As the cold and wet weather continues across the UK, many individuals are seeking to book holidays to provide something to anticipate. Solo travel presents an excellent opportunity to explore the world and connect with new people, and one tour company is currently offering a compelling deal specifically for solo adventurers on group tours.
Substantial Savings for Solo Travellers
Wendy Wu Tours has launched a promotion where solo travellers can receive either free or half-price single supplements on a broad selection of group tours. This offer enables savings of up to £1,680 per person on itineraries such as the 'Ultimate South America' holiday. The deal encompasses a wide array of destinations and departures throughout 2026 and 2027, with the promotion valid for bookings made until February 28.
The offer applies exclusively to group tours and does not include Tailormade, Private Tours, or Cruise & Tour holidays. According to the company, the 'Free Single Supplement' and 'Half Price Single Supplement' promotions are as displayed on their website and are available for both Flight Inclusive and Land Only bookings. However, it is important to note that availability is limited.
Destinations Included in the Offer
The 'Free Single Supplement' offer, which provides savings of up to £1,680 per person, is available for trips to China. This includes all departures for tours such as A China Experience, In Pursuit of Pandas, Glories of China, and Majestic Yangtze scheduled for 2026. Additionally, travellers can select from destinations including India, Latin America, Europe, and Africa, ensuring there is an option to suit various interests.
For instance, the Majestic Yangtze tour is a 14-day, fully inclusive journey with prices starting from £3,490 per person. Participants will experience the natural grandeur of the Three Gorges during a relaxing Yangtze River Cruise, alongside visits to China's captivating cities of Shanghai, Xian, and Beijing. The itinerary also includes an opportunity to see the Giant Pandas of Chengdu.
Half-Price Supplement Options
For the Half Price Single Supplements, travellers can save up to £995 per person. This promotion covers destinations such as Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Latin America, and Africa. The company highlights that a supplement is typically charged to solo travellers occupying a double hotel room, making this discount particularly valuable.
An example is the Japan Uncovered trip, a 17-day group tour with prices from £7,190 per person. Described as the 'most popular' Japan tour, it includes all the classic sights and key cultural activities, such as viewing Mt Fuji and experiencing sumo wrestling.
Alternative Solo Travel Options
As an alternative, travellers might consider Flash Pack, which offers several solo trips. Options include an 'Italy: South' trip for seven days from £3,235, 'Escapism in the Philippines' for 12 days from £3,620, or the 'Thailand: Phuket & Andaman Coast' trip for 10 days from £2,310.
Alternatively, Riviera Travel provides other offers, including River Cruises, Escorted Tours, Solo Holidays, and Ocean & Yacht Cruises. Currently, they have a 'boosted 20% off' promotion on River Cruises covering the Danube, Rhône, Rhine, and Douro.
Customer Feedback and Reviews
On Trustpilot, Wendy Wu Tours has received an overall rating of 4.4 out of five stars from more than 200 reviews, categorising its performance as 'Excellent'. One reviewer commented: "Egypt is a fantastic country to visit. The tour highlighted all of the sights we wanted to see and exceeded our expectations. The tour director and guide were exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. The hotels and cruise boat were wonderful and all of the transport clean and efficient."
Another traveller wrote: "The Wendy Wu - Gems of China tour, hosted by our tour manager Yang with excellent local guides (shout out to Alice, Felix, Kevin, Amanda, LJ, Steven) was the perfect blend of historical treasures, local cuisine and natural wonders that we hoped it would be. Fast paced but with travel time and a relaxing river cruise to breathe, we didn't want to leave."
Additional feedback included: "A tour of a lifetime with memories that are only starting to really emerge after a week at home. Not perfect but, then again, if you want an authentic experience how could it be." Overall, most customers expressed satisfaction with their experiences, with one noting: "I loved every moment of the tour. I ticked off a lot of places such as The Great Wall, Pandas cubs playing, Terracotta Warriors and the Glass Bridge and walkways at Zhangjiajie, and Yangtze river cruise. I did not expect such amazing shows and wonderful meals."
Solo travellers interested in exploring new destinations should consider reviewing the current sale on Wendy Wu Tours to take advantage of these significant savings.
