There is no better way to get a sense of past times than by visiting the places where history happened. Our historical tours for UK solo travellers take you to the best museums, ancient sites and historic cities with expert guides to help you get the most out of your trip.

Escorted historical trips to Greece for singles immerse yourself in the times of Homer, Aristotle and Alexander the Great. Athens is home of the elegant Parthenon, perched proudly on the Acropolis. Greek island tours for singles often go to Rhodes, where the medieval old town is a joy to explore with the famous Street of the Knights and the excellent Archaeological Museum.

Solo history tours in Italy may take you to Sicily, once an important centre of the Greek world. The Archaeological Museum in Reggia Calabria houses the famous Riace bronzes, statues of Greek warriors dating back to the 5^th century BC. The island boasts many ancient towns, including hilltop Taormina with its Greco-Roman amphitheatre, still in use today. None, however, are quite so old as Syracuse, founded over 3,000 years ago.

On guided solo traveller holidays in Egypt, you feel a powerful connection to the past as you stand face to face with the Pyramids and Sphinx in Giza. Nile cruises often head to the ancient Nubian city of Aswan and the nearby Philae temple complex with the magnificent Temple of Isis dating to the 3^rd century BC. Even older are the Colossi of Memnon, stone statues some 18 metres high which guard the mortuary temple of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

We have historical tours in a wide variety of destinations and for all pockets, including small group and over 50s history tours. Browse them now to find your ideal historical journey.
