Solo travel can be lonely, and in places you don't know well, it requires constant awareness that wears on you.
TourRadar is a free platform for finding small-group guided tours that gives you the freedom of independent travel while keeping the safety and company of a group around you. I found it while researching our solo female travel safety app guide, and the pricing alone made it worth including.
TourRadar has tours at every price point, and the prices are significantly better than I expected. Choose from a 16-day Mongolia trip, a two-week Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand circuit for just over a thousand dollars, or even a cycling tour through France with a small group of strangers (who become friends). The variety is endless, and that way you're still on a solo adventure, but not alone.

Why solo female travelers specifically use TourRadar

The safety of traveling in numbers (or a group) is real and practical. Someone always knows where you are. Late-night arrivals in unfamiliar cities are less daunting when you're not doing them completely alone. And when you're in a destination where navigating independently as a solo woman takes extra mental energy, having a guide handle the logistics frees you up to actually enjoy the trip.
I've always wanted to do a cycling trip through Europe, but the idea of doing it alone as a woman felt like too much—a small TourRadar group would change that entirely. TourRadar offers a version of independent travel that's also social and safe.
Tours through TourRadar put you in a small group of people who chose the same destination you did—which is already one thing in common, and those connections tend to outlast the itinerary.
Make sure your phone keeps up with you
When you're on a multi-week tour, streaming maps, using translation apps, and sharing location with people back home adds up.

What tours on TourRadar actually cost
When I checked during testing, a 16-day Mongolia trip was listed at a price that put the flight in perspective as the expensive part. A Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand circuit for two weeks came in at just over a thousand dollars—remarkable when a single round-trip flight to Southeast Asia often costs close to that on its own. The packages generally include accommodation, guided activities, and transport between stops.
Day trips and shorter excursions start even lower, which makes TourRadar a useful resource even if you're not ready to commit to a full two-week package. You can build a trip that's half independent and half guided, using TourRadar for the moments where local expertise or safety in numbers makes a measurable difference.
