Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

Many people highlight the well-organized holidays, appreciating the smooth arrangements, interesting itineraries, and the quality of the service provided. Reviewers frequently commend the excellent locations and the overall high quality of their travel experiences.

Brazil, Rio and the Carnival 2026

I paid over £6,000 for this holiday, with the main attraction of course being the Carnival. It was the sole reason for me booking it, and paying an enormous premium to attend. Unfortunately, we arrived late to the carnival, and our seats had been taken by another group. We were therefore herded into another area which it turned out had been booked by another group. What ensued was terrifying. The other group became very angry and started to push us away. I was pushed down to the row in front, jostled from both sides, and verbally abused by a number of members of the other group. Our guides were nowhere to be seen. Even worse, when they did turn up, we found out that exactly the same thing had happened last year. I have never been so frightened in my life. Solos response? £200. In addition, I was downgraded at the departure gate, and I had to fight for weeks to get a refund from Solos who came up with excuse after excuse after excuse as to why they wouldn't refund me. I would think very carefully before using this company again.

New York- New York experience!

The New York experience was 100% made even better with the benefit of an amazing experienced tour leader with a depth of local knowledge of New York. I absolutely loved every minute of the holiday. Fiona showed us so much more of the real New York! All the iconic landmarks, plus the local places to visit, hidden places to eat and stops for coffee while soaking up the atmosphere of this wonderful city. Brilliant holiday and a brilliant tour leader. I booked this because of Fiona being the TL. Absolutely fantastic time loved every minute!! Thank you 😊

Amsterdam holiday

I had a great trip to Amsterdam and the bulb fields at Keukenhof. The itinerary was just the right mix of included trips and free time to explore. We were expertly guided by our wonderful tour rep Debs, and it was great to have the WhatsApp group to post messages and photos.

Malta in April

My holiday to Malta was excellent. I was kept well informed throughout the whole process.
Our tour leader, Jo Pateman, took care of us so well. All the trips ran smoothly, she went out of her way to make sure we all had a good holiday.
The staff at the Preluna hotel were great. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them
The hotel is very good. The food buffets were awesome.
Everyone in our group got on well with each other.
I would highly recommend travelling with Solos.

Solos trip to Amsterdam and Keukenhof

This was my third trip with Solos to Amsterdam and the Keukenhof Gardens. The Gardens were amazing and we had a super guide round Amsterdam. As always the holiday was enhanced greatly by our friendly and resourceful tour leader Debs. Lovely hotel, although situated quite far out of the centre.

The guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. The hotel was excellent. The fellow travellers were very friendly. My 3rd Solo's trip, the best yet. Have booked another on immediate return

Solo Holidays Bowling Holiday

Solo Holidays first bowling holiday in Phafos Cyprus. Our tour leader went above & beyond ensuring it was inclusive & enjoyable for everyone, whilst encouraging those who wished to be more independent to 'do their own thing' outside of the scheduled 2 hr bowling sessions.
