What people love about touring South Italy solo
- Southern Italy
My husband and I spent an amazing ten days in Italy thanks to Alex from Eskapas. Also our guide Adrian was fun, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. I would absolutely recommend your tour company again and I have already. Thank you again! We loved every minute of it!
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
The tour met all my expectations. It was a little too hectic though for myself and my wife in our 70s. I realise you want to show us as much about your glorious island as possible. The reason given for the many early starts was to get to ticket offices to buy tickets Why not buy tickets in advance where possible? I also feel that some of the visits were overly long
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days
It's my best tour ever, hotels are excellent, special in Malta, food are excellent, itinerary are excellent, saw a lot unesco heritage, transportation are excellent, very big bus, driver and guides are good, the price is very worthy, thx
What our customers ask about South Italy Tours for Solo Travelers
Which areas of South Italy are most solo traveler-friendly?
The Amalfi Coast region stands out as an excellent choice for solo travelers with towns like Sorrento Positano and Amalfi leading the way. These destinations offer reliable public transportation networks social atmospheres and a warm local welcome. Places like the Mercure Palermo Centro in Sicily's capital give travelers a central base for independent exploration. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Sorrento was perfect as a solo base - safe to walk around lots of cafes and restaurants and easy to meet other travelers at the hotel's common areas."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit South Italy?
Visit during the shoulder seasons from April to May or September to October. These periods offer comfortable temperatures less crowded attractions and better chances to connect with other travelers. Booking data shows these months attract the highest number of solo travelers. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Traveling in May meant perfect weather for walking tours and outdoor activities plus it was easier to meet people without the summer crowds."
What is the typical single supplement cost for South Italy tours?
Expect to pay between USD 400-800 for single supplements on week-long tours. Several companies like G Adventures help avoid these costs by matching you with another solo traveler of the same gender. Properties such as Il Principe Hotel in Catania and Hotel Villa Diodoro in Taormina offer single rooms but book up quickly. A TourRadar traveler noted "I was paired with another solo traveler and it worked out great saving me money while making a new friend."
What kind of accommodations can solo travelers expect?
Most tours place travelers in quality 3-4 star hotels such as Hotel Reginna Palace in Minori or Il Principe Hotel in Catania. Standard amenities include private bathrooms air conditioning and WiFi. Some operators like G Adventures mix in stays at family-run agriturismos creating more opportunities for social interaction. A TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "The mix of hotels and local guesthouses was perfect - comfortable rooms but also chances to meet other travelers in common areas."
How safe is it for solo travelers in South Italy?
South Italy maintains strong safety standards especially in tourist areas like Pompeii the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. Organized tours add extra security with guides providing local safety advice and round-the-clock support. Hotels such as the Mercure Palermo Centro maintain 24-hour security and reception staff. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe throughout the tour especially with our guide's attention to security and local knowledge."
Are there any special activities designed for solo travelers?
Group activities naturally bring solo travelers together through experiences like Sorrento cooking classes Marsala wine tastings and guided walks on the Path of the Gods. Many accommodations especially agriturismos organize shared dinners and local craft demonstrations. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The pizza-making class was a highlight - everyone bonded while learning to make authentic Neapolitan pizza together."
