25F solo traveller looking for group tour recommendations from India — Central Asia and Europe 🌍
Hi everyone! I’m 25F and planning to do some solo travel, but I’d really like to join **small/group tours where most people are also travelling solo**, rather than travelling completely on my own. I’m particularly interested in **Central Asia and Europe**. For Central Asia, I’m considering places like: Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Possibly a combination of countries For Europe, I’m pretty open — Italy, Greece, Croatia, Balkans, Central Europe, etc. I’d love recommendations for **reliable group tour companies** where people in their 20s/30s actually join solo and it’s easy to meet people. Some things that are important to me: Ideally **20s/30s age group** Small or medium-sized groups Good mix of sightseeing, culture, nature and socialising Not *too* rushed from city to city Preferably a good mix of women/solo travellers Safe and comfortable for a solo female traveller I’m okay with sharing accommodation if that’s the normal setup I’m more interested in making friends and having experiences than doing a luxury/private tour I’ve been looking at **G Adventures, Intrepid, Contiki, On The Go**, and some local Central Asian operators, but I’m finding it hard to decide. **If you’ve personally done a group trip with any of these (or another company), I’d really appreciate hearing:** Which company/trip did you do? What was the average age of the group? How many people were in the group? Were there many solo travellers? How was it as a solo woman? Would you book the same company again? Especially interested in **Central Asia group tours**, since that seems a little harder to find than Europe. Thanks! 😊 #travel source
