What our guests have to say

I am on route from the first Cuba trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Everything was so thoughtfully selected and planned. We met great women who are working to achieve great things, saw beautiful places, did amazing activities and ate and drank delicious food and drinks.

The SFT’s objective of supporting and empowering locals and women was key in planning every activity. I am very happy that I was part of this tour and definitely will join in future as well. Thank you Mar and Yummet for amazing experience

Miranda, Cuba

10/10 This trip was incredible! I went on the Barcelona & Costa Brava trip with a group of amazing ladies, lead by the most wonderful tour guide Ariadna. From the food, the wine, the excursions, and the hotels, everything was beyond my expectations. Worth every penny! Mar was so helpful all year leading up to the trip and made me feel prepared for the trip! If you want to see the world but need a little help navigating your trip the Solo Female Travel programs are an amazing way to go!

Katherine, Barcelona & Costa Brava

One of my favourite trips, as a Muslim women I was respected and treated like royalty. I was recommended and taken to places to pray, ensured that I was given halal food even though I am not a huge meat eater. My guide Glory was friendly and funny and as a person who is scared of spiders and insects my guide took care of that. She also made my dream come true with not only climbing Kili but also getting to see hyenas during the safari extension.

Zarina, Kilimanjaro

If you want a luxury experience that places an emphasis on empowering and supporting local female businesses and guides, I recommend you book with Solo Female Travelers.

I traveled to Morocco and enjoyed every part of the itinerary – Saharan desert camp, medinas, a winery, and so much more. SFT does a great job with the details every step of the way, and you never feel like a number because of the small tour size. We had 9 accomplished and amazing women and one of the co-owners was there every step of the way.

Meera, Greek Islands Sailing, Amalfi Coast, Florence & Tuscany and Venice

I have now done four trips with SFT. The first was Greece, last year, which was incredible. This year I did Venice, Tuscany, and Amalfi Coast back to back.

Meg and Mar, the founders of the group, were on the Greece trip so I feel like I know them now. They were not on the Italy trips but the guides they chose to represent them were similarly amazing.

SFT becomes more than just a tour group for many people – it’s a community of women who want to cheer each other on. Feels the same as the vibe at an Eras Tour concert. Mar and Meg curate experiences that highlight women entrepreneurs and uplift women in industry. They support anyone who identifies as female to be on the tours and choose to make it a safe space for anyone on the 2SLGBTQ+ spectrum. They are also actively anti-racist, which helped me to feel safer as a BIPOC woman.

They care a lot about the quality of their tours and choose delicious and fancy places to eat, along with curating meaningful experiences for us. I’m 4 tours in and so excited for whatever comes next because I trust their judgment. If you’re thinking about booking, just do it.

I’ve been booking with Solo Female Travelers Club for three years now and I’m obsessed. 3 years, 3 countries – Spain, Greece, and now Italy – and they have been the best vacations I’ve ever taken. So stress-free, with every detail thoughtfully planned and scheduled by Mar and Meg. You would not believe the thought and consideration put into every single one of their tours. There is no other tour group company that can touch them out there.

These tours have the most amazing food, I have met extraordinary like-minded women every single time, and I have never once felt lonely or overwhelmed while traveling with these groups, which is important for me.

I brought my mother with me on their Tuscany tour for her first international trip. I trusted that the experience they would give her would inspire her to do more travel out of her comfort zone. And now she won’t stop talking about the tour and her plans for future trips with this company and on her own and I am so thankful to them for that.

You will not find a company with as reasonable prices for the quality and the amount of things included within these tours. I can’t rave about them enough. If you’re thinking about booking with them, don’t hesitate, just do it. You will not regret it.

Shay – Florence & Tuscany, Barcelona & Beyond, Greece sailing

Another great trip with Meg and Mar…Greece and the women in the group were fabulous. June as we found can also be scorching but the rooms on the ship were air conditioned. I’d do this again!

Jacque, Greek Islands sailing

Solo travel is very intimating but this is exactly what I needed to take the step to travel alone!

This trip made me feel confident that I can actually explore the world safely while meeting new people and having one in a lifetime experiences.

Jasmin, Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Just returned from a trip to “Barcelona and Beyond” with this group. Great trip with amazing food, fun adventures, knowledgable guides, beautiful sites and fun strong women who are embracing life! This was my 2nd trip with SFT and again, it did not disappoint! Hoping to do another one in the future😃.

Jan, Barcelona & beyond

Just returned from my first trip with SFT: Australia; Sydney, Uluru, Cairns and Melbourne. Had the most amazing time! Mar and Meg made the trip worry free, so that I could enjoy every aspect of my experience. The other women who traveled as a part of this tour, made the trip even more memorable. Thank you Mar and Meg for making my dream vacation a reality!

Deborah – Australia

I just returned from the tour to Egypt. It was the perfect itinerary with all logistics taken care of. The tour was well-organized and I felt confident that I was experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime trip!
Mar and Meg were available to answer and support with all of the pre-travel arrangements as well as help connect our group before meeting in person.

The accommodations were spectacular and it was clear that Mar had personally vetted out each location.
The itinerary had a great mixture of historical sites and museums (the Giza pyramids, Valley of the Kings/Queens, Phillae Temple, etc.) while also allowing for an exploration of contemporary Egypt (walking food tour in Cairo, ATV-ing, hot air balloon, Khan el-Khalili, etc.). I feel like not a minute was wasted but I was also able to have adequate time to appreciate my surroundings and even utilize the pools and spas at our locations.

Siwa was amazing. The salt pools, the thermal springs, the dessert safari. Worth the lengthy drive. The Egyptologist, Eman, was an amazing inspiring woman who went above-and-beyond to educate and answer our questions. The bus driver was friendly and we moved from city-to-city and site-to-site with ease. Vegetarian meals were accommodated and the food was delicious.
This company truly strives for responsible tourism in an industry where this is rare. I could write a novella about how special this tour was but I’ll leave it at that! I will definitely be booking a future tour with this company!

Kelly – Egypt

I have been home for a couple of weeks, reminiscing on the magical time I had on the sailing trip to Greece. This is my 2nd trip with SFT and once again it was more than I imagined.

The sailing Greece trip was the PERFECT mix of a historical and relaxing vacation all while meeting and supporting women-owned businesses. I was fortunate enough to spend 8 days with BOTH owners of the company. I was able to meet Mar and reconnect with Meg who was with me on my Morocco trip in October of 2023.

Greece had been a bucket list trip for me and I’m glad I was able to experience it with this group of women and this company. I fell in love with islands I didn’t even know I needed to visit! I cannot wait to book my THIRD SFT trip! I am going with 2 women I met on the Greece trip.

I’m so thankful to have found this company. I am able to travel to places I had never imagined I would go to all the while meeting amazing women from all over the world. Women supporting women is the most powerful force there is!

Erin – Greek Islands sailing & Morocco

When I signed up for this trip, I never dreamed it would be such a magical experience and an amazing explosion for the senses!
Every day was planned out to perfection which tells me how very much Meg and Mar love what they do.
We went to wine tastings, food tastings, an olive oil tasting and ate the best gelato ever not to forget all the pastries! Each day was packed with new adventures including truffle hunting!
I have traveled to some beautiful places in my life but Tuscany is the most beautiful place I have been to date. It is breathtaking and the people are as beautiful as the scenery. Loving and joyful especially our host Anna and Silvia and our dear Maria.
I also have to say the amazing ladies we shared our trip with will be a part of my life and memories for a long time as they were all wonderful. I think that is one of the other reasons this trip was so special.
Our home base was a beautiful old farm that took you back in time to a simpler life. Excellent home cooked meals, beautiful surroundings and love, lots of love.
I highly recommend taking this trip. You will truly enjoy every minute of it.

Deb, Florence & Tuscany

I chose Solo Female Travelers for my first solo trip due to their positive online reviews, being a small group tour and it having a meaningful purpose in that we would be supporting the local people, especially women. I can’t put into words how incredible this trip was from beginning to end – lodging (casas), planned activities, food, fellow female travelers, and the people. Our guide, Yummet, was amazing! Her passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm for her country was contagious. She had us see, through a woman’s eyes, how life in Cuba works under a completely different government and it is something that I will never forget.

If you are thinking of visiting Cuba, or taking a tour with Solo Female Travelers – run, don’t walk, to sign up. You will be happy you did.

Lisa, Cuba

I enjoyed an adventurous informative and fun tour of Scotland in July with a group of wonderfully open and warm women accompanied by Mar and the talented Anastasia, our photographer. These are my photos, not hers, but you get the idea. The Scottish Highlands are breathtaking. I did not understand the vastness and beauty of the place until I was surrounded by it. Our guide Naomi was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and able to bring history to life and give context to our surroundings. Absolutely a gem. I’d share a wee dram with any of this group again. Highlights for me were the encounters width the birds of prey and hiking The Storr. So worth the climb.

