Travelling the world may seem like a dream for your retirement years, but we’re here to tell you that the time is now. Young professionals and students are often so caught up in their busy lives that they forget to take time out to travel.
You may be paying off university or saving for a house and car. And you probably have tons going on every day, meaning you might not have much time to plan. So trips for young adults like you need to be affordable and convenient. This makes group tours a great option.
And whether you travel solo, or with your friends and colleagues, each option has its own benefits. Read on for some of the best vacations for singles in their 20s.
Why group tours make great vacations for singles
Group tours are great for those adventurous individuals who grow from the love of travel. These tours are suitable for solo travellers or for groups of singles. Given that you’ve chosen the tour, you’ve already found a common thread between yourself and the other travellers on the tour.
Planning trips for young adults usually means including destinations that boast the most picturesque landscapes or buildings, as well as having the most diverse range of tours.
The defining characteristic of group tours is that a small deposit is required upon booking, but the remainder of the fee is payable in instalments. So you won’t have to pay a hefty fee all at once!

Fortunately, group tours all form part of this experience-based economy. They save you the hassle and stress of having to plan transport, accommodation, and even some meals. They’re designed to be as convenient and fun as possible for all ages.
