The Solo-ish Trip was exactly what I needed -- we ended up being a diverse group of like-minded travellers and with our tour guide's leadership, we experienced Turkey in what I can only describe as "grown up summer camp." We learned, and we laughed. I can't wait to book my next Solo-ish Trip.

I love the new Solo-ish concept, and hope you continue to provide more and more options for Solo-ish tours. In my previous small group tours, it was sometimes challenging to be one of the only solo travelers and either feel like a "third wheel" if I tagged along with a group or feel like a loner if I didn't "click" with the few other solo travelers on a trip. It was so nice to have everyone be a solo traveler! As for the tour itself, it was a great introduction to Turkey - I especially liked the time in Cappadocia, which had such a great mix of activities - definitely the best part of the trip.
