Women-only touring

A chance for like-minded women to come together to enjoy the finer things in life, meeting inspiring local ladies and enjoying experiences otherwise off-limits to mixed groups. Women’s only touring is all about breaking down barriers whether that’s by making travel safer for you or by supporting women’s achievements with local businesses and initiatives, run by women, for women. You can feel free to let your wanderlust take control and trust in the teams of travel directors, guides, and your very own group of sisters in travel.

Immerse yourself in the colourful India, supporting local artisans employment and education whilst having the time of your life. Why not embrace your inner Greek Goddess effect and discover Greek islands’ history and mythology. Or maybe a trip to the “Rose City” of Petra dining with Jordanian families is for you.

Touring Fact

It’s a very common misconception that travelling as a female is dangerous, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Touring providers are breaking the barriers for women to tour all over the world with their women’s-only tours. You’ll travel in the safety of a guide-lead group of likeminded female travellers, plus you can make the most of unique experiences off limits to mixed-gender groups.