Moira – Scotland

This was my first solo/group travel experience, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Everything was so well planned and thoughtful. The size of the group was perfect — and I really felt like I was getting an insider’s look at Iceland, not like a tourist. The other travelers in our group were so open and friendly – we became fast friends even though we were all from different places, different ages and at different life stages. If you are worried about touring with people you don’t know, don’t be – the vibe is super casual and accepting, and you’ll feel right at home. It really was the perfect trip, and I can’t wait to go on another one!

Kristina, Iceland

From castles in Scotland to the vast plains of the Serengeti…wineries throughout Tuscany, many islands in Greece, and the beautiful artistry in and around Barcelona…Solo Female Travelers have shown me worlds I never could have imagined. As my current (5th) tour with Solo Female Travelers starts the final leg with a flight from Tanzania to Zanzibar, I’m asked by fellow travelers “which trip was your favorite or would you recommend?” I honestly can’t pick just one.

Each of the 5 tours I’ve been on has had unique experiences that evoke feelings that literally change me to the core of my soul. The one unique theme for all tours are the incredible women I’ve met on each and every tour. I’ve literally met women from all over the world. I have met women who are healing from heartbreak, finding themselves, and celebrating personal achievements. Mothers and daughters, friends traveling together, and individuals. Everyone has a story to tell, and a reason they chose SFT.

Each woman I’ve met has left an impact in me. From my fellow guests to the guides, and all of the female owned business owners, we all share the desire to make the world better, and safer place for women to travel. Guides who share the culture, history, and traditions of their country are absolutely fascinating as I’m in awe of their vast knowledge. The businesses owners who are so happy to see us as we come through their doors, greeting us with welcoming smiles. And, of course the thumbs up, high fives, and jaw dropping awe from other travelers here in Africa as they realize that here is the ONLY tour group, guided, and fully curated by and for women. It makes me so proud to be part of it.

I’ve been part of the “SFT Family” since I first ventured out of the states in June of 2022 on my way to Tuscany. Before the trip was over, I was already telling Mar that I wanted to go to Greece, so I booked it as soon as I got home. I’ve since said I’d like to go on every tour they offer…but they just keep adding more and more, so I’m not sure I’ll ever catch up! But that won’t stop me from trying.

I tell everyone I know or run into about SFT and share their mission, their passion for promoting women traveling, and the incredible experiences I’ve had. The most common feedback I receive is “the tours are very expensive.” My response is always the same…”just book ONE trip, and you will understand the value of these tours. I’ve been to Tuscany June 2022, Greece June 2023, Barcelona (sensual) October 2023, Scotland July 2024, and Tanzania/Zanzibar September 2024.

Where will Meg, Mar, and the entire Solo Female Travelers team take me next…maybe Cuba…Croatia…Iceland? So many adventures just waiting for me to pick. One thing for sure…as long as I’m traveling by myself abroad, it will ALWAYS be with Solo Female Travelers!

Angie – Greek Islands sailing, Sensual Barcelona, Scotland, Tanzania Value, Florence & Tuscany

Let me start this review by saying Naomi is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! We could not have asked for a better guide to lead our Scottish adventure. Not only is Naomi an absolute blast to be with, she has a wealth of knowledge on the Scottish culture, the history and how women played a real and important part in all of this. She also has the skill to keep 12 women on time and engaged!

I do most of my travel solo so that I am not on anyone else’s schedule and my freedom to go wherever I want. This was a bit out of my comfort zone to be committed to a schedule and have so many other personalities around me, BUT I really did love it! I met some great women and I enjoyed hearing everyone’s very different and interesting stories.
The intinerary was great! We were able to see so many sights, have some very cool experiences and see a great deal of the Scottish landscape, which I was really excited for.

I am not truly sure what my favorite sight or experience was. Almost everything in Scotland is absolutely stunning to see in person and the deep and rich history is captivating.
Being at Glenfinnan and watching the Jacobite train (Harry Potter train for you Potter heads) going across the viaduct on the most perfect sunny day is pretty high up there along with having a night full of the best belly laughs as a few of us (tried) experienced some Scottish “nightlife”. The support of women owned/run businesses was an added extra that made me feel great about where my money was going. If you are on the fence, just do it! You will be enthralled. I will absolutely be booking another adventure with SFT.

I have also decided that I will be back in Scotland to walk the West Highland Way. I walked a very short piece of the WHW. (2 miles approx) on our second night at the Kingshouse in the Scottish rain and fog. It was haunting and magical. I think I was in a fairy glen. I really loved the Skyeskyns tannery as well. A beautiful small business doing right by the environment and the sheep. The setting was almost too beautiful to take in.

I have not met Mar & Meg, but kudos for a great itinerary and choosing the best woman for the job as guide, Naomi. I am excited for my next destination with SFT. With no reservation whatsoever!

Naomi – Scotland

Cuba March 2025, what a beautifully curated trip! It was an amazing experience made even more special by our wonderful guide Yummet. She loves her country and was enthusiastic about sharing it with us but also showed us the reality of life in Cuba. We had access to so many things that wouldn’t have been possible without this tour. I look forward to getting back!

Cindy, Cuba

Words cannot describe what this trip to Florence and Tuscany meant to me with Solo Female Travellers Group. It was a wonderful experience with a beautiful group of women from various countries. Our tour organizer Mar, was a pleasure to be with during the trip and helped us with all of our questions and anything that needed accommodation. Anyone we met for that matter was very generous, kind and helpful. The itinerary was superb and curated ever so nicely for a cultured experience of the region; from driving through it’s landscape, visiting medieval villages and hearing about their history, learning about wine, olive oil, cheese (and eating it!), going truffle hunting and cooking in a local kitchen to make a meal from scratch to enjoy. The list is endless but has filled me with precious memories for years to come. Just book it!“

Rossanna, Florence & Tuscany

The trip was truly an experience of a lifetime! The itinerary, accommodations, guides – everything was no less than perfect. I cannot imagine pulling a trip like this off on my own. It exceeded my expectations in every aspect!

Irina – Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

I just completed my first tour with SFTT to Iceland and can truly say it was a life changing experience. Everything from the destination itself, our itinerary, our amazing guide Saga, and last but certainly not least the amazing group of women I was with made this an adventure I will never forget! When they say it’s a luxury tour, it truly felt that way. I have booked 2 more tours and can’t wait to see what’s in store. Highly recommend!

Tiffany, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Amanda, Barcelona & Beyond

Recently I returned from the “Barcelona and Beyond” trip with this group. Oh my goodness! I 100% recommend traveling with them. Often I travel on my own (if you also do, you know how much planning and mental effort goes into traveling). For this trip, it was so nice to get to show up and not have to think about a single thing! Truly, I just got to enjoy every second. It is obvious Mar and Meg are so intentional about planning and put so much care into what they do for these trips. Everything was seamless.

This trip was a good balance of historical walking tours, gastronomy (aka awesome food and beverages), sight-seeing, and free time. Mar and Meg are intentional about finding the best female guides and female-owned businesses in the area! (Shoutout to Ariadna and Eli)!

If you are unsure because of the cost of the trip, I am telling you it is worth it! It cost more than what I would spend traveling on my own, but I would have never planned such educational or exciting experiences for myself. We stayed in really nice hotels in safe areas that were walking distance to a lot of things, we showed up to restaurants who were already waiting to serve us, we had fun and knowledgeable guides every day, we got to go on a boat ride on the Mediterranean, and each day had so many opportunities for learning and exploring that I could not have possibly planned so much on my own.

Unsure about traveling with strangers? Mar and Meg do a great job getting to know guests on the trips even before it starts. I loved the roommate they matched me with for the trip. We got along really well. These trips seem to bring together a lot of like-minded women of all ages to explore the world together. I had so much fun, and I will definitely book another trip with them!

I am not an experienced hiker and climbing Kilimanjaro was truly a daunting task for me. Planning a solo trip to Africa was equally stressful – I was over thinking about safety, mosquitos, and everything in between.

Thanks to Solo Female Travelers, I was able to put my fears aside, step outside of my comfort zone and turn a lifelong dream into reality. I can’t thank Mar and Meg enough for running such a fantastic organization and making adventure travel possible for solo travelers like me.  Their trips are so well organized and accommodated pretty much all my needs. Glory Thobias was the lead guide for our trip along with a group of female guides. Their expertise and experience helped me out in the most difficult moment of the climb. During the entire trip we felt well taken care of in all aspects, both in terms of safety, our physical as well as mental health. They frequently checked in with us on how everyone was doing, which made us feel safe and at ease. They also contributed to the group by being such wonderful, diverse, and fun people.

I highly recommend Solo Female Travelers Club !! 

