What people love about touring Southern USA solo
- Southern Charms & Florida
Been on many luxury tours and this particular one was value for money and most enjoyable included tours & optional extra tours just one mishap which caused a great deal of stress when we where leaving Orlando our transfer failed to arrive had to organise a taxi but was very doubtful if we would make our flight and our other connections will be sending cosmos taxi receipt for re imbursement and other expenses incurred
- Tastes and Sounds of the South
A well planned and executed tour. Great way to see Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans and learn the history of music during the day and listen to it at night.
- Southern Style
What a great tour- the best holiday we have ever had. Trying hard to get the money together for another one - but never ever going with another tour company - Travelling Time are the best!
What our customers ask about Southern USA Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the typical age range of solo travelers on Southern USA tours?
Most Southern USA tours attract travelers between 55-60 years old. Tour booking data shows that solo travelers make up more than 50% of participants. The pace and structure work well for mature travelers looking to connect with others while exploring places like Charleston's Historic District or Nashville's Broadway. Recent travelers often mention the balance between organized activities and independent exploration. A TourRadar traveler noted "Sandra and Ronnie were both outstanding hosts...we thoroughly enjoyed our experience."
What are the best seasons for solo travelers to visit Southern USA?
The most comfortable times to visit are Spring (March-May) and Fall (September-November) when temperatures are mild and tourist areas are less crowded. Most travelers book tours in April-May and September-October. Spring brings 70°F/21°C temperatures perfect for walking tours in Charleston and Savannah where gardens are blooming. One traveler's feedback helps with timing: "Wrong time for tour. Two weeks late for summer weather and 2 weeks early for fall colors."
How much free time is typically available on Southern USA tours?
Tours provide about 2-3 hours of free time each day plus occasional full free afternoons. This allows time to explore Nashville's music scene in the evening or walk through Savannah's historic squares at your own pace. The schedule blends structured activities with personal exploration time. As one traveler put it: "Everything was well planned and lots of fun. I enjoyed all the tours and there was a good mix of planned activities and free time."
How do meal arrangements work for solo travelers on Southern USA tours?
Tours usually cover daily breakfasts and several group dinners creating natural social settings. Most packages include 6-8 breakfasts and 2-3 dinners at places like the Jekyll Island Club. Guides can suggest good spots for solo dining near hotels such as the DeSoto in Savannah when meals aren't included. One traveler noted "The food was great especially the cooking demonstration in Savannah."
How many people typically travel solo on Southern USA tours?
Groups usually consist of 20-30 people with about 40% traveling solo. Popular routes like Globus' "America's Musical Heritage" and Costsaver's "Rhythms of the South" often see high numbers of independent travelers. A recent review stated: "The tour had a great mix of solo travelers and couples making it easy to connect with others who shared similar interests in music and Southern culture."
What cultural experiences can solo travelers expect on Southern USA tours?
Tours offer direct access to Southern heritage through visits to places like Louisiana's Houmas House plantation and Nashville's RCA Studio B. Cultural programs include Gullah Geechee presentations on Jekyll Island and special entry to sites like the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Local food experiences range from cooking classes to meals at historic spots like New Orleans' Court of Two Sisters. One reviewer shared: "The local experiences were fantastic - from learning about Civil War history at Fort Sumter to enjoying live jazz on Bourbon Street."
