What people love about touring USA solo
- Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell Small Groups Overnight Tour
Our 2-day canyon tour from Las Vegas was unforgettable, thanks to our guides, Branch and Charlie. From the moment we met them, they made us feel comfortable and provided us with the perfect amount of fascinating information about each location. Their lively personalities made the trip enjoyable and fun! The first day we started by visiting Hubert. Soon after, we explored a cool Route 66 town and then hiked to the breathtaking Grand Canyon. After driving through the Navajo Nation and its unique landscapes, our evening ended with a fun group dinner. Our hotel was fantastic, it has a pool, so don't forget your swimsuit! The next day, we explored the amazing Antelope Canyon (not to be missed) and looked at the views of Horseshoe Bend. The entire trip was entertaining, educational and very enjoyable, all thanks to Branch and Charlie. I highly recommend this adventure and I will definitely plan a next one!
- Best of the West 11 Day National Parks Tour Lodging Las Vegas to San Francisco
Amazing team and experience thank you! Our family took this tour in Sept 2021 and loved every minute of it. We got to tick everything from our wish list, so many national parks and other sights! There was plenty of time for walks in the parks and a good variety of optional activities based on individual interests. Bindlestiff staff were excellent pre tour and gave us helpful tips and packing suggestions, the staff was always extremely prompt and courteous. Our guide Jon was outstanding. His in depth knowledge of the areas we visited and enthusiasm was incredible. He went above and beyond for the group at every opportunity. Thank you Bindlestiff- we are already planning our next adventure with you! x
Being a senior, I discovered that tent camping has become a significant challenge. That said, the tour was an awesome experience. The sites were chosen for maximum beauty and immersion in raw nature. Dave and Natalie know the areas well and were well organized. Yan and Kiki were so very helpful and detail oriented. Thanks for a great and memorable experience.

What our customers ask about USA Tours for Solo Travelers
How social are USA guided tours for solo travelers?
USA guided tours provide natural opportunities for connection with over 50% of participants typically traveling solo. You'll spend time with fellow travelers during daily activities like hiking through Yosemite exploring Las Vegas or sharing meals at local spots such as the Talkeetna Roadhouse in Alaska. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The group meshed well and we all just had fun together making these days unforgettable."
What's the typical group size on USA guided tours?
Tours in the USA keep groups small ranging from 10-15 people to create comfortable social settings. The Georgia History Trail tour usually runs with 8-12 people while National Parks excursions limit groups to 15 travelers. These smaller numbers make it easy to get to know others as you explore Bryce Canyon or walk across the Golden Gate Bridge together.
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect?
Lodging ranges from standard hotels like the Sheraton Salt Lake City to unique stays such as glamping sites in Zion National Park. Most tours use 3-4 star properties near key attractions. The Georgia History Trail features historic hotels like The Slate Hotel Denver Downtown while National Parks routes mix traditional lodges with properties like the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel.
Which USA destinations are most popular among solo travelers?
Booking data shows Alaska Yellowstone National Park and the Southwest National Parks draw the most solo travelers making up 39-54% of reservations. These locations balance structured activities with personal time. National Parks create natural meeting points through shared experiences like watching wildlife in Yellowstone or hiking glaciers in Alaska.
What's the best time for solo travelers to visit USA national parks?
The best timing changes by region. Summer months work well for Alaska and most national parks while spring and fall (April-May or September-October) suit the Southwest and Southern states. Winter brings smaller crowds to Death Valley and Southwest parks. One TourRadar traveler recommended: "I did the Southwest in October - perfect weather and a great mix of solo travelers seeking similar experiences."
How much interaction is there with local communities during USA tours?
Local connections form a key part of many tours especially in Alaska and the Southwest. Programs often include stops at Native American communities and family businesses that share their traditions and daily life. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Meeting local guides in Monument Valley and learning about Navajo culture was a highlight of the trip."
