Top Small-Group Tours for Solo Travellers

Few people have spent the night in a hillside Buddhist temple, but you’ll be one of them by the end of this 10-day delve into South Korea. You and your trip mates will also get a true taste of the country with a traditional cooking class in Busan and rice-based dishes such as bibimbap and makgeolli in Jeonju. In addition, you’ll see the scenery change as you whizz through the countryside by train, hike to Ulsanbawi Rock in Seoraksan National Park and cycle through the temples, rock carvings and pagodas in Gyeongju.

Who wouldn’t want five days in a volcanic archipelago that’s one of the foremost destinations for wildlife viewing in the world? Get up close and personal with the amazing marine life in the Galápagos as your small group kayaks in the clear blue waters of the Itabaca Channel and snorkels around the well-photographed formation of Kicker Rock. Also, get your selfie with the loveable giant tortoises at El Chato nature reserve, swim with sea lions and hike through cactus forests home to hybrid iguanas.
