Hi I've never used to this before, and was thinking of doing a tour of america, and just wondered if there are alot of people who go alone on these trips or is more of a place where friends go together.

I would appreciate any response.

Thanks.

Just do it. Heaps of ppl on my tour i just did went by themselves. This forum is actually a great tool to start to get to know ppl so by the start of the tour you sort of have a clue of who ppl are Smiler

I want to go in 2010,not sure on the tour yet. I am more worried about being alone before & after the tour & as being alone their are the extra costs. Also I want to do Disneyland, but not alone.

hi,
i was worried about the same thing i really want to go on the western highlights tour-how ever it leaves from L.A and doesn't actually go to any of the sights there-so i guess i will have to do them on my own!
if your thinking of going in april 2010 let me know as this is when im planning my trip and i will be looking for a travel buddy so that i can go to disney etc!

I'm thinking of doing the wild western tour in feb 2010. I'll be going alone also, but from what i hear so do many others.
I'm sure you will make great friends on your tour and shouldn't worry to much about being on your own. However, like many others i am a little apprehensive before and after the tour traveling alone, i want to do disneyland and universal studios and most likely will leave this for after the tour as i hope others i meet will want to join me (if not bugger it, i'll go on my own - always wanted to go to disneyland)
can't wait though.. Big Grin

I'm traveling alone myself next year, did one with a mate last year however going alone this year.

On the tour I did, there were a lot of people who travelled alone and then they allocate 2 people (same sex of course) to a room. I personally am paying the supplement for a single room but you meet so many people on the tour, you make lots of friends very quickly!
