Frequently asked questions

Your search for ""

When is the best time to book a last minute travel deal?

Depends if you’re skiing, sunning or both. We have over 300 trips, heading off to 6+ continents with start dates throughout the year. Want our advice? Do your research. Find out when Paris is quietest, or when the Masai Mara lions are most active. Then, when you have a place and a season in mind, check our site regularly for red hot last-minute travel deals. Don’t miss our Cyber Sale in late November / early December, and of course our January sale too.

How do I get the best last minute travel deal?

Look, we can vouch for all of our trips (obvs) but there’s a lot of them, all catering for different folks and their strokes. Browse our site to find the trip(s) that suit you best. Maybe make a lil list, and then check regularly for red hot last-dash deals. Don’t miss our Cyber Sale in late November / early December, and of course our January sale too.

Are flights included?

Sadly, flights to/from your start point aren’t included with the cost of your Contiki trip, and you will have to make your own way there and back. This is because travellers join us from all over the world.

Your Contiki trip DOES include accommodation, in-country transport and an expert Trip Manager to be your friend, guide and walking encyclopaedia every step of the way. Most trips include breakfasts, plus some other meals and lots of included experiences – although this varies from trip to trip.

Travel Smarter! Sign up for our free newsletter.

Sometimes you just need to getaway. If your wanderlust gets the best of you and the traveler inside is itching to hit the road, there are plenty of websites and apps out there to help—fast. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a full-blown vacation, these sites can help you find great last minute travel deals.

Best Websites for Last Minute Flights

Finding flights can be a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be! There are loads of ways to find cheap flights from your favorite airline, even if you are going away in the near future.

1. Google Flights

One fun way to find last minute flights is to plug your departure city and travel dates into Google Flights , leaving your destination blank. The resulting map shows you the lowest available prices to cities all over the world, letting you find deals in places you might not have ever thought to go.

Kayak’s Explore feature is a similar tool. You can enter exact travel dates or a certain month, then see which fares are available from your home gateway. 

3. Secret Flying

You can get alerts when fares go down when you sign up at Secret Flying , or, use their search tool to find great last minute deals on flights. Simply input your departure city, keep the arrival as “anywhere” and put the current month as the time you are looking to fly. Perfect for when you just want to get away, but you don’t care where to. Secret Flying also finds “mistake” fares, so be sure to sign up to get notifications so you can book them before they are gone! 

The 12 Best Flight Search Sites for Booking Cheap Airfare

Where to Find Last Minute Hotel Deals

You’d think that every hotel would have cheap rooms last minute, but that isn’t always the case. These sites will help you find a room that won’t break the bank with a spur of the moment trip! 

1. Hotel Tonight

A perennial favorite app among SmarterTravel editors, HotelTonight has been finding travelers’ deep hotel discounts since 2010. The app allows travelers to book same-day accommodations across the globe at discounts of up to 50 percent. If you don’t want to leave things until the literal last minute, though, the app also lets you book dates a little further out. The well-designed booking engine serves up clever recommendations and insider info—plus those remarkable markdowns. Keep an eye out for the Daily Drop, the biggest discount of the day (which you only have 15 minutes to book).

The site is known for discounted restaurant meals, fitness classes, and beauty services also has a last minute deals section that typically includes discounted hotel and resort stays. On the day I checked, options ranged from a $69 hotel near Niagara Falls to a four-star Times Square hotel for $77 a night.

3. Trip.com

Trip.com is your basic hotel booking site, and is great for finding a last minute deal. While they feature hotels all around the world, it’s particularly great for deals on hotels in Asia, so when you grab an amazing last minute flight to somewhere in Asia, head to trip.com to book your hotel! 

4. Last Minute Travel

As its name suggests, Last Minute Travel is dedicated solely to last minute travel deals. This wide-ranging site offers bargains on hotels, car rentals, cruises, transfers, and activities. Their hotel deals are amazing.  In a sample search, I found top-rated hotels in Paris from just $54 per night for a trip about two weeks out. The site has a Last Minute Travel Club for deeper discounts and rewards points to use toward free hotel stays. Membership is $50 per year.

