Solo Travellers

We welcome thousands of solo travellers onto our tours every year. For so many reasons, including the sociable nature of our tours and the friendliness of the Tour Managers, a group holiday with Rail Discoveries is an ideal choice for individuals travelling on their own.

Why choose Rail Discoveries as a solo traveller?

Those who chose to travel by themselves with Rail Discoveries are every bit as important as those who travel as a group. As such, solo travellers with Rail Discoveries can enjoy the same high quality of holiday as everyone else, benefiting from exciting excursions, wonderful destinations and excellent accommodation.

Fair single supplements

At Rail Discoveries, we promise to operate a fair and transparent policy on our single supplements. Unfortunately, most hoteliers charge a higher rate for a single room rather than halving the cost of a twin or double room that we have to pass on to our solo travellers as a supplement. These prices only reflect the extra costs levied by the hotels and is not something we add to the costs as a business in order to make a profit. There is no such supplement for your rail travel, excursions, transfers or meals and we always work exceptionally hard to negotiate the lowest possible prices for our single travellers.

On many of our tours, solo travellers will have sole occupancy of a twin or double room rather than a smaller single room. We indicate clearly on each tour page which option the single supplement covers.

A shared holiday experience

A Rail Discoveries tour is usually made up of around 10-12 couples as well as 4-5 solo travellers but the appeal is the same for everyone; excellent itineraries, fantastic excursions, superb rail travel, great hotels and the services of a dedicated Tour Manager. No matter what size group you're travelling in, each tour is priced in such a way as to offer real value for money to all our customers. On arrival at your departure point, you'll meet your group and Tour Manager, and from there on out, you'll be travelling and dining with the same people, providing the perfect chance to make friends with a collection of like-minded, English-speaking travellers.

“A very enjoyable experience with good company, very good food, a helpful Tour Manager, comfortable accommodation in delightful Worcester and enjoyable excursions to Bridgnorth, Broadway and Tewkesbury Abbey. Cheltenham disappointed. One of the rail journeys ( SVR) was unfortunately diesel-hauled until we changed - by choice - to a later steam service.

“The tour apart from a problem with a Scotrail train was good despite inclement weather. Food at BW Crianlarich was excellent as were the staff made us all very welcome I’d give it 5 stars . Jacobite Train trip excellent despite the Scotch mist , also the Loch Lomond trip, and our coach Driver Brian was excellent. Last but not least our tour guide Gareth was excellent throughout the trip. In short a really good holiday and thanks to all involved in making it so. Regards Ian Whitfield

“A beautiful area to visit, lovely market towns like Buxton and Bakewell (and the yummy Bakewell Pudding), historic houses and heritage railways. We travelled on a Rail Discoveries tour which was excellent, all trips included and a great tour manager to ensure it went without a hitch.
