What people love about touring Italy solo
- 5-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
It was a fantastsic tour! Clara, so knowledgeable and always so helpful.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
The tour guide, Placido, was excellent as well as the bus driver. They had good rapport with the group. We saw amazing sights, the accommodations were good, especially in Agrigento, and the commentary was good. Some things to improve: it should be highlighted that this is a WALKING tour and requires some mobility. We had three people who were challenged daily and the group was significantly slowed down as a result; also, there should be better communication between the tour company and cities and provinces about local events which might hinder the passage of the tour bus. (In our case it was a cycling race, which made it impossible to cross the road to our destination of Marsala and a wine tasting.) ; and finally, each day there were additional costs to get into sights. Each day it should be mentioned which places are optional and at what cost. We have already mentioned the tour to people we have met with good reviews but the above improvements would make it even better.
- Classical Italy
This tour was great mostly because of the main guide and Rome's city guide (Phillipo). Our group was fantastic. We had a lot of flexibility with the itinerary. Yes, it feels rushed sometimes and there aren't a lot of included options but it is a budget tour with not many days. The hotels weren't great but they are good enough for a bed to sleep in and a bathroom to shower in. You are barely in the hotels. Gaby was so kind and caring. Will def go with this group again.
What our customers ask about Italy Tours for Solo Travelers
Which Italian destinations are most recommended for solo guided tours?
The Amalfi Coast Tuscany and Sicily stand out as excellent choices for solo travelers. The compact towns of the Amalfi Coast such as Positano and Ravello provide easy-to-navigate streets with plenty of social spaces. Sicily's cities like Taormina and Syracuse welcome visitors with open arms as noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The family at Luna d'Agerola treated us like family." These regions work well for solo explorers thanks to their built-in social activities from Palermo food tours to Montepulciano wine tastings.
What is the typical single supplement cost for guided tours in Italy?
Single supplements for week-long Italy tours usually cost between USD 400-600. At the 4-star Hotel Ariston in Taormina guests pay USD 440 extra for a sea view single room. Some tour operators help avoid this cost by offering roommate matching services for travelers open to sharing accommodations.
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Italy?
The sweet spots fall between April-May and September-October when crowds thin out and temperatures stay mild. Data shows these months attract the highest number of solo bookings at 35-40%. One TourRadar traveler explained: "Traveling in May meant comfortable temperatures for walking tours and easier socializing with the group without overwhelming summer crowds."
How much free time is typically available on Italy guided tours?
Tours generally provide 2-4 hours of independent exploration daily alongside scheduled activities. In Venice you might spend the morning with a guide at St. Mark's Square then get afternoon hours to wander the canals on your own. Reviews often mention this format creates "the perfect balance of group activities and personal exploration time."
What evening activities are typically arranged for solo travelers?
Evenings often feature shared meals cooking demonstrations and guided walks. Common activities include wine sessions in Tuscany gelato-making classes in Florence and dinner at local restaurants. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The evening activities were perfect for socializing - from limoncello tasting in Sorrento to group dinners in Rome I never felt alone."
What's the typical group size on Italy guided tours?
Most small group tours accommodate between 8-20 people. The Sicily Food & Wine tour keeps things intimate with just 8 guests while the Amalfi Coast Walking tour typically hosts 12-15 participants. These smaller numbers make it easier for solo travelers to get to know their fellow tour members.