The 15 Best Hotel Booking Sites

Amazing Last Minute Vacation Packages

Sometimes, booking a vacation package is the cheapest way to go for last minute travel. These sites are the best for one-stop shopping.

1. Airfarewatchdog

SmarterTravel’s sister site Airfarewatchdog has a nifty Weekender tool that lets you find a flight/hotel vacation package for upcoming weekends, just click the link and let the site do the rest of the work. 

2. CheapCaribbean.com

If you have a specific destination in mind, your best bet is often to focus on a website that deals with one region specifically. CheapCaribbean.com has last minute deals , many of them short-lived flash sales. Though you can’t hem and haw about whether or not to go, you’ll often have plenty of time to plan. For example, a four-night air/hotel package to the Dominican Republic might start at $509 per person for travel four to six months from now—but it must be booked in the next four days.

3. FunJet Vacations 

Book your flight and hotel together at FunJet Vacations . If you have a place in mind, enter the dates you want to go and the destination, and it will give you the best flight and hotel deals available. Their sales are great if you are open to where you want to go, and often have dates for travel within the month. 

The 14 Best Vacation Rental Sites for Travelers

Affordable Last Minute All-Inclusive Deals

A vacation where everything is paid for in advance may seem a luxury to some people, but it is actually quite affordable. These sites will help you find the best all-inclusive deals, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the sun! 

1. Sandals Resorts

Sandals resorts has great deals for last minute travel. You often can get one night free, and when you start the booking process, have the option of booking your flight as well. You may even find availability for travel within the week. 

2. Club Med

When it comes to all-inclusive, Club Med usually comes to mind. Like Sandals, they often have fantastic last minute deals for when you are looking to book without much time to plan. Club Med has locations all over the world, including Mexico, Canada and all over the Caribbean – perfect for a cheap getaway.

3. Travelzoo

This venerable travel site offers last minute deals on just about everything, but their all-inclusive search is one of the best as far as the bigger sites go. When I searched, I found a package for an all-inclusive stay in Cabo, including airfare, for $739, for travel next week. 

Ditch the Hotel: 10 Cheaper Ways to Save

How to Find Great Deals on Last Minute Tours

If you prefer having an itinerary made for you, and, let’s face it, if you are taking a last minute trip, it might be nice to not have to plan the entire trip, there are some great sites to book a last minute tour on. 

1. TourRadar

Book a tour of your destination as well as accommodations through TourRadar . There are several ways to search, including destination, adventure styles (food & culinary, active adventure, health & wellness, etc.), and date. Search for tours for travel in the next two weeks, or multiple months in advance. 

2. G Adventures

From Iceland to Turkey, G Adventures has tours to inspire and excite. They have available dates for travel throughout the year, but most are available to book for tours within a week or two. They have themed tours like the Northern Lights in Iceland, and Hiking the Azores—whatever, wherever you want to go. I found a four-day hiking tour of the Inca Trail in Peru for $881 departing within the week.

3. Contiki 

Contiki has a wide variety of tours to choose from, and the site has a handy last minute trips option to find a tour when you need one. When I searched, there was an Egypt and the Nile tour for $1,772, starting in just four days from when I searched! Most tours include accommodation, meals, transportation, admission to sites, and tour guides. 

The 10 Best Group Travel Tour Companies

Popular Getaway Deal Destinations

You may think it is hard to find deals to some of the top destinations, but as we have been mentioning, there are several options out there, no matter where you are going. Here are some sites that will help you plan your next getaway to some of the top spots.

Europe Deals

Lastminute.com .

Netherlands-based LastMinute.com also covers a range of last minute trip options, including flights, hotels, Eurostar train tickets, vacation packages, car rentals, theater tickets, and experiences. A Paris search turned up several highly-rated hotel options at $75-$85 per night at press time. This site also allows you to filter by hotels that offer free cancellation, a great perk if your travel plans change last minute. LastMinute.com also has “top-secret hotels” available for opaque booking, though in my Paris search they were actually a bit more expensive than the named hotels in my results.

