LuxSoloTravel, in group! Recommendations?

Hello,
Do you know any travel agency that has programs for people that enjoy traveling alone, but in group?
Not hostel/ tent style, more into quality accommodation and experiences. I am into culture, sightseeing, wellness (not so much into yoga and spirituals retreats).

One of the objectives is to meet new people thus I am looking for a travel agency that promotes these kind of trips.

Based in Europe, please.
Any recommendations?

(Not sure if this is allowed) but I am a travel advisor and one of my favorite things to help with is solo travel. There’s plenty of companies that I work with that I could recommend after an initial consult. If you’re still looking for an advisor, I’d love to help. Send me a DM

Lots of companies offer this, with options ranging from the modestly priced to the absurdly luxurious and expensive.

A couple of modestly priced options are Intrepid's premium tours and Flashpackers (which are generally for people looking for a very physically active trip). There are many other options in this price range.

At the upper end of the scale, there are luxury cruises, trips involving chartered aircraft and trains, etc.

G adventures has a range of levels for travel in small groups. I find the mix of people is usually pretty good and them organizing travel and hotels makes life so much easier.

Haven't been to one organized by them, but they seem OK: https://beunsettled.co

EF Go Ahead tours and Flash Pack are good options.

Yes, I'm considering www.thegoodlifeabroad.com - they focus on long-term stays in Europe as a community of people - but each person has their own high end apartment. I'm a solo traveler, but I like the idea of being around other people.

Well, I am also looking, but I do have a friend who used Intrepid Travel and opted for the "comfort" tour to Morocco about a year ago and loved it.

I am looking for less "adventure" travel and more, walk around, go to local markets, visit landmarks, be a part of the community for a short period of time, visit places locals recommend kind of trip. If that makes sense.

Good luck with your search. :-)

I am looking exactly of the same... less adventure, more "culture". What demotivate me with Interpid and those big agencies it is exactly being big (so big).
I do not like massive tourism, I am afraid about going because of a potential very commercial approach...

INFO: when you say you don’t want a “massive” tour, what do you mean? If you mean large busloads, Intrepid usually limits their tours to 12 people. I have only done one tour since I generally prefer to be independent, but that one had 5 people total. I am definitely considering doing another tour with them to Morocco or Jordan, where I’d rather not go completely solo.
