Go Solo with Road Scholar

A smiling woman raises her arms in a sunny city square in Buenos Aires, with historic European-style buildings and people in the background.

If you’re a solo traveler, you’ve come to the right place. This special collection of learning adventures is designed for people traveling on their own—not with a companion or group—so you’ll arrive on your own and be part of a community of fellow solo travelers who quickly become friends through shared experiences.

Many of the programs below are dedicated to solo travelers, while others have specific dates for solos. To find the special solo-only dates, select the “Dates and Prices” menu on each program page. Then, toggle to the “Single” option and look for the dates that have the “Solo Travelers Only” label. If you’re having trouble finding the solo-only dates, feel free to give us a call and we can help you.
