Solo travellers – join a small group tour

Rosemary — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:29:38 +0000

Sometimes we want to travel but are intimidated by being by ourselves. We want company, but don’t want to be on a bus load of couples travelling around Europe. We want to explore out of the way places, but are nervous going on our own.

The good news is there are a lots of companies out there who are ready to meet your need. Many of them are offering tours especially focused on the needs of w0men travellers. Women Travel the World has a special Tour Calendar of these tours – you can explore the great cities of Europe, walk through Kenya, barge through the French countryside or travel the Silk Rd…

I just surfed into the site and there are currently these tours on offer:

Australasia/Pacific (38)
Europe (47)
Africa/Middle East (30)
Asia & Eastern Europe (70)
Central/South America (13)
North America + Hawaii (10)

All you have to do is name your dream destination and surf in to find what is on offer from a variety of travel companies. It could not be easier – and there are new tours being added all the time.
