What people love about touring South Italy solo
- 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.
- Sicilian Secrets - Mini Tour of Sicily 5 days
The guide is very professional. The overall tour in Sicilia is so impressive. Overall the agenda every day was well managed and we really enjoy the whole trip

This is my second Holiday with Dimensione Sicilia and won't be the last!
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."