Caribbean Vacations

While we love Sandals, we also love their sister company, Beaches . Beaches features two resorts in Jamaica and one in Turks and Caicos. Their last minute travel deals are similar to Sandals, where you can get one free night, and are able to book with just a couple of days in advance. 

Trips to New York

Chances are, if you are heading to NYC, you are going to want to see a Broadway show. Your best option for great last minute seats is TKTS . Download the app for your phone to see that days discounted tickets, and you can decide whether it is worth making the trek to the booth. Beats running out early in the morning to wait in line, and you are sure to get some deeply discounted tickets. 

The Hotel Room Workout Anyone Can Do

Best Last Minute Travel Apps for Your Phone

Most people tend to do everything on their phones, from booking restaurants, reading the news, and of course, booking travel. These apps are our favorites for booking last minute travel.

Elude is more than an app, it is an experience for the well-seasoned traveler. Not only does it let you search trips from your departure city to anywhere in the world, it gets to know you so you’ll find out about the best deals catered to your interests. Keep tabs on your trips, where you’ve been and what you’ve done. Their search feature allows you to put what your budget is, and what dates you want to travel, then showing you details for trips that fall under your criteria. When I searched, I found a trip to Prague leaving from New York City in two weeks for $1374 including airfare and hotel. 

With Snaptravel , you can search for hotels conveniently on your phone. Once you sign up, you will receive exclusive deals over your message service of choice (SMS, Facebook Messenger, iMessage etc..). You can also do a simple search with the days you want to go, and where you want to go. You can filter by price, hotel stars, amenities and more. The perfect app for booking that last minute hotel anywhere in the world. 

Heading to the Airport? Use This Preflight Checklist

These days, vacation rentals are all the rage, and finding a last minute travel deal for accommodations can be tricky if you don’t want to break the bank. That’s where apps like VRBO come in. You can search rooms, apartments and houses available to rent wherever you are going. Often, owners who have had a cancellation or just want the place booked will discount the price last minute as to not totally lose out on making any money. You might just find a unique stay, like a treehouse or secluded cabin. 

Travelocity

Everything is better with time, and Travelocity is not excluded. Founded in 1996, they have adapted to the ever-changing tech world, and their app shows they are good at what they do. Search for hotels, vacation packages, flights—you name it—and all of your bookings will stay on the app for easy access. Looking for the perfect trip to Las Vegas last minute? Travelocity has your back.  When I searched for a trip to Vegas in two weeks, I found hotel and airfare for under $1,000 for a five night stay.

Discover some of the top last-minute vacation deals in 2024

Whether planning a spontaneous romantic break for 2 or an impromptu trip with the whole family, Expedia helps you effortlessly find last-minute vacation deals. Explore a wide selection of last-minute vacation packages and book your flights, accommodation, car rental, and activities in a few swift clicks. Discover cheap last-minute vacations in top destinations across the USA , from California to Florida , New York , Las Vegas , and more. Claim your spot in the sun with last-minute all-inclusive vacation deals on sun-soaked destinations like Mexico and Hawaii . Head over to Europe for a spot of tanning on the beach in Spain and Italy or get to know some of the world’s best ski domains in the Alps . 

Making last-minute vacation plans doesn’t need to be expensive. Expedia can help you find fantastic deals if you plan around 6 weeks ahead of departure and are flexible with your travel dates. You may even find incredible deals on last-minute vacations up to 1 week before you plan to travel if you are flexible with your destination. You may sometimes find large discounts on luxury vacation packages, from Caribbean cruises to beachfront villas, particularly when the destination you are searching for is out of season. From budget-friendly breaks to vacations that are all about pure indulgence, find it all and then some more with Expedia. 

Top destinations for last-minute vacations 

From the incredibly diverse landscapes and travel experiences of Europe to big city trips in New York and well-deserved breathers in sunny Florida, discover some of the top last-minute vacation packages with Expedia. 

Live the high life in Europe 

Head across the Atlantic to explore Europe, a destination that offers everything from the sun-kissed beaches of Spain and Croatia to peaceful Italian villages alive with local traditions and grand old cities like Paris, London , and Rome , where centuries of history are waiting to be uncovered. June to August is peak travel season across most of Europe, but you can often find cheap last-minute vacation packages in the months that bookend peak season. 

