Award winning over 50 solo tour operator One Traveller has launched several new UK tours to add to their already extensive collection with availability throughout the year. With escorted tours on offer on every continent, the UK is often a popular starting point for guests embarking on their first solo tour and for repeat guests, a shorter-break to add on to holidays further afield.
Ian Darkin, founder and CEO of One Traveller, comments: “UK tours are incredibly popular with guests taking their first solo holiday, as they offer the reassurance of travelling closer to home while still enjoying a rich and rewarding experience. With no long flights and familiar surroundings, guests can relax into the rhythm of group travel, get to know their fellow travellers and build confidence. It’s often the perfect introduction to solo specialist holidays.”
