The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Tours
Find out more about our no single supplement tours and travelling with a group.
At Great Rail Journeys, we believe that rail travel is for everyone, including those who choose to tour as a solo traveller. We take great pride in helping each and every one of our passengers make the most of our tours and their destinations, whether they travel with a partner, friends or on their own.
Our single travellers enjoy the same benefits as everyone else, while at the same time getting the benefits of a flexible solo experience. All our tours give the option of whether to join the group on an excursion or venture off on their own, providing an option for those who prefer undisturbed exploration.
The following tours are some of our most comprehensive and best-loved European options, suitable for groups, couples and individuals alike! Not only that, all of them offer no single supplements, meaning that solo travellers aren't penalised for going it alone.
Here are just a few reasons why our solo customers choose to travel with us:
Please note, all of our tours are available to single travellers and on each tour, single travellers can be sure to enjoy the exact same high quality as everyone else.
However, on tours which do not feature our No Single Supplement offer, single travellers will be required to pay a single traveller supplement for their chosen departure. These single supplements are charged by the hotels we use; we do not charge supplements for our own services provided by Great Rail Journeys.
To only search for tours with no single supplement, please click More filters to the right of the Your search bar, and tick the I'm travelling solo, show single room pricing checkbox.
