Which group travel companies have the best reviews from solo travellers?

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 11 November 2026

51 group tour companies have at least 25 Google reviews under their own name, read 11 November 2026. They are ordered by Google rating, then by review count; each card adds the Trustpilot figure where the company has a current profile, what it sells and the limits it publishes. Google and Trustpilot do not say which reviewers travelled alone, so these figures are from every reviewer, not only solo travellers. A rating from a few dozen reviews moves more with each new one than a rating from hundreds, so read the count beside it.

Which group travel companies have the best reviews from solo travellers?

Of the 110 solo and small-group tour companies in the Uncompromised Travel table, 51 run group departures and have at least 25 Google reviews under their own name; 13 of them share the highest rating, 5.0 out of 5.

Each line on a card gives what the company's own website says, with a link to the page it came from; a second reader checked 666 of the table's rows against the pages.

Who to contact first

Start with the 29 companies on this page that publish their prices and cancellation charges, then add any other card that fits your dates and budget.

What to ask each one to set out in writing:

  • The total price per person in writing and what it includes: hotels, meals, transport, activities, entrance fees and any internal flights.
  • The single supplement on your departure, or whether the company will pair you with a roommate and what happens if no roommate is found.
  • The largest group on your departure, how many are booked so far and whether the departure is guaranteed to run.
  • The deposit, when the balance is due, the cancellation charges by date and how your payment is protected (ATOL, ABTA, USTOA or a trust account).

Group travel reviews: the questions people ask

How is this page ordered?

By Google rating under the company's own name, highest first, then by review count; only companies that run group departures and have at least 25 Google reviews are on it, read 11 November 2026. The order says how reviewers rated each company, not whether it fits your trip.

Are these reviews only from solo travellers?

No. Google and Trustpilot do not say which reviewers travelled alone, so each figure is from every reviewer. Read the reviews themselves for what solo travellers say. Ask the company what share of its travellers come alone.

What should I ask a tour company before booking?

The total price per person and what it includes; the single supplement or whether it will pair you with a roommate; the largest group on your departure and whether it is guaranteed to run; the deposit, the cancellation charges and how your payment is protected.

Can I book with these companies directly?

Yes. Each card links the company's own website or enquiry page; ask for a written quote for your departure that lists what the price includes and the cancellation charges.

Do these companies all sell the same kind of trip?

No. Some run small-group departures open to everyone; some run trips only for solo travellers, women or an age band; others run surf, yoga or sailing weeks. Each card says what the company sells, so compare the cards before you ask for quotes.

What is a single supplement?

The extra a solo traveller pays for a room alone. Some companies charge none on some departures; others pair solo travellers with a roommate instead; ask each company for its figure on your departure.

Which of these publish their single supplement?

25 of the 51 publish their single supplement terms on their own websites. Ask each for the figure on your departure.

Which of these publish their cancellation charges?

41 of the 51 publish their cancellation charges on their own websites. Ask each for the full terms in writing before you pay a deposit.

Which of these say how your payment is protected?

13 of the 51 say on their own websites how traveller payments are protected (ATOL, ABTA, USTOA, a trust account or a bond). Check each with its issuer before you book.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is in the Uncompromised Travel solo and small-group tour operators table, built from the companies ChatGPT names most often when asked about solo and small-group travel. On its own website it runs group departures and has a Google listing under its own name with at least 25 reviews. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be on it.

Built to answer the question in the main heading. What is shown: what each company published on its own website, read on 11 November 2026, with links to the pages read, with its Google and Trustpilot figures where the listing carries the company's own name, from the Uncompromised Travel solo and small-group tour operators table. Companies are ordered by Google rating, then review count. Photos show the places named in their captions, not any company's trips. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel.
