Travel groups for over 70 singles

Travel groups for over 70 singles

I’m interested in seeking a travel group that can accommodate over 70 singles for various travel trips. I’m based in Vancouver, Canada and usually like to travel abroad from October through March.

What exactly do you mean by accommodate singles? Most tour groups allow singles, I"m not familiar with ones that don't. but of course you pay more than one half of a couple because you have your own room.

However, here is a group that caters to seniors. It isn't for singles per se, but I bet there will be a many singles on it. https://www.roadscholar.org/find-an-adventure/

They do have single pricing though which isn't double what half a couple pays. For example, on the Galapagos Island tour (I know someone who took that and said it was excellent and they took care of everything with excellent guies), a single room is $13K but a couple would pay $16K.

Now there are some tour groups that will try to get you a roommate, but I don't know if that is your issue or not.

Here is a group tour exactly like you want, for solo seniors.

They don't seem to have any in Europe, curiously, though. Lots in Asia and a few other places

OAT is known for more adventure tours and is good for solos, they sometimes have free supplements

Have you looked into using one of your local high street, brick and mortar travel agencies.

This is a Duplicate Post that I reported when it was made. There are plenty of responses on the first post, plus the OP added a bit more context.

I'm 66 and have been doing Group tours several times a year since I retired 6 years ago.

oftentimes I am the youngest participant on the tour and there has never been less than 50% older than me.

Mix is usually about 50% single and 50% couples

So I would say that any of the companies offering small group tours that get recommended here can accommodate you - as long as you avoid the tours specifically marketed for 30 somethings, of course.

You will need to be more specific Vivien. Companies operating where ? In your own location? (Again - where). Travelling to where?

Vivien: Did you read the other post by the OP? There were some recommendations there. In addition, there is a Senior Travel forum that lists many more comments on group tours (even participating solo). Links below.
