Self-Guided Tours

Whether you're new to solo travelling or somewhat experienced, a Self Guided Tour may be the perfect travel style for you. If you don't want to travel with a group of strangers and would prefer to travel independently. If you feel safe driving or using public transit at your desired destination(s), but worry that you may get lost on your own. Or if you're not familiar with the destination and the best sites to visit and need some guidance. Then a a Self-Guided Tour may be the ideal solution.

A cross between an escorted tour and a fully independent tour, a self-guided tour includes a rental car or rail or bus passes, all accommodations and an itinerary and map to guide you, often as an app on your phone and/or in a downloadable/printable format.

The itinerary will include your route between destinations, it will highlight the iconic sites you won’t want to miss en route plus some hidden gems and insights you won't know about. It will also include addresses and contact information for all your accommodations as well as directions to get there, mileage and driving times. Together with your map or GPS, the itinerary will be your guide for your whole trip.

Some entrance fees may be booked in advance to avoid missing out but most will be optional giving you the flexibility to decide what you want to include each day, stay longer in one place, or drive off the beaten track occasionally

Whether you're travelling solo, with your mom, daughter, partner, family or small group of friends, if a Self-Guided Tour is your preferred travel style, I can arrange everything needed including pre- and post tour accommodations and excursions at your arrival / departure city.

Travel styles for solo female travellers

For solo female travellers, like yourself, when it comes to helping you experience the world safely, I generally offer six travel styles: Escorted Group Tours, Fully Independent Tours, Self-Guided Tours, Ocean Cruises, River Cruises and All-Inclusive Vacations. Each of these can and will encompass several other travel styles, types or categories depending on your preferences or be combined on the same trip. Click on an image below to learn more about each travel style.

Fully Independent Tours

If you’re a somewhat experienced solo traveller and love to discover new things on your own and you feel safe driving or using public transit at your desired destination, then a Fully Independent Tour may be the perfect travel style for you.

Escorted Group Tours

If it's your first time travelling solo or you're worried about your safety as a solo female traveller while abroad, an escorted group tour, particularly one that is for women only, is possibly the ideal travel style for you.

Self-Guided Tours

If you are fairly new to solo travel but don't want to travel with a group of strangers, preferring to travel independently and feel safe driving or using public transit at your desired destination(s), but worry you may get lost on your own, a Self Guided Tour maybe the ideal solution.

Ocean Cruises

If you'd like to visit multiple countries but only unpack once, go island hopping without having to fly between islands or see fjords that can only be reached by boat, then an Ocean Cruise may be the ideal travel style for you.

River Cruises

If you're looking for a relaxed and luxurious multi-destination vacation but only want to pack and repack once, a River Cruise might just be the perfect travel style for you.

All-Inclusive Vacations

If like most people, you need to get away from the long, cold Canadian winter and just relax on a beach somewhere without worrying about emptying your wallet in destination, an All-Inclusive Vacation might just be your ideal travel style.
