What Should I Expect On A Women’s Only Group Tour?

Women's only group tour

Traveling with women’s only group tours offers a unique blend of camaraderie, safety, and the joy of shared experiences. For women over 50, these trips aren’t just about the destinations—they’re about connections and creating memories with like-minded adventurers. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or venturing out for the first time, you’ll find comfort and fun in a space designed just for women.

I’ll admit, I was a little unsure about what to expect when I went on my first Sisterhood Travels trip. Questions swam around in my mind. Would our group leader be there if I had questions? Would we have local guides to give me insight into the local culture? Would I be able to keep up? How would we communicate during the trip?

I soon figured out that I worried for nothing.

Unique Benefits of a Women's Only Group Tour

If you’re considering a women’s only group tour, you’re in for a treat. These trips are designed to give you more than just an itinerary—they provide an experience that celebrates independence, empowerment and shared understanding.

Getting Ready For Your Trip

If you’ve booked a trip with Sisterhood Travels, you can expect your group leader to get in touch via email a few months before your trip. Here you will be prompted to download the Trip Plans app. On the app, you will find all your trip information, itinerary, packing essentials, information about money and tipping, and more. I would also suggest downloading the WhatsApp app onto your phone. It is the most used source of communication during the trip. You can also keep up with your fellow travelers through WhatsApp long after the trip is over.

You will also be given roommate contact information if you choose to be matched with a roommate. You are encouraged to get in touch before the trip so you can get to know each other a bit.

You’ll also need to book flights (or have Sisterhood do it for you) and get travel insurance if you haven’t done so already.

Tip: I like to stay connected on any trip I take. For this reason, I purchase an eSIM for my unlocked iPhone. Usually, it’s much cheaper than your carrier’s international plan. My choice is Airalo. For example, I can purchase a local France eSIM with 10 GB of data for 30 days for just $23. I always purchase 10GB because being a travel writer, I use a lot of data. If I run out, I can easily top off through the Airalo app.

What to Expect During the Trip

When you’re on a women-only group tour, every day is designed with you in mind. The details are taken care of, leaving you nothing to worry about.

Curated Itineraries Tailored for Women

Unlike one-size-fits-all tours, women’s only group trips focus on activities that speak to shared interests. Imagine strolling through quaint European towns or enjoying a cooking class in Southeast Asia, all planned with a touch of flair that women appreciate. For example, tours like this adventure to Norway in 2025 are perfect examples of thoughtful itineraries for women.

Support Every Step of the Way

From professional guides who know every detail about your destination to a group leader who ensures the trip runs smoothly, help is everywhere. Whether it’s navigating a bustling market or showing you the best photo spot, you won’t feel alone or unsupported.

All-Inclusive Adventures

Say goodbye to the hassle of planning! A women’s only group tour often includes accommodations, meals, and excursions. You can focus entirely on enjoying yourself. Imagine taking a trip like this unforgettable journey to the Galapagos Islands, where everything is handled for you.

Who Can Join and How to Prepare

Curious if you’re the right fit for a women’s tour? Here’s the rundown.

Essentials for Women-Only Travel

It’s important to pack the right clothing for your trip. You can find packing guides all over, but my favorite place to get packing ideas is through Pinterest. Forgo those heels. Comfort is key so pick comfortable shoes. I’ll be sharing an upcoming guide on packing clothes for carry-on travel.
