The Best Trips for Solo Female Travellers

Try martial arts and wander through centuries-old bamboo forests on this 12-day Rail Trip in Japan. You’ll take in the Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum; explore sacred temples in Kyoto; and sample sake in a traditional ryokan in the Japanese Alps. Finish up in Tokyo, where you’ll see sumo wrestlers in training and try Taiko drumming, before rounding off the trip with a slightly more modern tradition: karaoke.

Marvel at art deco architecture, wander the winding backstreets of ancient medinas, and experience the awe-inspiring Sahara. This 11-day tour takes you from city to sea via the bustling streets of Casablanca, Tangier and Fez, and a spiritual awakening in the depths of the desert. Learn about the cosmos, ride camels through sand dunes and dine under the stars as you uncover the essence of Morocco.

Explore the highlights of Guatemala on our five-day trip. Wander the charming cobblestone streets of Antigua before trekking to the summit of Pacaya volcano – you’ll be treated to pizza and marshmallows, cooked over molten lava, at the top. After a traditional Mayan ceremony at the ancient ruins of Iximche, travel to Lake Atitlan. See the lake from a different perspective as you kayak around its picturesque shoreline in the morning.

Set sail for an incredible adventure island-hopping in Greece. On our eight-day trip you’ll see the best of Athens and the Cyclades, from the Acropolis to the charming fishing villages of Milos and the pristine beaches of Naxos. Swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters, relax on white sand beaches, visit historic ruins and learn about food culture as you hop from one island to the next, ending with stunning sunsets on Santorini.