Experience the New York classics 

With its towering skyscrapers, world-famous monuments, and vibrant local culture, New York is an iconic destination like few others. Catch a hit Broadway musical, lose yourself among the crowds of Times Square, stroll through leafy Central Park, and grab a deliciously cheesy slice of New York pizza along the way. Christmas in New York is a particularly magical experience, with Christmas markets galore and streets shining bright with lights. 

Soak up the Florida sun 

Fantastic weather, beautiful beaches stretching as far as your eye can see, and world-class amusement parks: it must be Florida. The Sunshine State is a classic destination for last-minute beach vacations thanks to its easy-going atmosphere, fantastic accommodation options, and wide range of activities. A classic destination for families, wildlife enthusiasts, and couples who prefer to work on their tan with a cocktail at hand. 

Live out your California dream 

It is incredibly hard to run out of ideas in California. The Golden State is home to Los Angeles , San Francisco , Yosemite National Park , Lake Tahoe , and an incredibly vast array of seaside towns, beaches, and natural beauty. Enjoy a mix of classic attractions like a visit to Alcatraz Island or Disneyland and pair them up with off-the-beaten-path adventures such as wine tasting in Sonoma County or hikes on the Lost Coast. 

Top cheap last-minute vacation destinations 

You don’t always need to break the bank when booking last-minute vacations. If you are flexible with your travel dates and open to discovering new destinations, you can often find cheap travel deals. Mexico is a favorite for fans of cheap travel, and you can find plenty of hidden homegrown gems in the US, from quaint mountain towns to high-rolling entertainment meccas such as Las Vegas. 

Partake in the glitz of Las Vegas 

Las Vegas is famous the world over for dishing out all the fun, luxury, and extravagance that you can handle and then some more for good measure. Vegas caters to a wide range of crowds, from solo travelers on a party weekend packed with trips to clubs and casinos to subdued and budget-friendly family vacations, where enjoying good food and relaxing by the pool of your hotel are your top priorities. And with Death Valley National Park and the Grand Canyon just a short drive away, adventure seekers will also have plenty on their plates. 

Roam free across the USA 

The USA offers a wonderful range of last-minute vacations for travelers on a budget. Discover a new part of the country on a city break to Detroit , Phoenix , or Houston . Strap on your hiking boots and head off on an adventure in Yellowstone or Glacier National Park, or simply rent a car with Expedia and embark on the road trip of a lifetime as you drive the historic Route 66 that takes you all the way from Los Angeles to Chicago. 

Enjoy the unique charm of Mexico 

From the resorts of Cancun to the beachside villas of Tulum , Mexico is a favorite for travelers chasing budget-friendly sun, fun, and great food. Explore last-minute vacation packages in some of Mexico’s most famous coastal gems, from Playa del Carmen to Acapulco . Spice up your trip with a stay in Mexico City , one of the world’s most exciting capitals, where culture, history, authentic cuisine, and entertainment converge. 

Top last-minute all-inclusive destinations 

Not only are last-minute all-inclusive vacation deals convenient, but they can also be a great way to save money if you are open to traveling to destinations outside of the busier tourist seasons. Hawaii and the Caribbean are 2 incredible island getaways that continue to appeal to the distinguished traveler, while San Diego offers a different but just as wonderful a type of coastal haven experience.  

Get a taste of the good life in Hawaii 

With its pristine beaches, stunning tropical landscapes, and relaxed pace of life, the volcanic archipelago of Hawaii offers a unique island experience on US soil. Water sports and outdoor adventures are firm favorites on the island. Golfing is also popular, with more than 70 golf courses spread across the territory. Make the most of deals on last-minute all-inclusive vacations on seafront resorts for an unforgettable experience. 

Play it cool in the Caribbean 

From Aruba to Saint Martin , Jamaica , and Antigua , the Caribbean boasts some of the world’s most gorgeous beaches and resorts, where all-inclusive is typically the name of the game. Spend your days relaxing in style on the beach or sipping on cocktails from the fabulous vantage point of your hotel’s swim-up bar, before enjoying exciting evenings filled with delicious local cuisine and traditional entertainment. 

