Solos. What can I say apart from it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I was collected from the airport with no need to worry. There were great hotels and a great group of solo travellers who made the trip. The guide was incredible and had a wealth of information. Every day was crammed full of sights, sounds, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that I’ll never forget. ,, Karen, Customer, India’s Golden Triangle, Tigers & Amritsar’s Golden Temple – Exclusively Solos

For additional support, advice and recommendations, they’ll always be on standby to oversee the seamless operations of every travel arrangement.

Depending on the centrally located accommodation available, you’ll have a twin or double guestroom or in some cases, a designated single room. The included excursions will be experienced alongside fellow travellers, so you’ll always have like-minded guests around to share those wish-list moments with.

How much interaction you’d like to engage in is a personal preference, however, we’ve included a few opportunities to support getting to know the other travellers. A welcome drink and dinner on the first night of each tour provide a perfect chance to connect from the get-go, and a farewell dinner during the final evening means you can reflect, celebrate and share stories with your new-found friends. On most of the tours, the meal plans operate on a flexible board basis, which means you have the independence to dine where you want and at your leisure.

A group holiday exclusively for solo travellers, free of hassle and focused on two heavenly Mediterranean islands, Korčula and Hvar.
TOUR
This tour is made up exclusively of solo travellers.
Day One – Transfer from Split airport to Trogir
After arriving at Split airport, you’ll meet your driver and the other solo travellers joining you on this island-hopping getaway. You’ll then take a transfer to Trogir, where you’ll be welcomed with dinner and drinks at your sea-facing hotel to start your holiday right.
Day Two – Included visit to Trogir and afternoon at leisure Once you’ve had breakfast, your tour manager will escort you around the walled, island town of Trogir, the most preserved medieval town in central Europe, and a filming location for the popular Game of Thrones series. Despite its small size, Trogir packs a mighty punch when it comes to historical architecture. It’s very typical of other medieval towns in Croatia, with a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic elements, however, there are some notable highlights as well. One of these is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, a striking example of Renaissance architecture, with an unrivalled view of the Adriatic Sea from the top. The rest of the day is then free to amble around the cobbled streets at your own pace, perhaps strolling along the lively promenade and pausing at one of the many bars and cafés to sip on an iced refreshment.
Day Three – Transfer from Trogir to Korčula and wine tasting with a traditional snack
Following breakfast, check out of the hotel, and sit back as you set off on a scenic transfer to the olive-grove-laden island, Korčula, with its medieval town. While driving along the Dalmatian Coast, the group will drop in at a local vineyard by Peljesac Peninsula, where you’ll enjoy a wine tasting paired with a traditional snack.
Day Four – Included tour of Korčula, with a visit to the Marco Polo House Enjoy breakfast before embarking on a tour of Korčula’s town, observing its Roman influence evident in the archaeological remnants, squares, palaces and churches. Despite being the sixth largest island in Croatia, Korčula isn’t nearly as popular as other islands in the region (probably due to its distance from the major cities), which means you can expect fewer crowds as the group seeks out the major landmarks. The town is enclosed by Venetian fortifications and is known as ‘Little Dubrovnik’ because of its fortress-like appearance. According to legend, the island was founded by the Trojan hero Antenor, a member of the Trojan royal family, in the 12th century BC. Many people, however, know it as the birthplace

Whether you’re exploring the old town’s Gothic-Renaissance and red-roofed buildings or walking along the ancient city walls to take in the surrounding vista, the history and culture ensure a wish-list experience. On the guided tour, you’ll get to see the pedestrianised central street, Stradun, running from the Pile Gate to busy Luza Square and overlooked by the carved stone façade of the impressive Sponza Palace, as well as the baroque St Blaise’s Church. Other highlights will include the Franciscan Monastery and the Rector’s Palace, the seat of the government in the former Dubrovnik Republic. The energetic can walk the entirety of the city walls, while others can take a seat in one of the city’s many pavement cafés returning to the hotel.