Maddy, Kilimanjaro

SFTC was super easy to work with and easily accessible in times of need! I climbed KILIMANJARO with the most amazing group of women, supported by an equally amazing group of women (and some men) on National Woman’s Day!! The hike was led by Glory Thobias, accompanied by Makeri and Rehema. Glory is a true leader! She was always in control, always smiling, and so connected to everyone everywhere! Makeri and Rehema were so fun and motivated us all the way to the top! It was the trip of a lifetime! Sign up for the next trip and post your picture at the top when you get there!!

Michelle, Kilimanjaro

I was expecting to use my binocular all the time but animals were so close, it was euphoric. I made so many good friends. Glory is a superhero, she is so passionate about women in Tanzania moving forward in roles that were meant for men. She also made me laugh so much my face hurt. I never thought I would enjoy group tours as a solo female traveler but I will now highly recommend others go on a group tour with other women.

Sydney, Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Went to their inaugural Tuscany tour this June and it was a lovely experience!

Apart from seeing some highlights of the region, we had several experiences prepared for us that would have been almost impossible to achieve as an actual solo traveler with no personal connections in the region. I truly felt immersed in the beauty of Tuscany.

The food was also amazing and almost too much (but we never turn down dessert!). I am so happy to have gone with women looking for a similar immersive experience and now have several wonderful new friends. I highly recommend joining this Tuscany tour with SFT and would love to join another one of their tours in the future.

Noelle, Florence & Tuscany

I would highly recommend! The tours organised by Solo Female Travelers Club are worth every penny!
I just came from Barcelona & Costa Brava tour and it was life changing! We visited many hidden gems, not only the well known landmarks (those everyone can visit on their own). It’s undescribable how fantastic the people were, how well the tour was organised, how amazing hotels, food and drinks were and how passionate and kind-hearted our guide Ariadna was. Meeting other travelling women and listening to their stories was magical and I’m sure we’ve all ended the trip as a family. I would rate it 11/10 if I could.
The tour greatly exceeded my expectations and most likely I will travel with SFTC again in the future!

Izzy, Barcelona & Costa Brava

I traveled to Egypt of New Years with SFT and had the best trip ever! Mar is an amazing planner and planned the itinerary perfectly!

Almost all sites we went to we arrived when the crowds of tourists were minimal so we could enjoy everything. I was worried the trip would feel too rushed or hectic but there was the right amount of activity and rest and I was able to enjoy everything. The food was delicious and the hotels spectacular. Our Egyptologist was amazing too and I learned so much. Mar also planned some unexpected and unique activities like a food tour through downtown Cairo. I would have never thought to do this on a trip but it was a highlight for me. The whole time I felt extremely safe and well taken care of. The best part of the trip was connecting with the other women joining the tour— I know I have made friends for life.

I love how SFT is committed to supporting women on the ground where they operate tours and supporting women to travel solo. The best mission and company. Can’t wait for my next trip with SFT! Thank you Mar & Meg!

Ashleigh – Egypt

Ruth, Kilimanjaro

This was not only my first solo adventure but also my first overseas adventure! I had a fair bit of anxiety leading up to it, so having the hard work of planning accommodation, activities, guides etc done for me was such a relief. There was plenty of communication and updates leading up to it, so that was also really helpful and meant I felt prepared and organised before leaving.

Our head guide Glory, was beyond amazing! On the days with nothing particular in the itinerary, she came up with some awesome activities. On the mountain, I felt safe under her guidance and she was great with checking in how we were doing and providing plenty of encouragement when needed!

The whole crew of guides were fantastic-it’s difficult to put into words how much I appreciated their kindness and expertise. The wider crew of porters and cooks were also fantastic. I especially appreciated the chefs great job of accommodating my dietary requirements, and the porters impromptu morning dance parties to get us up and going for the day! The entire climb was just an indescribably fantastic experience! The safari was also spectacular! The drivers had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife from miles away, and so got us up close with so many animals. Seeing all of the big five was such a privilege. The guides were knowledgeable and gave plenty of information about what we seeing. The vehicles themselves were super comfortable to travel in. The accommodation was gorgeous! Super comfortable with great food. All in all, a spectacular experience that I would recommend to any one!.

It’s difficult to put into words how wonderful this trip to Iceland was. Truly one of the best experiences to date for a single traveler. The way in which Saga and the rest of the women on the tour interacted and opened themselves up to this beautiful country was magical. I’m so grateful this organization supports and empowers women travelers. Thank you!

Guest, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I would highly recommend Solo Female Travelers Club for their travel tours. I just returned from the Barcelona/Costa Brava trip. It was excellent.

The accommodations were spacious. The food was more than you could ask for. I really enjoyed seeing places that were a bit more off the tourist grid. I wouldn’t have even known to visit some of these places and they were well worth the trips.

Sometimes I would have wanted a little bit more free time, however, I really appreciate not having to do all the planning and just going along for the ride. Mar made the trip stressless. If you are looking for a tour that is a bit more high end, this will meet your expectations.

Alexia, Barcelona & Costa Brava

I absolutely loved the Amalfi tour, Laura our guide was awesome and I never would have experienced such a wide range of activities on my own. So will definitely be doing another tour in the future and letting friends know about SFT.

Thank you so much for organising such an amazing tour!!!! Much gratitude

Marcela – Amalfi Coast

Mar and Meg are absolutely amazing and accommodating!

They were able to be agile with our requests while still providing AMAZING service and ensuring an immersion into the Culture of Africa/Maasai/Zanzibar people. Would greatly recommend!!!

You can never go wrong with SFT group nor the tour operators. Huge Shout Out to Glory Thobias!!!

Bekah, Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Christina – Cuba

Unforgettable Cuba Experience

Let me start by saying that our guide Yummet is absolutely incredible. Her deep knowledge, passion, and love for her country transformed our trip into something truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcomed and connected—not just to the culture and history of Cuba, but to its heart and soul.

We visited some truly wonderful restaurants that offered authentic Cuban flavors, full of warmth and character. The lodging choices were cozy, charming, and thoughtfully selected, giving us a genuine sense of Cuban hospitality. And the tours? Absolutely top-notch. Whether we were walking through historic streets, exploring local art scenes, or learning about Cuba’s complex past and vibrant present, Yummet brought everything to life with such insight and care.

This trip didn’t just check the boxes of a great vacation—it left us with a deep appreciation for the strength, resilience, and beauty of the Cuban people. You don’t just visit Cuba, you feel it.

You’ll leave with incredible memories, a full heart, and a newfound love for this amazing island and its people.

I joined the Amalfi tour, and it was so delightful!

Our hotel overlooked the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, and the hotel’s vibe was definitely Mediterranean and relaxed. We had wonderful, attentive service, and the entire staff couldn’t have been nicer! I finally got to meet Mar, and she’s as delightful as I anticipated she would be! Erin, our local tour director, was so helpful and they did a great job of guiding our tour.

Our itinerary was perfect for showing the beauty and culture of Amalfi. We toured a lemon farm and tasted limoncello as well as other delicious treats! Our boat ride to Positano was spectacular, and if I hadn’t broken my wrist earlier in Florence, I’d have jumped into the Sea with the others! It was wonderful anyway! In fact, when I discovered that a fall in Florence had left me with an injured wrist which turned out to be broken, Mar, Erin and the hotel staff all worked together to get me to the hospital and make sure I got treatment! I’m so grateful for their assistance!

Kim, Amalfi Coast

The organisation was really great: there were no issues, no delays, no need to worry about anything, amazing locations for dinners, everything booked and taken care of in advance.

I felt very relaxed, comfortable, welcomed, taken care of, entertained, well-fed, well-nourished and absolutely at ease 100% of the time. And we had so much fun with our local guide: I feel like it was the coolest summer camp of my childhood – but in a more luxurious setting!

Elena, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Just came back from the Luxe Tanzania trip and it was amazing!!

From the hotels chosen to the food to all of the safaris and ending with Zanzibar-I could not have planned it better! The guides were amazing and so knowledgeable. And love love the focus on using women guides, supporting empowered women is what Solo Female Travelers does best! If you’re looking to see all the animals on safari and stay in beautiful hotels- this is the trip for you. And if you’re very blessed- you will have Glory as your guide- she is kick a**!!

Angie, Tanzania Luxe safari + Zanzibar

Trip of a lifetime! Our awesome host and guide Mariam made it flow beautifully, from seeing extra sites or coordinating scrumptious meals. We traversed a huge loop of Morocco, from the coast, crossing three mountain ranges and two magical nights in the Sahara. Multiple casbahs, medinas , marketplaces and oasis! Having a dedicated driver and a group of adventurous women, the fantastic housing choices and sites bonded us as friends. The extra effort of meeting and chatting with local pioneering women gave unique perspective and meaning, not just an ordinary tourist experience but so much more. The owner, Mar was with us and patiently answered questions and now I can’t wait to go on another exploration with them!

