Female Travellers - Frequently Asked Questions

To help you decide if one of our group tours is right for you, here are some questions that are frequently asked by female travellers.

Is it safe to travel solo as a woman?

This is often one of the first questions solo female travellers ask. And the simple answer is that travelling solo is no more risky than other everyday activities. Thousands of women travel alone each year, encountering no problems whatsoever. However, it’s always wise to keep your wits about you and follow some basic precautions such as avoiding walking around late at night, keeping your valuables out of sight and an eye on your drink at all times. It’s also best to always let someone know where you’re going.

What should I wear when travelling?

Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on where you’re travelling to. If it’s a liberal Western country, then you can pretty much wear what you like. However many countries, particularly where Islam is the main religion, have a more conservative outlook that should be respected. While you will certainly see other female travellers in skimpier dress, it’s best to choose clothing that shows your respect for other cultures. This can be achieved by covering your shoulders and wearing skirts or shorts that reach below your knees. Avoid tight fitting clothes or those that reveal your chest.

Will there be other solo female travellers on tour?

Our tours attract a mix of solos, couples and groups of friends travelling together. It's unlikely you'll be the only solo traveller as nearly 20% of all our travellers are solos. Some destinations attract more solo travellers than others, so feel free to ask our reservations team if you would like to know how many solos are booked on your tour.

What age are other female travellers on tour?

Our group tours cater for everyone from aged 18 to those over 70 years old, so you’ll be travelling with other female travellers across a range of ages. On average, 34% of our travellers are aged 21 to 40 and 34% aged 41 to 60. Whatever your age, you'll no doubt make some great friends on tour that share your love for travel.

Will I have much time to myself?

Our shorter tour itineraries are packed with sightseeing to really make the most of each destination. Evenings are generally free for you to do as you wish, with our tour groups often sticking together for the evening meal - although you are welcome to do your own thing. Depending on the day's schedule, we always try to allow for some free time at each of the sites we visit for you to take photos and further explore. Our longer tour itineraries often include a few free afternoons or a free day here and there. This gives you the flexibility to either relax in the hotel or take part in an optional activity.

Solo Female Travel - Single Supplements?

If you thought you’d have to pay more as a solo female traveller – it’s time to think again. On a selection of our most popular tours we offer ‘your own room – no supplement’ on certain departures. Just look out for the 'S' icon in the Prices & Dates section of the tour you are interested in. Many of our group tours also don’t have compulsory single supplements, meaning that if you’re travelling alone and happy to be paired with another solo female traveller, we’ll match you up. Alternatively, if you would rather guarantee your own room, this is also an option too.
