What people love about touring Eastern Europe solo
- Imperial Capitals
The taxi transfer went to the wrong train station despite my clear directions including address. After contacting Europamundo they said to go by ourselves to the hotel and they would only refund half. The whole episode was very stressful because ; We had traveled 9 and a half hours by train and were so tried and handling all our luggage. We arrived in a very busy confusing station unable to speak the language. Our phones were out of charge and we had to beg for help in a shop to get them charged to call. I had been very clear via email and phone messages to Europamundo and Tour Radar regarding the station we will be arriving at. I also phone to Europeamundo 2 hours before arrival all the while being reassured that there would be no issue. We got to the hotel 2 hours late and the places we wanted to visit were already closed. Also the transport from the airport would have cost them at least twice as much as what it costs them to transfer is from a local train station. It was an extremely well known station and the next day on a tour of the city ,ironically, the First icon they showed us was the station we arrived at! As soon as I was able I contacted Tour Radar in Europe, the response was good and they said they were investigating, however it's been 3 weeks since I heard from them. This is the first time I have tried a tour and I couldn't believe that it could be so stressful at the very start and what could have easily been rectified was made more stressful.:-(
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

What our customers ask about Eastern Europe Tours for Solo Travelers
How social are Eastern European group tours for solo travelers?
Group tours across Eastern Europe create natural social connections with solo travelers making up 69% of bookings on routes like the Budapest to Sofia Adventure. The daily schedule creates plenty of chances to get to know others through shared experiences such as tastings at Balla Géza Winery casual dinners at local restaurants and walking tours in historic places like Brasov and Veliko Tarnovo. A TourRadar traveler noted "It's an enjoyable and safe way to travel and can make unlikely but very fun friendships."
Do I need to pay a single supplement as a solo traveler?
While tours offer private room options with single supplements many provide room-sharing choices to keep costs down. The Budapest to Sofia Adventure charges around $579 USD for a private room but lets you share with another traveler of the same gender at no extra cost. Properties like the Hotel Yantra Grand in Veliko Tarnovo and Hotel Ramada in Sofia work well for both arrangements making it easy to choose what suits you best.
What type of accommodations can solo travelers expect?
Most stays are in 3-4 star hotels near city centers and key sights. In Sofia the Crystal Palace Hotel provides comfortable rooms while the Ramada in Bucharest offers modern amenities in a central spot. A TourRadar guest confirmed "Hotels were clean and adequate for the stays centrally located making it easy to explore independently."
How much free time is there on Eastern European tours for solo exploration?
The schedule mixes guided activities with plenty of independent time. In Budapest you'll start with morning tours to places like the Fisherman's Bastion then get afternoons free to check out local cafes thermal baths or museums. According to a TourRadar review "It had enough free and easy time to plan and do your own activities. Was not very restrictive."
What's included in evening meals and are they good for meeting other travelers?
Tours schedule several group dinners that naturally bring everyone together. You might share a traditional Bulgarian meal at a Sofia restaurant or enjoy dinner at Count Dracula's restaurant in Sighisoara Romania. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "Our guide was knowledgeable and organized meals that helped our group bond."
What's the best time of year for solo travel in Eastern Europe?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer the best mix of good weather and smaller crowds. Summer draws the most solo travelers at 67% of bookings while winter brings special attractions like Christmas markets. According to a TourRadar review "traveling solo in September was perfect - not too crowded but still lovely weather for walking tours in cities like Budapest."