Holly, Morocco

What is the best way to climb Kilimanjaro? Well of course it is with Glory and her incredible team and Solo female travelers. Your nerves and fears disappear with every song and smile of the crew. The unwavering power of women supporting women comes to life with every step you take. Looking back it’s all so hard to describe. It was both the best and most challenging thing I have done so far.
I would also highly recommend rewarding your climb with a safari seeing all the animals especially the cats in the wild was yet another amazing Tanzanian experience.
IWD will forever have a special meaning for me now. Without SFT and Glory and her team none of this would have been possible.

Vanessa, Kilimanjaro

Robin, Kilimanjaro

Traveling to Tanzania and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Alone, was very intimidating to me. Of course I had a ton of support from family and friends but it is scary to travel to a place you have never been to before and not know one single person. Mar and Meg made it a whole lot less scary. They set up a FB group that was just for the woman who were signed up for the trip and also coordinated a Face Time chat for all of us to meet “in person”. It was so nice to be able to connect with everyone prior to traveling across the world. Mar and Meg were in contact with us at least once a week prior to the trip and were always available through emails.

Once I arrived in Tanzania, I was greeted at the airport by Glory. She was our guide for the entire time we were in Tanzania. Glory and her team of all female guides are truly the best you can find and they treated us like family from the moment we stepped off of the plane. Glory was born on Kilimanjoro and knows everything there is to know about climbing it and how to help you get to the top. Her knowledge of the wildlife and the plants are endless. There wasn’t a question I asked that she couldn’t answer. She truly cared for each one of us as an individual and not just a group of women to take up a mountain. Not once did I feel unsafe or alone while on this trip.

If you are looking for a life altering experience, check out the Tanzania Kilimanjaro Climb, and book it through Solo Female Travelers Club. I know my life and how I live it from now on will never be the same.

I just returned from an AMAZING trip to the wonderful Islands of Greece 🇬🇷.

It was extra special because both Mar and Meg accompanied the group of amazing women from all walks of life and corners of the world! I love that there is an emphasis on empowering and supporting local female businesses and guides. Our guide Stella was wonderful You only had to mention in passing and she would make it happen 🥰

I am Gluten Free and I did not go with the expectation that there would be special meal accommodations. At every meal in every place we ate (even at a private home) there were so many GF options! The food was incredible! I realize this is not always possible BUT.. I was more than thankful for every delicious meal 🥰

I previously went to Iceland with SFTT and have booked 2 more trips! I highly recommend SFTT❤️

Charmaine, Greek Islands sailing

AMAZING! I travel a lot worldwide and I can honestly say this was one of the best adventures I’ve been! The two nights in Sahara desert was spectacular but in addition, Mar curated a fantastic itinerary that showed the immense diversity of Morocco. It includes unexpected locations that average tours do not include and the local guide Mariam is superb! I also love that it includes opportunities to engage with local women who are inspiring. This was my second trip with Solo Female Travelers and I will definitely travel with them again. I love the Quality! Highly recommend.

Sonia, Morocco

We did the Tanzania trip with safari and Zanzibar and it was amazing!! Glory is a phenomenal tour guide and you can tell she absolutely loves her job. I can’t wait for my next trip with SFT!!

Melissa, Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

On a whim I booked the Luxe Tanzania trip and I’m so glad I did. The trip was absolutely incredible and more than I expected. The accommodations were beautiful, the food was tasty and plentiful, the adventures were so much fun and breathtaking, and the friendship we created were special. I can’t wait to book my next trip!!

Brandi – Tanzania Luxe safari + Zanzibar

I was on the Sudan trip this month and it was the most incredible experience! I can’t say enough good things about Mar and SFT- from pre-trip communication to accommodations and daily itinerary. We had a wonderful time and it was by far the smoothest trip I have been on post covid. Visit Sudan with SFT, you won’t regret it!

Maureen – Ancient Sudan

I recently traveled to Morocco with Solo Female Travelers. Wow! It was the trip of a lifetime. I still can’t believe all the things I got to do and see in those 10 days. I knew I would be in good hands because I had been on another trip with this company. Our tour guide, a wonderful Moroccan woman, was outstanding. She took care of all the details and kept us on schedule and laughing the whole trip. We had such unique experiences — from staying 2 nights in the dunes of the Sahara and riding camels to lunch at Chateau Roslane, a Relais and Chateaux property and vineyard outside Meknes to shopping at a women owned and run rug co-op. One of the many things I appreciate about Solo Female Travelers is the company’s commitment to supporting women working in the travel industry, which is quite novel in many of the countries where they provide tours.

Our accommodations and dining were excellent throughout the tour–very thoughtfully chosen. And the tours are small, so you really get to know the other group members. We had a fabulous time together. The pace of the tour and time spent at each location was spot on. I knew this was going to be a trip, not a vacation, given the detailed itinerary on the website. And that’s what I wanted–to see many different parts of the country, hear from women in these regions, and have a memorable experience. But there was also some relaxation time built in, which was great.

Highly recommend Solo Female Travelers. I’ve already booked another tour with them!

Ann, Greek Islands sailing

Exploring Greece was a life long dream, but how to manage all the aspects of planning something like this, especially not knowing exactly what I wanted, felt overwhelming. Then I met Meg and Mar on my first sole trip to Barcelona last summer. M and M are masterful planners and they know what women want!!!!! They know!!!! My trip to Greece is my second trip with them and I just signed up for a third! Next summer I’ll meet up with friends from both Spain and Greece and I can’t believe my good luck.

Sailing between the Greek Islands on a private Yacht (!!) is the way to travel. We’d arrive at an island ready for the next adventure – which included first, an overview by Stella (our guide) of the specific historical influences of each island, its culture, architecture, mythology and sights not to miss. Each day had a specific itinerary with time also to explore on our own. I will not lie, most islands were hard to leave!!!! I just wanted more days in these beautiful spots.

The boat experience itself is also worth its own starred review. Dancing on one floor under the stars, reading, napping or grouping up on the top deck feeling Greece in your bones – can it get any better? Taking the zodiac to a private swimming cove, time at beach clubs to float (!!) in this never ending sea, is…..really…..amazing….what more can I say, except this, the sailing experience itself, promotes getting to know women from around the globe and really making new friends. The opportunities for belly laughing keeps bringing me back to Meg and Mar!

My advice “Just Do Greece”

My daughter and I have just finished the trip to Iceland. This is our 2nd trip with Solo Female Traveler. The first one was last year to Tanzania+Zanzibar. And we just simply LOVE THEM. They are PERFECT!! We are already thinking about our 3rd trip!! They are super well organized, many different activities, super safe and 100% worth it!! Thank you for all your effort!!

Carolina, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

My first trip with Solo Female Travelers was to Tuscany two years ago and it was amazing! I just got back from Barcelona and Beyond. It met and exceeded my expectations. The women on our groups have been wonderful. The guides are knowledgeable and fun people. I would never be able to explore and learn about the places we went with such detail independently. They pick such fun activities. The cooking classes, boat rides, beaches, history and more are put together uniquely and enjoyed by all. Now, I have to decide where I’ll go next! These are the best vacations!

Kim, Barcelona & Beyond

Robin – Amalfi Coast

Glory made me feel very safe; she is so knowledgeable about animals and loved to share this with us. This trip confirmed that I want to have a career around animals. Being on a women-only tour made me feel very comfortable, like we were sisters

Elena, Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Michelle, Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I returned last month from the Tanzania and Zanzibar value tour. Our guide Glory was so knowledgable, kind, and fun – such an incredible guide out to have with us in the parks to view wildlife!

Our experience on safari was nothing short of an experience of a lifetime! We saw every animal and African landscape that I was hoping to experience. I felt so well cared for throughout the trip and the accommodations were very comfortable and added to the vacation experience.

The trip communications and procedures were very clear and made packing and preparing for the trip very smooth. If you are looking to experience a once in a lifetime safari experience, I highly recommend the Solo Female Travelers Tanzania and Zanzibar trip!

Booking the Solo Female Traveler’s trip to Egypt was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. When I booked the trip, I was in a tumultuous time in my life. I had traveled solo before, but not out of the country (U.S.). I booked it because I wanted to meet other like-minded women and travel with people that were passionate about learning other cultures. And boy did I hit the jackpot with these ladies.

Every single woman I met on this trip helped me learn something, whether it was how to lean into the freedom of being single, traveling while I’m young, choosing myself over negativity, humor in the mundane, and much more. I was also able to network with ladies and have references for future jobs- crazy!

Our Egyptologist on this trip is literally a saint. She’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and now very dear to my heart. She has a video of me on our last day crying because of how much I miss her – lol!

And Mar?! How can I begin. She created this itinerary herself and I thought it was perfect. There is SO much to see in Egypt, but she made a perfect balance of luxurious relaxation and adventure. Some days you quad bike in the desert, some days you have a food tour in the city, and some days you chill on a rooftop with drinks. Mar and Meg started this company and have grown it to an amazing company that has brought so many women together. I can’t wait to see Mar on my next trip.

