My first trip with SoloYolo was 'BRUTAL' and it turned out to be the best decision ever. Everything I liked the most about Soloyolo is their itinerary because these guys truly believe in making experience immersive and fun. Their itinerary was different from the standard ones and it led me to the most amazing looking.

Hey guys, I recently finished my trip across Kerala with SOLOYOLO Travel Company, and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. I was looking for something different to try and then I came across SOLOYOLO. I felt like the itinerary was so detailed that I came across so many new places and it was the best way to explore Kerala. It was a great experience and I got so much more than I expected.

Special shoutout to our fearless leader, Manager Bikash Terang, whose enthusiasm for adventure was unmatched! And let me not forget the random groups of strangers we met on the whole road, who soon became instant partners in crime, mango shakes, stories, and a few questionable spooky privates. Here's to spontaneous friendships and unforgettable journeys!

Went on a Zanzibar trip with solo yolo and it was an experience of a lifetime. Never imagined a group of strangers can bond so quickly and deeply which was the case here. Thanks to '1000' and especially to 'Handy' for making this experience a memorable one. I also got to try some delicious food and explore the local culture. The itinerary departure is as per the schedule addressing any issues or concerns. Very well managed and coordinated.
