Travel solo, yet never alone

The Riviera holiday begins from your departure point

The Tour Manager will meet you at the airport (or Eurostar station), check in and travel there with you. Where this isn’t possible, a Riviera team member will greet you at the airport, help you check in and introduce you to other members in the group.

Less is more with small group sizes

More about our solo tours to Ecuador

While Ecuador is relatively small, it boasts some truly epic landscapes, from the majestic peaks of the Andes to the dense Amazon Rainforest and the untouched beaches of the Pacific coast. A holiday here is one for nature lovers with diverse ecosystems to uncover, including misty cloud forests, rocky volcanic highlands and lush tropical lowlands.

A melting pot of indigenous, European and African cultures contributes to the country's incredibly rich cultural heritage. It's home to several well-preserved colonial towns and cities, including Quinto, the capital city. With a UNESCO-listed historic centre showcasing colonial-era architecture, it's one of the best-preserved historic centres of Spanish America. 

Six hundred miles off the mainland lie the volcanic islands of the Galapagos. The entire archipelago, consisting of 19 islands and the surrounding marine reserve, is UNESCO-listed and has been called a unique 'living museum and showcase of evolution'. The islands had a profound impact on Charles Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection and today, it is still one of the world's premier destinations for wildlife viewing. Because of the remoteness of the islands, many species found in the Galapagos have not changed much since prehistoric times and its most famous residents include marine iguanas, albatrosses and giant tortoises.

Travelling solo can be a daunting experience - especially long-haul travel, but with our expertly crafted solo tour to Ecuador, you can leave all your worries behind. We offer unbeatable value that includes direct flights from a range of UK airports with no regional supplements, transfers, accommodation, insightful excursions, and checked luggage. To make your trip stress-free, our experienced Riviera Tour Manager will be with you throughout the tour, providing you with the company and support you need. We understand that travelling alone can be overwhelming, so our Tour Managers will meet you at your departure airport and fly with you. If that's not possible, another member of our team will be there to welcome you, so there'll always be a friendly face. Our solo tours also include welcome drinks or dinner, allowing you to connect with your fellow adventurers. With our solo tour, you'll never have to be alone unless you choose to be.