I also met one of my now closest friends on this trip and we already booked the NYE 2024 trip to Oaxaca with SFT. I just can’t get enough. I wish I could go on every single trip they post!

I also loved traveling with a group + an already planned out itinerary. I could actually let myself have a vacation and absorb everything possible instead of worrying about logistics. The money is so worth it even if it was just for this peace. I know I was able to experience so much more in this time frame than I would have on my own or if I would have planned the trip myself.

If you’re wondering whether or not you should book a trip with SFT….do it now. It will be the adventure of a lifetime.
I’m going to try to post recaps of the trip on my blog @eat.drink.bay. Feel free to also message me if you have any questions about this trip or SFT. <3

Bailey – Egypt

Climbing Kilimanjaro is the best thing I’ve done in my life. You feel like such a sense of accomplishment. I highly recommend it, you’ll feel so proud of yourself at the end. Glory is amazing and she does a great job at guiding the pace.

Shelly, Kilimanjaro

Best trip ever! Mar and Meg created a wonderful experience in Tanzania. The lodgings were fantastic, the people so friendly. My first safari and it was just so great. Never thought I’d have wonderful massages in the Serengeti but I had that along with beautiful sunsets and lots of wine after a long day looking for elephants and lions!

Shawna, Tanzania Luxe

I just spent a wonderful week in Cuba, organized by Solo Female Travelers. Every detail was taken care of by them and our amazing guide, Yummet. We had very comfortable accommodations and a variety of delicious food/drinks, from high-end restaurants to local farm-to-table establishments. The activities were a blast, too! Of course we visited Havana, but also ventured into the farming valley of Viñales, and the seaside cities Cienfuegos and Trinidad. I loved traveling with other female travelers, and it was so rewarding to meet local people (and support local women!). I highly recommend this travel company, as well as this incredible tour to Cuba.

Melissa – Cuba

I had a fantastic time on the Croatia and Montenegro trip! I’ve never done a group tour before and I have to say that Meg and Mar did an incredible job of putting together a wonderful experience. It was a great group of warm, independent women, and our guide, Nika, was terrific in every way.

I definitely recommend Solo Female Travelers Club to any woman looking to have a truly great, enriching, travel experience.

Robin – Croatia & Montenegro

Akanksha, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I just returned from the Iceland trip which was from Oct 1st-8th. For me, it was a once in a lifetime trip and I never wanted it to end . There are a zillion memories that I made in this trip.

At one time I was awestruck by the Glacier Lagoons, and next moment I am amazed looking at the lava ashes from recent volcanic eruptions. On one hand, my eyes were dazzled by shimmering glacier crystals lying all around on the Diamond beach and next moment I am listening to inspiring anecdotes from a local Icelandic farmer in her home sipping coffee and feasting on her home-made cookies. One day I am seeing a seal relaxing in the lagoon and next then I am petting the Icelandic horses. I am eating gourmet dinners and then I am having best possible authentic tomato soup in a greenhouse farm – right were they are being grown.

I am hiking inside a natural ice cave and then next I am scaling the slopes of a cliff. I have seen couple of waterfalls in my life but here I get to go behind them! I not only see them, I get to feel them as well. The Blue Lagoon and the northern lights sighting – I don’t want to get started on that… I am at loss of words. Who gets to do all these and much more in just a week ! Well I did  For me the highlights were:

– a well planned itinerary which was covering all I wanted to see and more
– Our cool guide Saga. I guess if I recorded what all she shared, we can have a book written with that information on Iceland  Mar – who was not just ensuring everything is planned, but was a super fun company as well.
– the tour plan wasn’t just written on papers but executed with perfection and details. We were given surprises on the tour too ! For example, meeting a women farmer of Iceland.
– our places of stay were awesome and trust me some were fancy !
– I am not a foodie but couldn’t help gorging on the meals we were served. All the dietary restrictions were already taken care of. Nowhere I felt any issue because of my vegetarian diet.
– The trip gave me lots of flexibility. For e.g. I could have my own little explorations and hikes after done with the day’s itinerary.
– The details shared for trip preparation (what to pack, what weather to expect, airport transfers etc.) were super detailed and explanatory. Every day we were detailed with plans for the next day, so it was easy to plan our timings.
– Immense patience that Mar & Meg have. They never backed down from answering any questions I had before or while taking the trip. This was my 1st overseas vacation, and Mar and Meg ensured that it was a special one.

I was initially skeptical in signing up, as the photos I looked from the Iceland trip gave me the impression that this might be limited to women from Europe/America. But I was so very wrong. I am from India and this trip was for me too. It is for every woman who wants to travel.

The cherry on the cake was the awesome group of women that I had. It was a perfect blend of women coming from different places, different stages of life with inspiring life stories who had just one thing in common – their love for travel. All I can say is I am so glad I took the trip. If in future if I plan anymore trips, I now know whom to reach out 

Awesome is one of the words I would use to describe our tour of Morrocco!

From my first contact with Mar and Meg, to the added bonus day this tour surpassed all my expectations. Our daily itinerary was jam packed, our guide Mariam was amazing and our accommodations were a great mix of traditional riads and hotels, both extremely comfortable. Female empowerment was the theme for this tour and we experienced that with every guide, cooperative and restaurant we had a chance to visit.

The added bonus of talking with activists lead to an increased understanding of how women live in this part of the world. I would highly recommend this trip.

Jane, Morocco Sounds & Sights

Just returned from the Cuba tour and I can’t say enough great things about the experience! The tour guide Yummet was amazing and the activities were outstanding! Supporting women and visiting their businesses was informative and fun. The cities/towns we visited were very different so got to experience Havana, the mountains and the beach area. Highly recommend this tour – I will never forget this trip.

Nancy, Cuba

My Iceland trip with Solo Female Travelers Club was the best trip ever!!!! Everything was planned and top notch! Luxury hotels, delicious food, seeing the best Iceland has to offer!

We were so lucky to have Mar on our trip and our local guide, Saga, made the trip extra special by adding personal touches by visiting her best friends sheep farm, told all the myths, and her childhood stories of growing up in Iceland.

Leave the family home and take a trip for yourself! You’ll meet women from all over the world. It’s seriously the best way to travel.

Guest, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

The trip to Tanzania was a fantastic experience! It was so memorable and unique, and I strongly recommend it to everyone. Tanzania is beautiful! On Safari, we saw so many animals up close; the scenery was breathtaking, and the local guides were amazing; a special shout-out to Glory. Mar and Meg did a terrific job preparing us for the trip and answering all our questions. Hakuna Matata and go ahead and book your trip to Tanzania!

Marta, Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

I enjoyed the trip. I thought it was well organized and planned. Nika was excellent as a guide. She has a love for her country and I learnt alot by talking to her. I like the concept of promoting businesses that are owned by women. I look forward to participating in some other trips.

Joanie, Croatia & Montenegro

Angie – Greek Islands sailing

I just returned from an amazing trip touring through the Greek islands with Solo Female Travelers Club. I was especially fortunate to be sailing with both founders of the group Meg and Mar. This was my second tour with the group (Tuscany in 2022), and it certainly did not disappoint!

I share this group and my experiences with anyone and everyone who will listen, because there has never been a company I truly believe in and support more than these ladies. I have seen and experienced things on the trips I’ve taken that I never could have dreamed possible. Best of all, I didn’t have to do any of the planning and logistics behind the scenes, because these ladies and their amazing network do it all!

More than the vacations in beautiful and exotic locations is the business focus on promoting opportunities for other females to share their skills, knowledge, and life’s passions in more male dominated cultures. Additionally, the lifelong friendships made as women from all over the world come together to share in these beautifully cultivated experiences.

I believe each woman goes on these tours for their own reasons, whether it’s to celebrate a life achievement, heal a broken heart, take the reins of newly claimed independence, or a proclamation to stop waiting for others. But one thing is certain, every woman ends a tour with a refreshed spirit and new friendships that will last a lifetime. As I said to Meg at our final dinner on the boat “you and Mar are literally changing lives one tour at a time.”

So, anyone who has perused the many tours SFT offers, and not taken that final step, I encourage you to do it. For those who are held back by the price, I can assure you that you will not find a better value that includes such detail, intimate and unique experiences, and personalized attention than traveling with SFT!

My Solo Female Traveler’s trip to the top of Kilimanjaro on International Women’s Day was absolutely incredible! Glory and all of the other guides, Happiness, Anna, and Jackie were amazing and made us feel so powerful in our abilities to make it to the top of the mountain. The porters were inspiring to watch them carry our packs along with all of the items we would need at camp and pass by us on the mountain and have everything ready when we arrived at camp for the night.

