What people love about touring USA solo
- Yellowstone & Rocky Mountain Explorer
Joe is fun and passionate
- Death Valley Day Tour from Las Vegas- Small Groups Tour
Wear layers and good shoes. Adrian, our guide, was amazing! He had lots of interesting facts, great stories and really connected with our family and the other couple in our group. Everything was so beautiful! The stops were perfect! Loved all of it and ask for Adrian!
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
We really enjoyed our canyon tour. Our guide Aurora was very organized and informative. She always had a backup plan for those of us who were not able to do hikes. Traveling in a smaller group allowed us to go and see sites that we couldn’t have experienced on a bigger bus tour or on our own. We had plenty of time to enjoy the canyon views. We also enjoyed being able to experience activities such as a hummer tour in Arches and helicopter tour in Grand Canyon, adventures that we would never have done on our own.
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."
