What people love about touring South Italy solo
- Southern Italy
We just got back from the Northern Italy tour and had such a wonderful time! The 10 days flew by, with each city bringing its own unique charm. Our guide was full of interesting stories and really knew his stuff, which made all the difference. The hotels were cozy, and the travel pace was just right not too rushed. We got a lot of free time on every destination, which was perfect for us. It was also great how everything was very organized and smooth. I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a thorough but relaxing tour of Italy.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
Fantastic tour of Sicily it was a very interesting and busy itinerary and I very much enjoyed the historical content. The Greek and Roman sites were impressive. Our Guide was absolutely brilliant organising a large group! His knowledge of the history and customs of Sicily was excellent. The meals included were of a good standard, however service was slow with such a large party. It would have been helpful to have some basic drinks included as was difficult to organise paying for these at the end of the evening! I would highly recommend Sicilian Secrets!
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days
It's my best tour ever, hotels are excellent, special in Malta, food are excellent, itinerary are excellent, saw a lot unesco heritage, transportation are excellent, very big bus, driver and guides are good, the price is very worthy, thx
What our customers ask about South Italy Tours for Solo Travelers
Which areas of South Italy are most solo traveler-friendly?
The Amalfi Coast region stands out as an excellent choice for solo travelers with towns like Sorrento Positano and Amalfi leading the way. These destinations offer reliable public transportation networks social atmospheres and a warm local welcome. Places like the Mercure Palermo Centro in Sicily's capital give travelers a central base for independent exploration. 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. Booking data shows these months attract the highest number of solo travelers. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Traveling in May meant perfect weather for walking tours and outdoor activities plus it was easier to meet people without the summer crowds."
What is the typical single supplement cost for South Italy tours?
Expect to pay between USD 400-800 for single supplements on week-long tours. Several companies like G Adventures help avoid these costs by matching you with another solo traveler of the same gender.

What kind of accommodations can solo travelers expect?

Some operators like G Adventures mix in stays at family-run agriturismos creating more opportunities for social interaction. A TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "The mix of hotels and local guesthouses was perfect - comfortable rooms but also chances to meet other travelers in common areas."

Group activities naturally bring solo travelers together through experiences like Sorrento cooking classes Marsala wine tastings and guided walks on the Path of the Gods. Many accommodations especially agriturismos organize shared dinners and local craft demonstrations.