The food and care that was given to us as camp was beyond anything I could have asked for when I was feeling sick from the altitude changes. I can not say enough wonderful things about this trip and was so thankful for the team for believing in all of us when we all made it to the summit! It was such an accomplishment and a moment I will never forget. I was even surprised with a birthday cake at the very top of Kilimanjaro for my birthday a few days after the trip. What an amazing, incredible, and never forgettable experience! I am excited to plan my next trip with Solo Female Travelers!

Rachel – Kilimanjaro

This trip to Sudan exceeded my expectations!

I traveled to so many places in the past but had not much idea about Sudan or its culture or even what to expect at all. I felt so grateful to be able to experience such unique places and cultural events that Sudan had to offer, to be taken care of so well by SFT, Diba and our drivers and to be able to meet like minded, easy going and many fun travelers on this trip. It is definitely a once in a lifetime lifetime experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s adventurous, curious about the world/culture and/or looking to travel and be mesmerized by off the beaten path destinations like Sudan.

Joop – Ancient Sudan

Just came back from Tuscany with SFT and I highly recommend this tour or any tour with them.

For me it was the dream of a life time, I’ve waited 25 year to go to Tuscany and I’m so happy I chose them. The total experience, from the food, the places we visited, the people we met, everything was perfect. Above all, the friends I made on this trip, solo female travelers of all ages, from everywhere in the world.

We bonded, we sometimes had meaningful conversations, other times we laugh ‘til we cried ! Memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Mar for organizing this trip and making it runs so smoothly. Already looking forward to my next trip with SFT, in 2023. Will it be France or Scotland… we’ll see, my name is on the waiting list. In the meantime, I’ll be going to London with one of the lady friend I met on the Tuscany tour. We’ll be reminiscing the great memories for sure!

Manon – Florence & Tuscany

I cannot say enough to express how fabulous our recent trip to Barcelona and Costa Brava was! The tour was impeccably planned in every detail. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was incredible, and the locations we visited were so much better than I could have imagined. Our tour guide, Ariadna, was very knowledgeable and added a great deal to a wonderful tour. This was definitely a trip of a lifetime and experiencing Spain with such a wonderful group of women made it even better! Best tour group ever. Thank you to Meg and Mar, too! Keep doing what you love in providing such fabulous trips!

Susan – Barcelona & Beyond

Iceland was the trip of a lifetime!
Mar and our local guide were fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed every stop on the itinerary, the hotels, the restaurants, and the amazing scenic drives in between!
I am always the one planning out each and every detail for my trips and it was SO nice to have everything planned out already for a change! Can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you so much for the memorable experience!.

Guest – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I recently had the pleasure of joining an all-female travel group in Greece, and I cannot express how wonderful the experience was.

Safety: One of my top concerns while traveling is safety, and I felt completely secure throughout the trip. The organizers prioritized our well-being at every step, from carefully vetted accommodations to trusted local guides who were always available to assist us. Their attention to detail and genuine care made me feel at ease, allowing me to fully enjoy the experience.

Accommodations: The accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. We stayed in beautiful, well-maintained vessel that offered both comfort and a touch of local charm. Each location provided a serene and relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The organizers clearly put a lot of thought into selecting places that enhanced our Greek adventure.

Organization: The trip was meticulously planned and executed, leaving nothing to chance. Every detail was considered, from our daily itineraries to transportation logistics. The seamless organization allowed us to focus on enjoying the journey without any worries. The itinerary was a perfect balance of guided activities and free time, ensuring we experienced the best of Greece while also having the freedom to explore on our own.

Experience with Local Business Women: My favorite part of the trip was our interactions with local businesswomen. It was inspiring to meet such passionate and dedicated individuals who shared their stories and insights with us. These encounters provided a deeper understanding of Greek culture and the unique challenges and triumphs faced by women in business. It was an enriching experience that added significant value to the trip.

Overall, this all-female travel group provided an unforgettable experience in Greece. The combination of safety, excellent accommodations, impeccable organization, and meaningful connections with local businesswomen made this trip truly special. I highly recommend this group to any woman looking for a well-rounded and enriching travel adventure.

Kelly – Greek Islands sailing

This is the only company you should be going to Tanzania with!

Glory is one of the most incredible women I have ever met and I have great stories to tell from this trip for the rest of my life. The level of care and professionalism of the whole guide group who helped us ALL summit Kilimanjaro was incomparable.

We were certainly the most fun, energetic, and close group heading up and down the mountain. We were definitely the most bad ass group on safari.

Don’t make the mistake of being one of the jealous onlookers by booking with anyone else. Through the whole trip the food, transport and accommodation were fantastic. I have made friends and memories for life from this incredible, life changing trip.

Janie, Kilimanjaro

Iceland is a magical place. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the country and the people. I embarked on the trip just hoping I could make it through my first solo trip and came home feeling more whole and empowered then I thought possible!

Guest, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

The trip was fabulous! The planning and organization were outstanding, and Mar and our Moroccan tour guide Mariam responded to unexpected issues with creative solutions and great humor. The hotels, especially the riads in Chefchaouen and Marrakech, were excellent, as was the food.

The pre-planned bathroom breaks at restrooms known to have Western toilets were especially appreciated! I highly recommend this trip as well!

Julie – Morocco Sounds & Sights

My trip to Barcelona with Solo Female Travelers was excellent! Mar and Ariadna were amazing guides, the food was excellent and we really got to experience things that were local and felt special. I’m headed to Greece next year and can’t wait to go on even more trips with this fabulous tour company!

Melanie, Barcelona & Costa Brava

I recently returned from my first tour with Solo Female Travelers. I was a little nervous about traveling alone, but the trip was amazing. Every detail was so well planned and I love the emphasis on female owned businesses. Scotland was everything I had hoped it would be and sharing the experience with Mar and so many awesome women was better than I could have imagined. I can’t wait to plan my next adventure!❤️

Robin, Scotland

Guest – “Wow!  The trip was absolutely incredible!  It exceeded my expectations in every way.  Iceland is a wonderful country – the landscape is stunning; the people are friendly;  the environment felt safe;  and the food was fantastic. 

Our agenda was packed, and it was fast-paced, but it needed to be to get in everything.  I think the itinerary was perfect – it included all of the “must-see” things on the South Coast.  And the tomato cafe was heavenly.  Top it off with a phenomenal local guide – Sigga!  She was absolutely wonderful – warm, friendly, cheerful, and extremely knowledgeable.  We all fell in love with her. 

She even squeezed in a little surprise visit to a woman-owned sheep farm, which became one of my favorite stops of the trip.  I swore I was not coming home with an Icelandic sweater, but I just couldn’t resist the perfect sweater made by a member of Kidda’s family.  And to buy it directly from her on her farm was so special.”

Guest, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

What an amazing adventure. I just returned from a trip to Barcelona and Costa Brava. My first solo travel experience! I met an amazing group of women and developed a confidence in solo travel that is amazing!

Meg and Mar were wonderful! The entire trip was so well planned and executed! From the first roof-top gathering with sangrias and delicious food to the last day in Sitges, there was not one moment I did not completely feel energized, joyful and comfortable.

Accommodations were amazing. Our tour guide, Adriana, was wonderful and fascinating to listen to! The professional photographer, Beth, was great! Can’t wait to see the final product of her work!

It was well worth the cost to know that from the moment I awoke each day until the moment I went home, everything was fantastic. I’ve already booked my next tour with this group!!

Carol – Barcelona & Beyond

Wonderful experience. Met beautiful ladies, made great friends and have memorable memories that will last my lifetime. Already booked my next trip 😊

Jing – Scotland

Just returned from the Florence/Tuscany group trip with Solo Female…Fantastic trip!! A lot of Italian food, laughter, shopping, and wine. We met incredible female business owners-strong, independent woman that welcomed us into their homes. Trip of a lifetime

Jan – Tuscany & Florence

My first experience with solo female travellers was great! I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on International Women’s Day with their all women team and crew. Glory and the team are amazing. If you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro I would highly recommend this team. 100% of us made it to the summit (also in the previous years group) which is incredible as success rate is only 60/70%. But that’s what happens when you’ve got the support of incredible women. Solo Female travellers also donate some of the money to support the local women.

Joahnna, Kilimanjaro

I just returned from SFT’s first Greek Islands sailing tour – and it did not disappoint! The trip was thoughtfully planned in great detail, while still being flexible to accommodate everyone. The mix of planned activities and free time was well balanced, and we certainly didn’t go hungry or thirsty! This was my first SFT trip, and I’m about to book my second.

Maureen, Greek Islands sailing

Such an amazing time exploring the Cyclades Islands in Greece on the beautiful sailing yacht, Galileo with Solo Female Travelers group.

Stella was our fantastic tour group leader and I always felt very cared for and safe in her hands.

Everything on the tour was fantastic. Ive already booked my next Solo Female Travelers tour and am going on an African Safari!

