How can I search and book a tour as a solo traveler?

Understand how solo pricing and room preferences are shown during search and booking.

Can solo travelers book on TourRadar? Absolutely.

When booking as one traveler, rooming arrangements can affect the total price. Some tours offer shared rooming for solo travelers. Others require a private room, in which case a single supplement applies.

If you’d like to understand what a single supplement is and why it applies, read:
What is a single supplement?

What room options are available?

Room options depend on the tour and operator.

  • Shared Room – Some tours match solo travelers to share a room. This keeps costs lower because the accommodation is shared.

  • Private Room – You stay in the room alone. A single supplement applies because you are covering the full room cost.

  • Multi-share – On some youth-focused tours, accommodation may be dorm-style and shared with multiple travelers.

If shared rooming is not offered, solo travelers must book a private room and the single supplement is mandatory. 

How can I see the options and costs for a solo traveler?

TourRadar makes solo pricing and room options visible before you book.

  • The price shown in the search results will reflect the best price for one person. Under the price, you’ll see whether it is:

    • Price based on Shared Room

    • Price based on Private Single Room

If the price is shown as “based on Shared Room" a private room may still be available for that departure; you can see the exact cost difference on the booking page. 

Use the Solo Travelers filter

If you already know your room preference, you can use the Solo Travelers filter on the search results page.

On the right-hand side, select either:

  • Private Room

  • Shared Room

The search results will then show all tours that offer the selected option.

Please note: the price shown on the search results page will always display the lowest available price for that tour. This may be based on shared rooming.

If you are looking for the cost of a private room, open the tour page and check the booking section to see the exact price difference.

Check the booking page for full accommodation details

Open the tour page and select your preferred departure date to get to the booking page, and the accommodation section.

You can review:

  • Whether shared rooming is available

  • Whether a private room is required

  • The exact cost difference for a private room (single supplement), if applicable.
