It's certainly a growing holiday that's hard to escape no matter where you are in the world. But one thing loved up couples and Valentine's Day-hating singles have in common is that it's certainly a nice time to get away.
Below we've collected some of our favourite tours for singles, and our favourites for couples. The tours we've collected for couples are most definitely still suitable for singles, we just thought they sounded romantic :)
We hope you like these tours, and happy Valentine's Day!
Discover stunning Bali with a group of like-minded solo travellers. On this tour, you'll explore Ubud, Bali's cultural heart, by bike and foot.

Visit the country of culture, history - and salsa dancing on this immersive and fun tour that goes around most of the country in only 8 days, starting and ending in Havana.

Swim in the crystal clear waters in the Bay of Pigs, and learn about the country's fascinating history in Trinidad. If you've never been to Cuba before, this tour will give you a great understanding and appreciating for the country.
Circle around this beautiful island and take in the culture, wildlife and beaches along the way! Visit temples, tea plantations, eat fresh seafood in fishing villages with some scenic train journeys along the way.
Solo travel does not have to mean you're 20 years old and a backpacker. This adventure is designed for solo parents and their kids! Show your little ones (5 years and up) Costa Rica in all its glory. Visit volcanoes and explore the rainforest to see wildlife you could otherwise only see at the Zoo. You will have an adventure of a lifetime together with your kids and meet other solo travellers and new friends along the way.
Tours for couples (aka "romantic sounding" tours that will still include roughly 50% solo travellers)
Ride a camel in the desert, off into the sunset... sounds romantic right?

Just the two of you and a kayak, as you paddle along the beautiful Swedish coast in Summer with the romantic midnight sun. Yes I know it's not technically during Valentine's Day but would make a perfect gift for your loved one, am I right?