Elaine – Greek Islands sailing

This is my first female solo travel and am I lucky I found SFTC!!!!

My trip to Barcelona and it’s surrounds was beyond wonderful. The planning was easy with their help, the sites visited were exactly what i was hoping for and the women I met have become traveling friends. We just booked another trip. There are so many options of places to see around the world and from the women I met here, who have been on several other trips with SFTC, they come away with new friends each time.

Ariadna our tour guide was 5 stars – incredibly educated on spanish history, art, translation, architecture and culture. Did I say excellent food and drinks!!!!! Warm and funny – she made this trip accessible for all levels of interests. If you are at this site – just book something – you won’t regret it!

Ann – Barcelona & Beyond

I did their Greece trip and was lucky to have both Mar and Meg on the trip. I found this trip using google and didn’t know anyone on it. I’m leaving the trip with new friends and several once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I can honestly say that I can consider both Mar and Meg my friends now, and their personalities shine through the way the trip is set up. They are so passionate about female empowerment, good food, and having fun. In Greece I swam in the ocean, ate amazing food every day, explored ancient ruins (guided by an archaeologist), learned cycladic cuisine (hosted in her home by a published chef), partied in Mykonos, explored tiny villages, and laughed belly laughs every day. If you are hesitating, don’t. Just book it – you won’t regret it.

Meera, Greek Islands sailing

I just returned from the Iceland trip with sft and it was wonderful!

The itinerary was packed so we got to see so much of the beautiful country. Our guide was super and took such good care of us to ensure we had the best experience. Meeting my fellow travelers in this group was a highlight and made the trip so much fun – I laughed more in that week than I have in a while:) The accommodations were lovely with nice amenities and I really enjoyed the time with my group around delicious and relaxing meals. I have not traveled internationally since the 90s, but this trip was so easy, I won’t think twice about traveling with sft again and, in fact, I’m looking for my second trip with them as we speak!

Sandra – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I traveled to Barcelona & the Costa Brava with Solo Female Travelers, and it was a great experience! For my first international solo trip it was great to have all the things the group offers: private transfers between locations, AMAZING meals at the best restaurants, a knowledgable local tour guide (hi Ariadna!), and visits to places off the beaten path that you wouldn’t even know about if you had planned the trip yourself. An unexpected benefit of traveling with a group: I unfortunately became ill, but I felt safe and taken care by Mar and the rest of the group. Mar even delivered Churros & Hot Chocolate to my hotel room so I wouldn’t miss the experience! I definitely am planning to travel with Solo Female Travelers Club again… highly recommend!!

Laura, Barcelona & Costa Brava

WOW! What an amazing trip that Solo Female Travelers put together in Croatia & Montenegro. This was my first group tour and I chose them because they were small and because their philosophy and dedication towards empowering women impressed me, and I was not disappointed.

Croatia was great and our tour guide, Nika, had rich stories of her childhood in Old Town Dubrovnik as well as extensive knowledge about the history of the area. Montenegro was just as beautiful (if not more?) and Perast was a great small village to stay.

Mar & meg crafted an itinerary that included lots of sightseeing, balanced with some down time, and lots of great food & wine. I can’t wait to do another with this amazing company! #SFTCroatia

Denise, Croatia & Montenegro

The June 2023 Barcelona and Costa Brava tour exceeded all my expectations.

This was a perfectly curated tour for me, it had history, amazing food, beaches and a wonderful group of women who, over the course of the week, have become my good friends. Travel is all about connections and SFT understands connections- with people, places and communities.

Our guide Ariadna is exceptional. She is an engaging and knowledgeable storyteller, with a deep understanding of history, geography and culture which she can contextualise in meaningful and interesting ways, as a professional historian I know this is a rare gift. We were also lucky enough to travel with an amazing photographer, Anastasia, who made everyone feel confident and took beautiful photos.

The hotels we stayed in were lovely, my room mate was perfectly matched, and the food was delicious! I highly recommend SFT tours and I will definitely be booking another myself.

Bec – Barcelona & Costa Brava

Just wrapped up my first trip with the SFTC and had the best time in Tuscany. 

I met some beautifully inspiring women both on my trip and throughout our excursions. From the stunning Villa to the perfectly curated events, I couldn’t imagine a better way to experience Tuscany. Within a week we tasted wine from 3 different vineyards (specializing in Chianti Classico and Brunello), hunted for truffles, pet the sweetest cashmere goats, learned the art of basket weaving, and ate our weight the best food! Between eating and drinking the best of Tuscany, we visited several of the small towns within Chianti region. I left Tuscany with a full stomach and even more full heart for Tuscany and the friends I made on this trip!

Already planning another adventure with friends from the trip. Hands down would recommend Tuscany and traveling with SFTC!

Vicki – Florence & Tuscany

Recently early-retired with a supportive husband that doesn’t really enjoy traveling, beaches, wineries, etc., I booked my very first solo European trip! I picked the Solo Female Travelers Club’s Greek Islands sailing tour because it sounded amazing and I loved that SFT Tour’s values empower women! Everything about my journey was amazing, including bonding with so many like-minded incredible women. Highlights were our yacht and daily breakfasts, touring nine breathtakingly beautiful islands, kayaking on the Aegean, and hiking on Paros. And, oh my, the food experiences! SFT picked the best of the best places to eat and I tried so many new and wonderful dishes, just extraordinary! I am still smiling thinking about our 9-day trip and my new traveling friends. And I am ready to book my next adventures with SFT!

Lynda, Greek Islands sailing

I just got home from the SFT Egypt trip and wow!!!

I had the most amazing time in Egypt exploring all the historical sites, eating terrific food, driving quad bikes in the desert and a magical hot air balloon ride. Mar and Meg did a fantastic job of setting up this trip to not only visit the famous sites (like the Giza Pyramids, Abu Simbel, Valley of the Kings, and more) but gave us the opportunity to learn about Egyptian cuisine and culture. I also met an incredible group of women, Mar included, on this trip and I am so happy to say I made new lifelong friends.
I have been raving about my trip to everyone I know since I got home. And I will be booking another Solo Female Travelers trip for this year!

Kailtin – Egypt

I want to share how fabulous an experience it was to have been on the first trip to Croatia and Montenegro with this amazing organization! The group of women was fantastic and all the aeaa we visited were incredible! Our tour guide Nika, was such a rich source of information and history about her home country. She has every right to be as proud as she is about where she comes from. I learned a whole new appreciation for this beautiful region and what they have endured. Amazing people, places, food and of course, wine! I would go back to this area in a heartbeat. If you’re entertaining the thought of going to this region of the world, don’t hesitate! You won’t regret it one bit!

Daryl, Croatia & Montenegro

Iceland, October 2023 –
a great trip with a small manageable group of women, carefully curated experiences, delicious meals, knowledgeable local guide. Can’t swear you’d have the same excellent weather we did but in all other respects—you won’t go wrong with SFT.

Lauren, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Melissa, Barcelona & Beyond

wow, where to even begin?! I am not even sure I can find the right words to describe my Barcelona & Beyond extravaganza trip.

We started out with welcome Sangrias at a rooftop bar overlooking the Sagrada Familia and ended with not wanting to leave all the amazing women I met on this trip, #SangriaFamilia ! Meg & Mar and our local tour expert, Ariadna curated an amazing trip from picking out great hotels with rooftop pools and bars to delicious food and drinks to picking out the best local cultural events. I truly was mesmerized by everything.

Everyday I kept thinking to myself “Oh, this was amazing, top notch….no way we can outdo this”….and then THEY DID! They truly take away the stress of planning a trip and concerns of traveling alone. We even had our own amazing photographer, Beth on this trip and she was a gem…..patiently taking my photos and showing me how to pose to capture the best memories. I was able to completely de-stress, put away all the electronics (and wallet for the most part) and just submerse myself on this trip.

Everything was taken care of for me! I can’t wait for my next trip with Solo Female Travelers! The only downside is coming back to reality…..no sangria at lunch and no siesta….although…..teehee!

Greece! I cannot say enough about how amazing this trip was! The passion that was shared with us was overwhelming, I still tear up just thinking about it. The guides and the hosts had so much beauty and passion to share with us about their land and culture. Seeing other guides, at Delos for example, just came nowhere near the level of knowledge and passion that our guide shared with us; and that level of passion shared with us was consistent throughout. They have truly found the best guides and hosts. This level of passion and information is something I would not have been able to find on my own and took this trip to the next level.

The schedule was perfect! We aren’t wasting time traveling and transporting and avoided the big tour groups. If I attempted this trip on my own, it would have taken twice the time to even attempt to see what I’ve seen, and even then I would never have been invited into homes or been able to find these super special places and guides.

The only negative thing I want to share is the quality of food on the ship, which was a bit disappointing for the foodies in the group, which is the only reason I give 4/5 stars (4.5!). That said, others have said that other trips offered have had incredible food. Also, wouldn’t trade the boat we were on for better food! The restaurants were lovely, especially in Marpissa 💗💗💗!

