What Is a Women-Only Tour?

Women-only tours are small group trips designed exclusively for women travelers. These tours are curated with connection and comfort in mind—often with built-in experiences like local cooking classes, wine tastings, boutique stays, and free time to explore.

They’re a wonderful way to travel with ease while connecting with others who share your curiosity, confidence, and maybe even your craving for chocolate croissants.

Who Joins Women-Only Tours?

You’ll meet women of all ages and backgrounds—solo travelers, sisters, mother-daughter duos, best friends, and women who simply didn’t want to wait for someone else’s schedule to align.Most of our groups include women aged 40+, often working professionals or recent retirees, with a love for cultural exploration and a desire for high-quality, well-paced travel.
