The Best Value for Solo Travelers

VBT makes travel easy, congenial, and affordable for all

Maybe you are a newly single woman venturing out solo for the first time in years. Perhaps you’re hitting the road with old college buddies, but still prefer your own room. Or maybe you’re simply pursuing a personal travel dream while your non-biking spouse stays back to hold down the fort. There are many reasons why you may not fit into the “double occupancy” category. But with VBT, you can expect the same exceptional value, quality, camaraderie, and care that we lavish on every traveler.

Affordable prices plus the lowest single supplements

Our low prices look even better when you consider the comprehensive list of features we include: our spectacular itineraries; our outstanding lodgings, meals, and activities; expert Trip Leaders; bikes and helmets and our reliable service and vehicle support. Add to that the fact that VBT has the lowest single supplements of any active travel company, and it’s clear why we are the best choice for solo travelers.

Save with our Share Request program

Here’s a win-win for solo travelers: If you request to share a room with another single traveler, we’ll work to match you with a same-sex roommate. If we find you a partner, you’ll pay no single supplement whatsoever. If we cannot find you a same-sex roommate, you’ll pay only 50% of the single supplement.

You’ll fit right in—and make new friends

You’ll never be alone with a group of 14-20 like-minded peers (14-24 on our Bike & Barge Vacations), and you’ll never feel like a fifth wheel because roughly 24% of VBT guests are solo travelers. In fact, our groups are just large enough to be diverse, but small enough to remain intimate and friendly. An exhilarating hike through the Gap of Dunloe … sharing cocktails and stories on the deck of your barge. It’s easy to bond with your travel mates when you’re sharing experiences like these. In fact, many of our solo travelers have met lifelong friends and future travel mates on VBT trips.

The perfect girl’s or guy’s getaway

Ladies, why not grab your girlfriends for a week of great exercise, discovery, scenery, cuisine, and pampering. Gents, kick your weekend warrior excursions up a notch by working out, winding down, and bonding with your buddies in some spectacular new destination. Between our simple rating system, choice of routes and vehicle support, any man or woman in reasonable shape can enjoy a VBT active vacation. And if you get a group of 8 or more together, you’ll enjoy discounted or FREE travel. Click here for more details.

Your Trip Leader takes excellent care of you

Aside from being excellent guides, our Trip Leaders are gracious hosts who will make you feel safe, comfortable and engaged. Upon arrival they’ll help break the ice by introducing you to other group members. Are you a wine enthusiast? A gardener? A collector of some sort? Let your Trip Leader know so he or she can connect you with fellow travelers who share your interests. Your Trip Leader will also manage all the logistics—from handling check-ins to making sure your bike is road-ready—so you can travel carefree.
