Fancy seeing more of the world, but don’t have someone to go with? You’re certainly not alone. But while travelling independently can be liberating, the prospect of dining alone, navigating unfamiliar destinations or simply not knowing anyone on arrival can make that first step feel daunting. That’s where Grand UK Holidays' dedicated Good Companions holidays come in.

For 2027, the escorted holiday specialist is expanding its popular Good Companions collection, created specifically for mature travellers who want to discover new destinations, enjoy their independence and meet like-minded people along the way – without the worry of having to organise everything themselves.

Solo travel, with good company. Good Companions offers a way to enjoy that independence while still having the reassurance and sociability of travelling as part of a friendly group. From the moment guests join their holiday, they can enjoy the company of fellow travellers, experienced Tour Managers and carefully planned itineraries, with plenty of opportunities to explore, relax and enjoy the destination at their own pace.

And that’s the real appeal of Good Companions – the freedom of travelling solo, without the feeling of being on your own. Whether it’s arriving as a solo traveller and making new friends along the way, travelling with a friend, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of a group of like-minded people, the emphasis is firmly on good holidays and good company.
