Come and walk with us. At Ramble Worldwide, solo travellers don't just fit in — they're at the heart of everything we do. Over half of every group we take out is made up of people travelling independently, which means from the moment you arrive, you're among your people.
Since 1946, we've been taking single travellers to some of the most extraordinary walking destinations on earth — from the fells of the Lake District to the trails of Peru. Our small groups, expert leaders and carefully crafted routes mean you'll never navigate the unknown alone.

Our guided walking holidays are small by design — an average of 14 people per group. That's enough to make the days sociable and the evenings convivial, but small enough that everyone matters. There are no lost faces at the back; our leaders know every member of the group.
Many of our solo travellers come back year after year — sometimes with people they met on a previous Ramble trip. What starts as a shared trail often becomes a lasting friendship. It's one of the things we're proudest of.
Couples, groups of friends and single travellers all travel together on our holidays, united by a love of walking and a curiosity about the world. You'll find the conversation flows as easily as the paths.
We're not just another tour operator. Ramble Worldwide is a Which? Recommended Provider for Walking Tours — recognised for the second consecutive year — and a Feefo Platinum Trusted Service provider for the third year running. Our 10 Years of Excellence Award from Feefo reflects what our walkers already know: we do this exceptionally well.
Our 250+ walk leaders are the soul of every holiday. Carefully selected, extensively trained and deeply passionate about the places they take you, they bring knowledge of local history, wildlife, culture and terrain that you simply can't get from a guidebook. They're not just leading the walk — they're sharing it with you.
Every holiday is 100% financially protected through ATOL, ABTA and AITO, so you can book with complete peace of mind.
Across the UK
Join us in the Lake District, where our own Hassness Country House sits at the foot of some of England's finest fells. Walk the Jurassic Coast, discover the drama of the Scottish Highlands, wander the ancient tracks of Wales or explore the wild beauty of the Gower Peninsula. Extraordinary walking, closer to home.
Across Europe
Let us take you through the Cinque Terre's clifftop paths, across the alpine meadows of Austria and Switzerland, along the pilgrimage routes of Spain, or through the sun-drenched hills of Greece and Portugal. Europe's walking trails are endlessly varied — and we know the best of them.
Worldwide Adventures
Come with us to the ancient trails of Peru, the rainforests of Costa Rica, the dramatic landscapes of Morocco, or the remote beauty of Japan. Our worldwide journeys offer the freedom of solo travel with the reassurance of travelling in expert hands.
Whether you're happiest on a gentle coastal path or pushing yourself on a long mountain day, we have a holiday to match. Our Ramble Grade system makes it straightforward to find the right fit:
Many of our holidays also offer two walk options each day — an easier and a harder route — so you always walk at the pace that's right for you.
Sole use rooms
Prefer your own space? You can book a sole use room on most of our holidays — either a single room or a double for sole occupancy. Where a supplement applies, we always negotiate to keep it as low as possible.
No single supplement holidays
We offer a selection of holidays with no single room supplement at all — though these rooms are limited and go quickly. Book early to secure yours. If we're unable to arrange room sharing by the balance due date, you'll have the option to take a sole use room at full price or receive a complete refund.
Last-minute availability
Looking to get away soon? Our search tool makes it easy to find holidays with single-room availability in the coming weeks — both in the UK and abroad. A great getaway is often closer than you think.
