You can get the insider scoop on the destination and find new recommendations or hidden gems to add to your itinerary, all in the company of a friendly face. Emma Chalmers is a guide with tour company <vs-link type="external" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.marysmeanders.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mary’s Meanders</vs-link>, who specialise in Outlander experiences.</p> <p><em>“Since we started offering Outlander Tours, we have frequently hosted solo travellers. They have increased slightly since the pandemic but what is interesting is that they now say things like “I got tired of waiting for my friends/family members to commit and decided to just go for it”, “just because my husband doesn’t want to travel doesn’t mean I can’t”.</em> </p> <p>Emma also commented: <em>“We have a hand holding approach, we offer zoom calls in advance of the guest booking, we are happy to answer any type of question about little things that might be worrying them. It is all about building their confidence if needed.”</em> </p> </vs-article-section> </vs-article> </div> <div class="has-edit-button vs-module-wrapper__outer--light" id="section-2"> <vs-article title="The Best Solo Travel Destinations" anchor-link="the-best-solo-travel-destinations"> <template v-slot:vs-article-intro> </template> <vs-article-section sidebar-align="left"> <template v-slot:article-sidebar> <vs-article-sidebar sidebar-align="left"> <template v-slot:vs-article-sidebar-img> <vs-image-with-caption latitude longitude variant="fullwidth" toggle-button-text="Toggle caption information" :is-hero-image="false" :mobile-overlap="false" :is-video="false" video-id :small-play-button="false" no-cookies-message="Cookies are needed to see video content from this place.
