What people love about touring USA solo
- Gold Experience – 6 Days
Great tour and well organised to fit in as many sights as possible. Roberto, our guide, was considerate of everyone’s needs and gave expert bilingual commentary. I learnt so much, but admittedly would have liked even more commentary to go with the sights and the landscape we travelled through. Also, the first day in San Francisco didn’t quite match the description in the brochure (e.g. we were supposed to have a ‘boat tour’ the bay around Alcatraz and under the bridge but we caught the public ferry to Sausalito). Luckily, this improved as we went through the whole tour. The drivers did a good job as well to expertly cover so many miles in the time frame. Overall, I would certainly recommend this tour.

Brilliant arrangements! I was blown away by the culture and nature of this part of the world. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide, and the whole trip was great.

Great itinerary and excellent guide.
What our customers ask about USA Tours for Solo Travelers
How social are USA guided tours for solo travelers?
USA guided tours provide natural opportunities for connection with over 50% of participants typically traveling solo. You'll spend time with fellow travelers during daily activities like hiking through Yosemite exploring Las Vegas or sharing meals at local spots such as the Talkeetna Roadhouse in Alaska. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The group meshed well and we all just had fun together making these days unforgettable."
What's the typical group size on USA guided tours?
Tours in the USA keep groups small ranging from 10-15 people to create comfortable social settings. The Georgia History Trail tour usually runs with 8-12 people while National Parks excursions limit groups to 15 travelers. These smaller numbers make it easy to get to know others as you explore Bryce Canyon or walk across the Golden Gate Bridge together.
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect?
Lodging ranges from standard hotels like the Sheraton Salt Lake City to unique stays such as glamping sites in Zion National Park. Most tours use 3-4 star properties near key attractions. The Georgia History Trail features historic hotels like The Slate Hotel Denver Downtown while National Parks routes mix traditional lodges with properties like the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel.
Which USA destinations are most popular among solo travelers?
Booking data shows Alaska Yellowstone National Park and the Southwest National Parks draw the most solo travelers making up 39-54% of reservations. These locations balance structured activities with personal time. National Parks create natural meeting points through shared experiences like watching wildlife in Yellowstone or hiking glaciers in Alaska.
What's the best time for solo travelers to visit USA national parks?
The best timing changes by region. Summer months work well for Alaska and most national parks while spring and fall (April-May or September-October) suit the Southwest and Southern states. Winter brings smaller crowds to Death Valley and Southwest parks. One TourRadar traveler recommended: "I did the Southwest in October - perfect weather and a great mix of solo travelers seeking similar experiences."
How much interaction is there with local communities during USA tours?
Local connections form a key part of many tours especially in Alaska and the Southwest. Programs often include stops at Native American communities and family businesses that share their traditions and daily life. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Meeting local guides in Monument Valley and learning about Navajo culture was a highlight of the trip."
