What people love about touring Mediterranean solo
- Semi-Private Tour of Mediterranean Marvels from Athens to Rome
This was our second tour booked with Choose Balkans, but this time to explore south of Albania. Challenging, breathtaking, a perfect vacation--just a few words to describe a trip that has so many unique moments. Our tour guide on this trip was outstanding.The trip was well planned, organized and executed.
- Dubrovnik to Athens
I enjoyed much of the tour but was disappointed at the pace and itinerary after leaving Albania. This is a very slow moving tour with lots of individual time. I am self reliant would have appreciated this if we were in places where there were cultural and/or social places to do. However, we spent several days in areas I would not rank as a top site. We spent two days traveling to Skopje and two days in Skopje. This may have been a good afternoon stop but it was not a 36 hour justification. It was depressing with poor accommodations, little to see and everything was closed on the days we were there. This was definitely the consensus of our group and I see that the same feedback has been given in earlier reviews for the trip. Our leader just said, 'Well, I can just show you the city, I can't make you like it.' It feels like feedback on the itinerary is not sought or appreciated. We also spent lots of time at a lake town in Northern Greece that had little to offer culturally and could not be used for swimming given all the downtime. This is a good tour for those who have already visited the more prominent sites in Greece and are seeking a relaxed time to read (my partner read three large books over the tour). If this is your 'one big trip' and you are seeking to see places such as Thessaloniki, have time in Athens, and see coastal areas, you might consider a different tour. A frustration on our tour seemed to be that the entire schedule was driven by when we would be sitting down at a restaurant (usually a place that our tour guide seemed to have deals with where he seemed to eat for free or get a deal). I did enjoy many of the accommodations, the home visit and having transportation arranged. I simply would shorten or cut out about four days of the itinerary and refocus it on Greece and/or other areas. The current Greece itinerary consisted of a day at the lake, two days at Mt. Olympus and then a long drive, ending in Athens with no activities or activities planned here. There is much that could be added (understanding that this would raise the price as it is more expensive in Greece than North Macedonia)
- Balkan Essentials in 12 days
Our tour guide (as well as the local guides in each city) was amazing- Slobodan did a fantastic job and was very helpful and friendly. Most of the hotels and included meals were excellent, there was really just one that was sort of a dud (Hotel Leotar). Most of the places we visited were beautiful and fascinating (we knew very little about the Balkans before this trip), with just a couple stops that were clearly only for sleeping or bathroom breaks. This seemed like a great value, too. We highly recommend it!
What our customers ask about Mediterranean Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other solo travelers on Mediterranean guided tours?
Meeting fellow travelers comes naturally on Mediterranean tours through shared experiences and daily group activities. The structured format includes communal meals like group dinners in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and hands-on activities such as cooking classes in Rome. Groups typically consist of 40-50% solo travelers creating a welcoming social environment. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The group bonded really quickly under our guide's leadership and we tended to stick together even on our free days." Common spaces at accommodations like Hotel AC Cuzco in Madrid and Hotel Lutecia in Lisbon provide natural gathering spots for casual socializing after daily excursions.
What is the typical cost of single supplements on Mediterranean tours?
Single supplements for Mediterranean tours cost between USD 1200-1800 for two-week trips depending on the season. Summer months (July-August) see higher rates around USD 4750 while shoulder season rates hover near USD 5150. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The single supplement was worth it for the privacy though I spent most of my time socializing with the group during meals and activities." Hotels such as the Palm Plaza in Marrakech and Ryad Ennakhil offer well-appointed single rooms with private bathrooms at these rates.
Which Mediterranean cities are most solo traveler-friendly?
Barcelona Nice and Rome stand out as particularly welcoming cities for solo travelers. These destinations combine easy-to-navigate public transport with safe walkable neighborhoods and plenty of group activities. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Nice felt very safe as a solo traveler - I loved exploring the old town and meeting other travelers at the local markets." Social spaces like Front Air Congress hostel in Barcelona give solo travelers natural meeting points while coastal areas around Nice and central Rome offer numerous cafes perfect for people watching and casual encounters.
How much free time do solo travelers get on Mediterranean tours?
Tours typically provide 2-3 hours of independent exploration daily alongside scheduled group activities. This allows time to visit personal must-see spots like Barcelona's Gothic Quarter or Rome's Trastevere neighborhood. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "I appreciated having free afternoons to explore Nice's beaches and Florence's museums at my own pace while still having the security of group activities." Most accommodations like Hotel Palm Plaza in Marrakech are centrally located making it easy to maximize free time.
What's the typical group size for Mediterranean tours?
Groups usually range from 12-24 travelers creating a balance between intimacy and social variety. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our small group of 20 became like family - perfect size for getting to know everyone while still being able to move efficiently between destinations." Tour statistics show most successful trips average 15-18 participants. Hotels like Royal Neptun in Dubrovnik and AC Sevilla Forum are selected to comfortably accommodate these smaller group sizes.
What kind of evening activities are available for solo travelers?
Nighttime options range from flamenco shows in Granada to food tours through Rome's neighborhoods. Group dinners and organized activities make evening exploration comfortable for solo travelers. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The group dinners and evening activities were highlights - we enjoyed everything from Fado performances in Porto to wine tastings in Marrakech." Tours often include transport to popular evening spots like Madrid's Plaza Mayor or Lisbon's Restauradores Square. Many accommodations including Hotel Lutetia in Lisbon also organize social events for guests.
