WALKING HOLIDAYS FOR SINGLES

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place for a walking holiday?

It comes down to what inspires you. On a Just You walking holiday, you can choose between a wide range of holidays to suit all preferences. For show-stopping coastal scenery, the Amalfi Coast is hard to beat. History buffs will love exploring Crete or experiencing the Camino de Santiago, which blends varied landscapes with rich culture. Prefer gentler gradients and slower days? Tuscany is an excellent choice.

Whichever you choose, you’ll love our Christmas breaks: a comfortable, handpicked hotel, festive dining with a traditional Christmas Day lunch, and a relaxing itinerary that makes it easy to meet like-minded travellers. Pick the setting that suits your style and we’ll handle the details.

Are your walking holidays suitable for singles and first-time solo travellers?

Absolutely. Every Just You holiday is created for solo travellers. You’ll have your own room and plenty of shared experiences, with a friendly Holiday Director on hand to host the group. From the welcome get-together to relaxed dinners, settling in and feeling part of the group is easy.

Are the walks guided?

Yes. All our walking holidays for singles are guided by Specialist Local Guides who bring each landscape to life with local stories and information. They’ll set a steady pace with regular breaks, so you can enjoy your surroundings and get to know your fellow travellers.

How many hours will we walk each day, and what are the routes like?

Typically, our walking tours involve around 3 to 6 hours of walking per day, depending on the itinerary and whether optional walks are included. Routes vary by region – coastal and countryside routes are gentler, while mountain and hill walks include variable terrain. You’ll receive more information on your specific tour before departure.

What should I pack for a walking holiday?

Generally, you need comfortable walking boots or trail shoes, layered clothing, waterproofs, and a small backpack for water, snacks, and sun protection. We’ll provide a complete packing list before departure. In colder seasons, bring light gloves and an extra layer of clothing.

What size is the tour group?

Our holiday group sizes do vary from tour to tour, but we have an average group size of 27. Big or small, there are plenty of opportunities to socialise on our walking holidays for singles. So, whether you fancy making friends at breakfast or while you’re admiring Renaissance architecture, you’re guaranteed a great time.

If group size is an important deciding factor for your trip, you can always talk to one of our helpful team for advice and guidance on the walking tour that’s likely to suit you.

For example, our Walking in Tuscany tour is part of our Max 20 range – a tour that will never have more than 20 solo travellers on it.

Will I have free time for sightseeing or to rest?

Yes. Each itinerary includes a balance of guided walks and downtime, allowing you to unwind or explore independently. Depending on the tour, we also offer a number of optional excursions so you can experience even more of your destination.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety is our priority. Routes may be adapted, or alternative sightseeing arranged, but we’ll always make sure your holiday is enjoyable. Your Holiday Director will communicate any changes in good time.

What’s the accommodation like?

Our tours include stays at hand-picked hotels in convenient and scenic locations, offering comfort after a day’s walking. You will be guaranteed your own room, and breakfast is included, helping to fuel your daily walking adventures.

What’s the best time of year for walking holidays in Europe?

Spring and autumn are generally ideal for walking holidays in destinations like Crete or Tuscany. As a guide, Mediterranean highs sit around 18 to 24°C in April to May and September to October.

Do you offer single rooms or room shares?

On Just You solo walking holidays, you’ll always have a twin or double room all to yourself. It’s great to have that space to relax and reflect at the end of a busy day on your feet.

In some hotels you can also pay a little extra to upgrade for more space or a lovely sea view.
