News / Intrepid Brand New Solo Trips for 2018
Intrepid Travel releases best solo trips
What if you’ve got the urge for adventure, but no-one to do it with? Over 50% of travellers on Intrepid Travel’s trips are traveling solo, which is why traveling as part of their small group tours has its perks. They’ve got expert local leaders on tap to show your clients around, ready-made friends who are itching to explore, and optional single supplements if your clients want a room all to yourself. All they have to do is turn up with a smile and a passport: we’ll handle the rest.
Brand new trips for solo travellers
You guys loved our first solo-traveler-only trips earlier this year, so we’ve got some great news; brand new solo-only departures for 2018. We’ve picked some of our most popular trips and scheduled a couple of solo-only departures, perfect for those of you that only want to travel with other, like-minded solo travellers.Perks of travelling solo
A local leaderWhen your clients all by themselves, it’s easy to fall into the typical tourist traps. Wander within a few blocks of the hotel, see a few of the big sights and that’s about it. But solo travel on a group tour isn’t like that. Each of Intrepid Travel’s trips has an expert local leader who knows every backstreet bar, cool tapas joint and hidden gallery. They’ll give tips for your free time exploring, and introduce your clients to locals.
Ready-made friends
Go solo, but not alone. That’s Intrepid Travels’s motto. The average Intrepid Travel trip has about ten people on it – people of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world. It’s like a hostel dorm room that travels with you (minus the smell and the weird naked guy).Your clients’ got ready-made friends for a karaoke session, a white water rafting adventure or just a chat over the breakfast table. For a solo traveller, it’s a nice perk to have.
Logistics and convenience
Intrepid Travel spent the better part of 30 years honing their itineraries, getting rid of the dodgy hotels and keeping the good ones, picking the best restaurants to visit, and organizing public transport and all the other logistics of travel so your clients don’t have to worry. Travelling alone can often be a) confusing and b) complicated. But with us, all you need is a good attitude – we’ll take care of the rest.
Safety
The leaders know the areas of town to avoid after dark. They know how to haggle at markets, avoid pickpockets and scammers and generally have a good time without anything going wrong. And don’t forget, when you travel solo on a group tour, you’re in a group! Make a bunch of new friends to watch their’ back (and their stuff). It’s all the flexibility and freedom of independent travel, but without the risks.
