Solo Travellers Escorted Tours

At Great Rail Journeys, we believe that rail travel is for everyone, including those who choose to holiday as a solo traveller. We take great pride in helping each 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 solo 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 additional supplements, meaning that solo travellers aren't penalised for going it alone.

Please note, all our tours are available to solo travellers and on each tour, solo travellers can be sure to enjoy the exact same high quality as everyone else.

However, on tours which do not feature our No Solo Supplement offer, solo travellers will be required to pay a supplement for their chosen departure. These 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 solo 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.

Our no single supplement special offer terms and conditions can be found here.

Taking a holiday by train, is possibly the most stress free way of exploring the world and there are more advantages of joining an escorted tour. All Great Rail Journeys holidays are accompanied by a Tour Manager who is on hand to assist throughout the trip and to oversee the planned excursions.

Should you choose to eschew our pre-planned excursions then your Tour Manager will be able to offer advice on alternative sights in the region and any local traditions you can experience on your holiday.

“This was a lovely rail holiday, without a doubt. It was unfortunate that on the outbound leg there was a landslide in the Alps near Chambery, resulting in a coach trip from Lyon to Turin instead of a train trip direct from Paris. The landslide was obviously not the fault of Great Rail, however it seems that the coach driver made their own decision to drive across the Alps rather than through the Mont Blanc tunnel, as we had originally been advised. This resulted in a six hour journey, instead of four! On our very late arrival in Turin, the driver took a wrong turning, resulting in us all ending up a long way from the hotel, and the driver being totally unwilling to do anything about it. Our tour manager, Lynn, who was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole trip, organised taxis to get us to our hotel. Hopefully the landslide will be cleared soon so future travellers will not have to go through this experience. Our main criticism, however, is that although the Hotel Due Mari in Sestri Levante, where we were based for 7 nights was ok, the evening meals were very poor. This seems to be a problem mentioned in many other reviews, and Great Rail seems to have disregarded this so far. The excursions from Sestri Levante were well organised and excellent, and our tour manager always set our expectations. Our return trip went as planned and our overnight stay in Saint Raphäel instead of Nice (hotels fully booked due to the Rugby World Cup) was a bonus. The hotel, dinner and breakfast in Saint Raphäel were excellent. The train up to Paris was extremely comfortable, as were the outward and return Eurostar journeys.
