What people love about touring England solo
- Walk the Lake District
This was my first experience with Explore, and I am definitely looking into booking with Explore again.
- 5-Day Devon & Cornwall Small Group from London
Great tour. Great guide. There were only five of this on the tour, but Rabbies never cancels, even if there is only one guest. I would recommend both the company and the tour.
- London Explorer
Great way to see it all in one week. A little fast paced for some of the elders in our group. Hotel location was fabulous and hotel food was great, but the hotel is in desperate need of updating and maintenance. Overall a very good tour.
What our customers ask about England Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to tour England?
June through September provides the most reliable weather and longest daylight hours for exploring England particularly in northern areas like the Lake District. Spring (April-May) and autumn (October) mean fewer tourists and better deals at places like The Windsor Hotel or Hampton by Hilton Bath. The shoulder seasons let you enjoy popular sites without peak crowds while still having good conditions for outdoor activities. A TourRadar traveler noted: "I went in September and it was perfect - still warm enough for outdoor activities but not as crowded as summer."
What are the most popular regions in England for solo guided tours?
Three regions stand out for solo travelers: the Lake District Cornwall and the Cotswolds. The Lake District draws visitors with its mountains lakes and villages like Ambleside and Keswick. Cornwall offers rugged coastlines and sites like Tintagel Castle. In the Cotswolds stone villages like Castle Combe and Lacock showcase traditional English charm. Most tours include stays at centrally located properties like The Windsor Hotel in Windsor or The Bear in Woodstock. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The Lake District was absolutely stunning - perfect mix of guided activities and free time to explore on my own."
How much free time do I get on England guided tours?
Tours mix structured activities with plenty of independent exploration time especially in major cities. You'll find dedicated free periods to visit places like Windsor Castle or explore Cotswolds villages. Many accommodations like the Thistle London Marble Arch or The Fleece in Cirencester put you right where you want to be for independent exploring. A TourRadar traveler commented: "The perfect mix of structured tours and free time to discover places on my own or with new friends from the group."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on England tours?
Expect to stay in well-positioned 3-4 star hotels and guesthouses. Options range from the Tower Suites in London to The Belsfield Hotel in the Lake District. Smaller towns often feature family-run properties like Somerton Lodge in Shanklin Isle of Wight. These places are selected for their convenient locations and common areas where travelers can gather. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hotels were all in great locations making it easy to explore during free time and meet up with others from the group."
What is the typical group size for solo travelers on guided tours in England?
Most tours keep groups between 12-16 people using 16-seat Mercedes mini-coaches. This smaller size works well for accessing narrow village roads in places like Port Isaac and Hawkshead. The intimate setting helps solo travelers form connections while allowing flexibility that larger tours can't match. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned about their England tour: "The small group made it easy to get to know everyone and our guide made sure no one felt left out."
How easy is it to meet other travelers when touring England solo?
Group activities naturally bring people together whether it's sharing cream teas in Devon exploring Stonehenge or having dinner in historic pubs. Many tours start with welcome dinners at places like the Tower Suites in London. Daily shared experiences such as Lake Windermere boat rides and York walking tours help form natural connections. As one TourRadar reviewer shared: "Despite traveling alone I never felt lonely - our guide June was fabulous at bringing the group together and we all became good friends by the end."
