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 😊