Get in on the fun in San Diego 

With miles of immaculate beaches, fantastic weather, and a wide range of family-friendly attractions, San Diego is deserving of its nickname of America’s Finest City. Explore last-minute all-inclusive vacation deals on the fantastic resorts and boutique hotels that line the coastline of the city and make the most of thrilling activities as diverse as whale watching in the Pacific Ocean, craft beer tasting in the hip bars of North Park, or visiting the world-famous Legoland . 

Everything you need to know about last-minute vacations 

When is it best to book last-minute vacations.

Prices for last-minute vacation packages are usually at their lowest between 8 and 4 weeks before you plan to travel. You may find extra discounts 1 or 2 weeks before your travel dates when hotels, airlines, and car rental companies are trying to book their remaining seats, rooms, or cars.

Is it cheaper to book last-minute vacations?

Being flexible with your dates and destination is often the key to finding great last-minute vacation deals. But even though prices may become lower in the weeks preceding your departure, it is usually cheaper to book your travel in advance, particularly if you are traveling outside of the US. And regardless of the time of the year, Expedia is your 1-stop shop for booking your entire vacation, from hotels to flights, car rental, activities, and more.

How can I find some of the best last-minute vacation deals?

Expedia has one of the widest selections of last-minute vacation deals at some of the best prices on the market. Use the filters to select your preferences and find the last-minute vacation packages that are right for you. Filter your search results according to price, hotel class, guest ratings, and more. For a vacation where convenience is your priority, search for properties that offer deals on last-minute all-inclusive vacations. Bundle your accommodation with flights, car rental, and more, and all you need to do when you arrive at the airport is sit back, relax, and let the fun begin.

What are some of the best destinations for last-minute vacations in the US?

Some of the best destinations for last-minute vacations in the US include the neon-lit strip of Las Vegas, the pristine beaches of San Diego, and the lively vacation hotspot of Florida with its world-famous amusement parks. And if you’re planning a romantic trip for 2, there aren’t many destinations that can beat New York.

What are some great destinations for last-minute weekend breaks?

A city trip is a fantastic option when you just have a weekend to spare. California is home to fantastic cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. San Francisco features stunning vistas, world-class museums, and iconic streets. In LA, it’s all about having fun on the beach during the day before hitting up a wide range of entertainment options in the evening, while hopefully rubbing shoulders with a famous actor or two. Expedia helps you find last-minute vacation packages for some of the most exciting cities in the US and around the world.

What are some of the best destinations for a last-minute all-inclusive vacation?

Nothing says all-inclusive vacation more than a luxury resort on a tropical island like Hawaii or one of the many Caribbean islands. Make the most of white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and fantastic weather, and let Expedia help you iron out the details when booking your upcoming last-minute beach vacation.

Where should I go for cheap last-minute vacations?

Mexico is home to incredible seaside resorts that are as stunning as they are friendly on your wallet. Explore a wide selection of cheap last-minute vacations in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Puerto Vallarta and prepare yourself for a fun and lively vacation where delicious food, stunning beaches, and vibrant local culture are the stars of the show. 

Can I book last-minute vacation packages with free cancellation and/or flexible dates?

You can find last-minute vacation packages that are covered by a free cancellation policy or that allow you to rebook your travel dates by adjusting your search filters to show accommodation and car rental where cancellations are permitted. When booking vacation packages that include flights, please make sure to check the cancellation policy of your airline before you book

Why should I book my last-minute vacation packages with Expedia?

Expedia is your 1-stop-shop for booking all the ingredients that make up your last-minute vacation package, from flights to accommodation, car rental, activities, and more. By booking all the elements of your vacation together, not only do you enjoy Expedia’s competitive prices, but you also unlock extra savings on the total cost of your vacation.

Guest Feedback

I would definitely do another Odysseys tour – great company, great value.

We continue to be amazed at the value and quality of these trips.

Love your company and feel like we get excellent value.

