Group tours, festival trips, contiki-style adventures, and tailored solo escapes — for travellers who want company without the compromise. Planned by Australia's trusted travel experts since 1992.
Solo and 18–35 travel covers a huge range — from Contiki-style Europe tours and festival trips, to small-group adventures in Vietnam or Egypt, to fully independent solo escapes. The right choice depends on what kind of pace you want, who you want to meet, and how much of the trip you want planned for you.
We work with the major 18–35 operators — Contiki, Topdeck, INTRO Travel, G Adventures, iFlyGo and others — and know the real differences between them. Which run busier party trips and which lean more cultural. Which include flights and which don't. Which let you upgrade to a private room and which don't.
For solo travellers who want to go independent, we plan trips around hostels-to-hotels accommodation, group day-tours, and the kind of destinations that are safe and easy to navigate alone — Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Greece, Portugal, Croatia. We also handle festival trips: Oktoberfest, Tomorrowland, La Tomatina, Pamplona, Holi.
Three steps and we'll handle everything — from operator selection to room-sharing arrangements to festival add-ons.
Group tour or independent? Party-pace or cultural? Festival add-on? Single room or twin-share? Your budget and the time of year you can travel.
Contiki, Topdeck, Busabout, INTRO, G Adventures, iFlyGo — we know the real differences. We'll shortlist options that suit your pace and your wallet, with flights from Australia included.

"Did the European Highlights Contiki at 24. Roxan helped me pick the right tour for the pace I wanted, sorted flights, and even helped with travel insurance. Felt looked after the whole way."
"Booked Oktoberfest as a group of 6 mates. Munich accommodation, beer tent bookings and flights all sorted. Best trip of my life. Already planning next year."
"Travelled solo through Vietnam on a small-group tour. Was nervous about going on my own — Leigh-Ann picked an operator with a great group dynamic. Came home with new friends from all over the world."
Quick answers to the questions Aussie solo and young travellers ask most before booking their next adventure.
Popular solo destinations for Aussies include Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Europe (Greek Islands, Italy, Croatia), and group tour favourites like Egypt and South America. Most solo travellers join small group tours for company, while still having time to themselves.
18–35 tours are designed for young, social travellers. Think shared accommodation, faster pace, optional adventure activities, and a young group atmosphere. Operators like Contiki, Topdeck, INTRO Travel, and our partner iFlyGo all run trips through Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Yes — when planned well. Group tours and small-group adventures are particularly safe options because you have a tour leader and a group from day one. We help you choose destinations and operators with strong safety reputations, and arrange comprehensive travel insurance.
Most 18–35 group tours range from $3,500–$8,000 per person including flights. A 2-week European tour averages around $4,500–$6,000 per person. Solo travel without a group can be cheaper or much more, depending on style.
Most 18–35 tours offer twin-share by default (matched with another solo traveller of the same gender), or you can pay a single supplement for your own room. We'll explain the options upfront so there are no surprises.
Yes — festival travel is a huge part of 18–35 trips. We can build trips around major events including Oktoberfest, Tomorrowland, La Tomatina, Pamplona Running of the Bulls, Holi in India, and more. Book early — these tours sell out fast.
