What people love about touring South Italy solo
- Sicilian Secrets - Mini Tour of Sicily 5 days
Great way to know Sicily and all its main attractions. The tour is very well organized, from the hotel accommodation to the beautiful excursions. We became friends with our sweet guide Grazia, who has been always at our disposal . We also had the time to drink very good wine and eat exquisite pasta . We loved it.
The trip was a great time and enjoyed by all four of us. The accommodations were not needed in Venice, but our stays in Roma and Amalfi were lovely. Shout out to the Guardian Hotel and San't Angelo Resort and Spa. The staff at both were very helpful while we stayed with them. The train connections were no trouble at all. Overall, the only thing that would be nice is being given options for hotels to choose from along with the addresses so that we can plan what items of interest might be nearby to continue our adventures. Questions were answered in a timely manner for most things. The staff was helpful although it seemed with one or two of them, there may have been a communication barrier or lack of understanding. Overall: Great tour to go on and would recommend.
Italian Treasures
- Walking the Amalfi Coast (15 destinations)
Amazing!! So so much fun and the walks and views and food were all sensational!! Should definitely be noted that this really should not be labelled as a ‘leisure to moderate’ activity level if you are not used to walking 10km on unveven/hinterland/mountainous terrain. Large majority of people in my group used walking polls everyday and although were able to complete the walks, they were mildly challenging in some parts. But besides that, oh my gosh would recommend this tour to anyone who wants an awesome, insightful and really unique, atypical experience of Italy, you honestly learn so much and the people that do these tours (at least in my group) are so likeminded, open, genuine people and make the whole experience that much better! The accommodation is soooo lovely and the staff are absolutely fantastic! Severio was awesome, and really did his best to accommodate for everyone and we all felt like a family with his support and guidance. You won’t be disappointed with this tour!! ☺️☺️☺️

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.

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.

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."

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.