The small group (20) was perfect.

Love small group tours.  Odysseys does it right!

I loved the small group...I felt safe and well cared for.

Odysseys is our #1 choice for group travel.

It was a truly first-rate experience in every way.

Each of our four tours with you has been outstanding!

The Odysseys View

Paris, France – it’s the number-one most visited city in the world, and considering its world-renowned museums, gastronomy, fashion and design, shopping, and entertainment, it’s easy to see why. We’ve curated a guide with our expert advice on how to get the most out of your trip to Paris. Click here for more information on the city’s best neighborhoods, cuisines, activities, attractions, and more.

FAQs and benefits of traveling solo with a group

Solo travel can offer you a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, gain independence, and have an adventure. Plus, going on a guided tour as a solo traveler comes with great perks—including, private rooms in handpicked hotels, local experts and a Tour Director to handle all the details, and the company of equally curious travelers to share your journey. Here are a few other compelling reasons to go solo:

• Take the guesswork out of exploring someplace new.  Need tickets to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna? Want to dine like a true Italian at a local’s home in Rome? Wondering how to hire a boat to float down the Nile River? Our experts will help you securely and easily navigate a destination you’ve only dreamed about exploring.
• No need to find a travel partner.  Perhaps the biggest reason people  travel solo  is not having someone with matching travel interests. Traveling solo with single travel groups opens up a whole new world of possibilities. You get to go where you want, when you want, chasing your dreams without waiting for someone to come along for the ride.
• Enjoy adventures beyond your comfort zone.  Traveling solo isn’t just exhilarating, but easy on one of our  small-group adventure trips . You’ll find yourself learning and trying new things, from what you do (hands-on activities) to where you’ll go (roads less traveled) to how you'll get around (think outside the bus). All you need to get started is an open mind, a good pair of walking shoes, and a passion for taking the side streets.

Discover more reasons why people choose solo travel  →

Thanks to its mix of culture, history, natural landscapes, and centuries-old culinary traditions, Europe is an ideal destination for travelers who book solo vacation packages. Individual countries and regions of Europe also make great choices when you go solo. For the best solo travel experiences, we recommend the following:

• Greece .  Explore the best of the Greek Islands alongside fellow solo travelers as you hop from Athens to Crete and over to Santorini.
• Portugal .  Sampling Portugal’s signature pastel de nata, a flaky and flavorful custard tart, is much more fun when you have new friends to share in the excitement of taking that first bite.
• Peru .  Make your way from cosmopolitan Lima to historic Cuzco to the sweeping Sacred Valley—and mystical Machu Picchu—alongside fellow solo travelers.
• Central Europe .  Whether you’re excited to see Bavarian castles or sample Swiss chocolate, there’s no better way to tour Switzerland, Germany, and Austria than with like-minded travelers.
• Egypt .  With fellow solo travelers by your side, you’ll decipher hieroglyphics at towering temples, stand in the shadows of the Pyramids of Giza, and take to the Nile by boat.
• Ireland .  Green landscapes and frothy Guinness await solo travelers on the Emerald Isle, where making new friends comes naturally.
• Thailand .  Visit an elephant sanctuary and hop between Thailand’s temples, markets, and islands with fellow solo travelers.
• United States .  You don’t need to go international to go solo. America’s majestic  national parks  are a great choice for solo travel tours.
• Japan .  Be dazzled by Japan’s natural beauty, rich history, and distinctive cuisine—and bond with your fellow solo travelers over hands-on activities, such as cooking classes.
• Kenya .  Majestic wildlife, vibrant culture, and warm locals make for the ultimate mix when you join fellow solo travelers on an epic journey across Kenya.
• Spain .  Spain charms from Catalonia to the Costa del Sol with its mix of cosmopolitan, coastal, and cultural treasures on solo travel tours.
• Italy .  Travel solo (but never alone!) as you eat your way through Italy with fellow foodies, while taking in the classic sights and delicious cuisine.

Consider your interests, budget, and comfort level in a foreign environment. Depending on factors such as language barriers and cultural differences, some destinations may be better suited for solo trip packages than others. Research your options and read reviews from other solo travelers.

