Singles Travel Experience- This special trip offering offers an excellent way to travel with some other singles on a trip that may not generate a large enough number of singles for a solo singles group only but it gives you the opportunity to travel on a great trip to a great destination with some other singles and we can help you avoid the single supplement fee on these great trips.  You’ll be with other regular travelers (unless our singles sign up early and take all the seats!) to assure that we have a large enough group to travel to this great destination. So the tour may not be exclusively single but that’s no reason not to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to visit a wonderful destination as the group will have a professional, local tour director leading the trip. We’ll make sure our singles are able to correspond before the trip with the other singles signed up.
