The accommodation on our escorted group tours range from Jungle lodges on tours such as our Inca Trail & Jungle tour in Peru where travellers will get the chance to sleep in lodges at the heart of the Amazon rainforest or on overnight trains and hotels such as on our Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand tour in Asia.

Solo Holidays for over 30s - Top tips for taking a trip alone

Going on a single vacation when you're over 30 may be a daunting prospect! Tucan Travel have been taking solo passengers on escorted tours since 1987 and have heaps of experience to ensure you have the best possible holiday. Below are some of our top tips if you are a solo traveller looking to travel the world.

1) Learn the local language!

Arriving in a foreign country on your own it is always handy to have a few words up your sleeve which many locals will appreciate. Bring a small phrasebook or download an app which can help with translation.

2) Bring cards or travel games

Packing cards or games is a great way to break the ice when you are taking trip alone. On those lengthy bus journeys meet fellow single travellers and bond over a competitve game of UNO!

3) Let people know where you are going

On our group tours we have a mixture of included excursions and free time to give you the flexibility to explore on your own. It is always a good idea to let the Tour Leader know if you are planning taking a solo adventure in an unfamiliar city. They will be able to advise on places to visit as well as ensuring you are staying safe. Over 60% of our passengers are solo travellers so there is likely to be someone to join you if there are optional excursions you would like to enjoy.

4) Be brave

Going on a single getaway is a great way to get out of your comfort zone. Whether it means trying a new cuisine or staying in an authentic homestay on the Mekong Delta, travelling on your own when you're over 30 is a truly rewarding travel experience.