Embrace new experiences, be open to meeting new people, and step outside your comfort zone. Take time to reflect on your journey and enjoy the freedom that comes with traveling solo. Remember to take plenty of photos and keep a journal to capture your memories. And take advantage of the Tour Director and local guides who’ll accompany you during your travels. They can recommend places to eat, sights to not miss, and things to do in your free time on tour.

Explore our favorite free-time activities for solo travelers  →

Yes, if you’re looking to get out of your comfort zone. There’s free time to explore on your own, so you can be as social as you want. Traveling solo within a group can be a great way to break out of your personal space and meet others who share your passion for exploration. And there’s no easier way to find a new friend than on tour!

Tips for breaking the ice with fellow travelers on a solo tour  →

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and connect with fellow travelers; they’re going solo, just like you! Here are a few tips and tools to help you feel confident when you travel solo:

• Check out our Go Ahead Difference page.  You’ll discover all the perks of traveling with us, including unrivaled safety and support. Learn more about our  Go Ahead Difference .
• Involve your friends back home.  Let all your friends know about your travel plans and get their tips and tricks. Have them follow you along on your journey.
• Download our free mobile app . It puts everything you might need for your trip on your phone on one easy-to-navigate platform. Our  app  has not only the itinerary but also the addresses and contact details you need for your trip. Plus, we even include a list of your  fellow travelers  there. That way, you can connect with them before you leave for the tour and start building friendships you’ll strengthen when you’re finally on the road.
• Join our Facebook page.  You’ll find lots of helpful info on our private  Solo Travelers Facebook page , including answers to frequently asked questions.

Eight reasons to go guided as a female solo traveler  →

The first thing to know is that even though you’ll be traveling solo, you won’t be traveling alone. You’re about to go on a trip with 14–20 people who will be solo, just like you. Plus, you’ll have your expert Tour Director to guide you along the journey. Solo travel is one of the most exciting ways to see the world. When you travel with one of our single travel groups, you may not be with a friend you already know, but you’ll join equally curious travel lovers on the adventure of a lifetime. More important things to know before you go:

• Your Tour Director will meet you at the airport when you arrive in your destination
• We curate these tours with solo travel in mind
• Experiences are made for solo travelers to come together as a group
• You’ll make friends whom you could travel with in the future

We specially design our Solo Tours for solo travelers. When you join one of our solo travel groups, you’ll get your own included, private hotel room. Each day, you’ll be able to explore your destination alongside your tourmates, who are solo travelers, too. And you’ll have free time to explore your own interests at your own pace.

You’ll never be alone when you book one of our solo travel packages, even though you’re traveling solo. Our worldwide presence gives solo travelers the safety and security to discover the world with confidence. Here are just a few reasons to travel on our solo guided tours:

• Security of the EF global network
• Assistance from our On-Tour Support Team (they’re on-call 24/7)
• Getting the local’s perspective from your Tour Director and other guides
• Meeting equally curious travelers
• Enjoying the perfect balance of sightseeing tours and time to explore each locale at your leisure

Paris olympics 2024: last-minute hotel availability guide.

Paris, France Detail of the facade of the town hall of Paris, France, decorated for the Olympic and ... [+] Paralympic Games.

If you haven’t booked a hotel for the Paris Olympics which runs 26 July to 11 August 2024, there are quite a few budget-friendly options still available and there are still tickets to many of the events. Tim Hentschel, CEO of HotelPlanner , a leading travel-technology company says that inflated Paris prices (exceeding €700 /USD 750), have been created by organizers who’ve “block[ed] rooms for athletes, officials, and sponsors well in advance, limiting public availability. Hotel revenue management systems, relying on algorithms to predict demand and adjust prices, interpret this limited inventory as highly desirable and inflate rates. This creates a vicious cycle. High prices deter potential attendees, reducing overall demand. Hotels then risk having empty rooms despite inflated prices, unable to attract last-minute guests.” This appears to be the current situation in Paris as the event opens. So this could be good news for anyone wanting to book a last-minute trip to Paris.
