Roommate needed for Singapore to Bali trip

I love in Los Angeles. I have been on 3 Tauck tours. Am looking for female roommate for Singapore to Bali trip in 2026. Am flexible with dates. Single supplement is very expensive on this particular tour.

    Hello, if I were you, I would wait a couple of months...save the money and pay your single supplement... it may be a lot but better than having to share a room with these particular ladies, just think ... you will be stock with someone you don't know and that most likely will not compromise with you on the way she likes things done and if there is an disagreement ,she will have a long face and bad attitude all the time, to say the least.
    You will end up wasting a lot more money at the end and will come back unhappy.

    I thought about it once and thanks god it did not happen! the woman was a nightmare.

    Now, I don't only not share rooms; but I also do my independent activities while still on tour. I hire private guides during the tour.
    I do skip a day here and there, to do what interest me the most if it's not an included activity.

    When I did this tour, I went water rafting on the 2nd day at the Four Seasons and also went on a tour set by the hotel with a private guide and driver - they took me to some amazing rice fields and also to a famous water temple, plus more.
    Just remember you're not married to the tour group and as long as you tell the TD and you are ready when it comes time to departure
    they don't care.

    Enjoy the trip as you would like it to be.
    Money it's just money- the experience and knowledge it's what counts. I have done 12 tours with Tauck and also have travel independent for many years, for some this is difficult, but I love it and enjoy my time on my own. There is a large population of single ladies traveling independent...
    you meet t incredible people and see lots of amazing local sights.

    On my next trip- location not to be disclose here... but it is a Tauck tour again, I have hired 2 private guides, 1 for 2 days prior to the tour, since they don't see much of the first city- (Capital city) and the other also for 2 days at the end... the final stop and (most interesting city) - for me as a photographer and cultural enthusiast.

    On this tour, I'm skipping only 1 Tauck -day in the middle... It's a 1/2 day activity day and then back to the hotel.

    What I do ALWAYS recommend, it's do your HOMEWORK! Singapore it's an amazing city and there is lots of things to do and see.
    the rest of the trip it's well plan and full of activities- it's a great tour.
    If you need any suggestion or info.- use the private mess.

  • We recently did a trip with two women who were ‘friends’ and two days into the trip they were never seen together. I have no idea how things went in the stateroom, but they never ate together or hung out together. If you can’t afford to go as a single, don’t go with a stranger or a sort of friend. I have been on one trip where the boy friend and the girl friend discovered that they hated each other. That was not good for them nor anyone else in the group.

  • We have also been on a tour where friends fell out and it wasn’t fun for them or the rest of us. First world problems

  • I agree 100%. Pay the single supplement. Some people do not know how to play well with others.

  • On our Rick Steves tours they would pair single travelers who did not want to pay the single supplement. This happened a lot as Rick Steves travelers are frugal. We witnessed several disasters when this fell apart and the tour guide scrambled to make things right. Two I recall: one was a snoring issue and the other was a woman who monopolized the bathroom including hanging hand washables on every conceivable knob and rack. We often travel with our adult daughter and would never consider pairing her with a stranger. It’s a lottery with potentially many bad outcomes.

  • Lol!
