That's good to know that you had a good time on a travelsphere holiday.

I went to Paris with Travelsphere however i was the only single person on the trip. To be honest it was a bit off-putting and the Tour Guide said it was quite unusual, however there are a lot of tours that Travelsphere do that JY don't so it is always an option.

JY holidays are great, almost certain to make new friends and have a good time, everyone is in the same frame of mind.

Think the secret is to get JY to include more different holidays each year, if there is something you really fancy and many others think the same way JY have proved in the past they will listen.

I have just returned from a Travelsphere holiday to Mexico and there were 5 other single travellers - and I had the most fantastic holiday. Since the only meals included were breakfasts, I was greatly relieved to find out I wasn't the only single person. When we arrived at the first hotel we all agreed to meet up for dinner, and from then on, we always met up for lunch/dinner. Some of the couples would often join us, and at breakfast the whole group was incredibly social. I have also been to Namibia, New Zealand, Tanzania and South America with Travelsphere - and there have always been other single people/sociable couples that I have kept in contact with after the holiday. I admit that it is always worrying when you are sitting in the departure lounge and facing the possibility that you will be the only single traveller - but even if this turns into a reality (I have been with other tour companies to Vietnam and India where I was the only single person), once the reality sinks in, things are not so bad. The group tends to watch out for you - and dining alone and meeting the locals can be fun!

Perhaps we should try to maintain a thread for people that have booked holidays for 2013 with travelsphere - so that if there is a holiday that somebody desperately wants to do, they know that they won't be the only single traveller. I am definitely going to book the September departure to Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

If anyone is thinking of Mexico though - it is amazing!

I'm considering a Travelsphere holiday as a single person, so it's been really good to get everyone's feedback.

Thanks to you all for taking the time to post your experiences.

It's a great suggestion for people to add any 2013/14 booking/intentions to this thread, so that people can see what happening. I know it would be of help to me, and hopefully to others as well.

I travelled with Travelsphere for many years until Just You started. I was always made to feel part of the group. I was looked after as I was single. You will find its just like Just You holidays if you want company you can have it if you want quiet moments you can have them.

I went with Travelsphere last year on their ‘National Parks, Canyons and Little Big Horn’ (which by the way is a brilliant tour and available with JY) and there were about 8 single people. I have also been with another tour company and there were always plenty of single people but having said that, I never had a problem teaming up with married couples. Never dined alone!

In September I am with Travelsphere again with their San Francisco to Vancouver tour and that has at least 10 single people on it when I paid the balance due in June. Probably this tour has a higher single content as it is not available with JY.

Did my first JY holiday in May, Texas and New Orleans. Although in my opinion the content in this tour could be improved the fellow travellers I teamed up with were brilliant and made this tour one of my favourites.

If anyone has a query about a Travelsphere holiday this site will answer the question. See my thread on ‘Ask The Editor’ page 4 ‘Travelsphere Holiday Questions’

Hope this helps anyone who thinks they will be alone on a Travelsphere holiday, you will not be!!!
