What people love about touring South Italy solo
- Southern Italy
A fabulous trip with a fantastic mix of scenery, walking , culture and food experiences. It was our 20th year wedding trip and we had a lot of fun!
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
Angelo was a great tour guide. The wine tour was fun. The sights we were taken to were nice to see.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days
The tour was very well organized and we couldn’t have had a better tour leader. Angelo was always very kind and patient and went above and beyond to be helpful. We saw quite a bit of Sicily in just one week. Hotels were ok, 4 star by Sicilian standards I guess. Included lunches were good for the most part. The included dinners were substandard. We had a great group which added to the enjoyment of the tour. It would be helpful to know hotels we are staying in more than 5 days before tour starts so we can book our own airport transfers which would have been less expensive. Also more attention needs to be paid to the small details. Didn’t affect me much since I am on top of everything but still had to deal with and correct the minor mistakes in my booking. All in all a good trip!

A TourRadar traveler shared: "Sorrento was perfect as a solo base - safe to walk around lots of cafes and restaurants and easy to meet other travelers at the hotel's common areas."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit South Italy?
Visit during the shoulder seasons from April to May or September to October. These periods offer comfortable temperatures less crowded attractions and better chances to connect with other travelers.
