Taking the kids on holidays can be even more stressful for a single parent, with no-one to share the workload. These single parent holidays are an ideal solution – low-impact, organised tours that take the hard work out of the holiday, leaving you with time and energy to enjoy the experience with your kids. Many of the holidays have specific departures only for single parents and their children.

We were immersed in this really poor country, with the hint of past traumatic occupation and wars, and received the most generous opening of hearts from this 80% buddhist country.

A brilliant holiday which both the adults and children thoroughly enjoyed. A well organised tour, helped by a good guide and a good group of families from which we have all made some new friends.

It’s hard to pick out the best bits; the whole 3 days were fab. For me it was probably the scenery at Chieow Laan Lake which is without doubt the most beautiful place I have seen. The children loved swimming and canoeing in the lake.

Everything about this trip was perfect! The itinerary included all of the major sites you would want to see, as well as so many other amazing and fun experiences. Our guide, Ned, was extremely personable and knowledgeable, not only about the sites, but also Egyptian culture.
