Debbie O’Neill, Jules Verne managing director, said: “Our new Solo Collection, designed for independent travellers, showcases the very best of our small group escorted tours. At Jules Verne, we believe that travelling solo doesn’t mean going it alone.
“All of our tours offer travellers the reassurance of a like-minded group, expert local guides and professional support every step of the way.”
She added: “Driven by our ongoing commitment to creating extraordinary and unique experiences, we are thrilled to introduce three new itineraries to our portfolio of adventures tailored to solo travellers.
“From learning the tricks of fresh pasta making in Sicily to indulging in wine tasting sessions amongst the vineyards of Lake Garda or even venturing deep into the haunting tombs, caves and grottoes of Anghelu Ruju, our portfolio of solo adventures is packed with experiences that promise to inspire curious minds.”