I will absolutely be joining another one of Meg and Mar’s tours, no question!

Rachelle, Greek Islands Sailing

I have just returned from the SFT Morocco trip and am still floating on the amazing experience. It was more than I ever imagined. I could tell the care and attention that was put into organizing the entire tour from hotels, food, vendors, etc. I had the privilege to have 1/2 of the founders of SFT, Meg, on our tour. Our local guide Mariam was a dream to have with us and we got to know her and her country.

I couldn’t have imagined visiting the country any other way than this tour. I 100000% recommend this tour to anyone considering visiting Morocco or even if you have never thought of it. Looking forward to my next SFT tour in Greece!

Erin, Morocco Sounds & Sights

My trip to Tanzania with SFT was nothing short of spectacular. A safari trip has been at the top of my bucket list for a few years, but I was overwhelmed at the thought of planning it and going on my own. All I had to do was book my plane ticket, pack, and everything else was taken care of. The lodging at each place was beautiful and the food was always delicious. The outdoor shower at our tented lodge overlooking the Serengeti was amazing! Mar and Meg were always quick to respond to any questions, and our female guides were the absolute best–they were very knowledgeable about the animals and also just so much fun to be around. I met some amazing women I consider friends and we’re already planning our next trip. Highly recommend SFT!

Jen – Tanzania Luxe safari + Zanzibar

I had a fantastic time on the Iceland trip! This was my first women’s group tour and I have to say that Meg and Mar did a terrific job of putting together an enjoyable experience. It was a great group of fun women, who supported each other along the way. Our guide and driver, Sigga, was remarkable in every way. I definetly recommend Solo Female Travelers to any woman looking to have a truly great, enriching, travel experience. After the trip I am feeling bold, adventurous and courageous …and looking to take another trip in 2024.

Melissa, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I cannot describe the amazing-ness of my Greek Island Hopping tour. Meg, Stella and Mar minded all of the details to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience. I saw, did and learned so much more than if I would have arranged all of it myself. And I will forever cherish the memories of meeting so many incredible women and the friendships that developed and will now be part of my life.

Karin, Greek Islands sailing

I recently went on the Florence Tuscany trip in July 2023 and I cannot express what a beautiful, once in a lifetime experience I had.

First, before you even start on your trip, you receive all the information you need for the trip-tips on getting there, clothes to wear, what to pack, etc. I felt very prepared which eased much of my anxiety.

This trip is all about the most delicious food and wine you’ve ever tasted and highly recommended for foodies. But on top of that, we learned so much about Italian culture and life. The farmhouse villa is absolutely gorgeous and your host, Anna, is so warm and welcoming. An added bonus is a nice cool pool overlooking the Tuscan countryside to cool off in after some warm days.

We saw lovely wineries, a cheese farm, medieval villages, and everyone’s favorite, truffle hunting in the forest with an experienced truffle hunter and his dogs. Everything was meticulously planned and exceptional. I highly recommend and am anxiously awaiting my next trip with this wonderful company.

Sandy – Florence & Tuscany

I booked this trip on a whim; as a birthday gift to myself. I am not a drinker and I don’t eat a lot of pasta and I second guessed myself and consider NOT going. I’m so glad I did!!

The scenes are gorgeous. The places we visited are so enriched with beauty and the hosts are so gracious! The company I got to experience Tuscany with just made this trip so much better!

I personally don’t have the time nor patience to book a whole trip for myself, much less excursions. I admire all of you who do these trips solo! But if you’re like me, then I highly recommend ANY experience with Mar and her handy traveling experts. You just get on your flight and arrive! It’s so easy and convenient  

Thank you for the experience and memories!!

Sylvia, Florence & TUscany

I had a wonderful time in Iceland and we were really lucky with the weather & got to see everything but I don’t think the trip would have been nearly as successful without Sigga. 

I have been on other guided tours before but never had a guide as terrific as Sigga. She was knowledgeable & helpful but didn’t feel the need to fill every minute of silence. She struck the right balance between keeping us on schedule and allowing us to explore. I always looked forward to her joining us for meals & activities. 

I’m looking forward to my Greece trip next year & hope Sigga was an example of the wonderful guides we’ll have there. 

Cecelia – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

This was my first experience participating in an organized travel group, and it exceeded my expectations. Meg, Mar and the team on the ground in Morocco (shout out Mariam) made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process – with a pre-trip zoom call to answer all of our questions, both airport transfers, and all the moments in between. There is something very refreshing about having someone else coordinate the day’s activities and address any obstacles that may pop up.

In addition – what makes this group so special – is the impact we have on the women in the country. As a traveler, I could feel the energy and emotion from the guides and advocates we had the honor of meeting. Those were moments I will never forget.

Bre, Morocco Sights & Sounds

I can’t recommend this travel club enough! I did my first trip with them this month. It was the sailing trip through out the Greek islands. My first solo travel ever. I got in early to explore some on my own to truly be solo but enjoyed the time with my group just as much. I’ve made new friends that I know I’ll see again! Such amazing ladies- the logistics alone of wrangling 35-40 women… my hats off to Mar and Meg. They are equally lovely people. They hire great women to work with, too. Our guide Stella was the most amazing woman! I love them all for making the trip so special. I look forward to figuring out what trip I want to take next.

The quality of the food, the tours and other experiences that were included in the price- I don’t know how they provide such quality. Oh and the likeminded women you meet from all over with different life experiences was a highlight for me

Maya, Greek Islands sailing

I recently returned from my second trip (Tanzania and now Cuba) with Solo Female Travelers and I’m still in awe. This group really goes above and beyond when planning their trips.

All the details are taken care of from arrival to departure. We learned so much about the culture, history, and way of life and had fun doing it. Knowing we are supporting and encouraging other woman makes it so much more special. On top of all the memories made were a few new friendships.

I can’t wait to start planning my next adventure!

Brandi, Cuba

I cannot recommend this enough!

I work a stressful job, where I am required to be on top of everything. It was amazing to be able to show up and not have to worry about planning anything, buying tickets for anything, meals, etc. That being said we had plenty of time to walk around, shop, and do our own thing.

The group of women on this Amalfi trip were amazing! We all got along, had a great time and laughed so much! I can’t wait for my next trip!

Christy – Amalfi Coast

Amazing tour with amazing guide. Glory knew just where to go to ensure we saw the best of the Serengeti – lions, cheetah, leopards, wildebeest, elephants, zebra, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, and so much more!

Great accommodation – especially the unique MoYo tent camp, where we slept in luxury to the sounds of lions, hyenas, and other wildlife right outside. The Great Migration was a highlight.

Highly recommend this female-powered tour with three great guides!

Sheila – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I can’t speak highly enough about this company Mar and Meg), its values or the experience that I had traveling to Tanzania. The trip was extremely well planned. Glory Salema is an inspiration and a rock star and it’s a privilege to help her help other women in Tanzania. Nora and Dabrat were awesome.

As somebody who usually has to worry about all of the details of traveling for my family, it was wonderful to have a competent and thoughtful guide and organizer making everything happen so that I could just enjoy the trip. The group of women traveling was impressive – accomplished, kind, and funny and I enjoyed their company tremendously. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to take a trip with this group, I’d say don’t hesitate. You’ll be in good hands. I’ve already signed up for my next trip.

Leah, Tanzania Luxe safari + Zanzibar

Went to Iceland with Solo Female Travelers. It was a very well organized trip! I feel the accommodations and included meals were excellent. The agenda was packed with all of the great sites of mostly south Iceland. Every day was better than the next. I highly recommend this company and this tour specifically.
Our local guide Sigga was full of information and went above and beyond to make sure the women on the trip had everything they needed. A few weather challenges came up and she was able to shuffle things around and keep us moving. She was always a few steps ahead planning and plotting 🙂
If you are wondering if you should travel with strangers, you absolutely should. Our group bonded right away and we had a great time.

Gail – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Sailing the Greek Islands with Solo Female Travel was an incredible experience. Stella is the most amazing guide who made the trip fun and lively. I think she has been the best guide I’ve ever had on a tour. If Greece is on your bucket list this group should be the one you choose

Carol, Greek Islands sailing

I had the most amazing experience in Cuba! I was initially nervous to go, due to political tension between the US and Cuba. I signed up for a group trip, rather than go truly solo to ease my nerves a bit and it turned out to the best decision I could have made!

The trip curated by Meg and Mar at Solo Female Travelers was fantastic. All of the hand picked activities and restaurants were fantastic. I felt that the activities were very diverse and captured the essence of the culture and it’s wonderful people. If I had to choose just one, I’d say smoking cigars and playing dominos with Vivian was my favorite. What a vibe! The days were full and active, but still left time to rest and get a full night sleep.

Yummet, our guide, was one of a kind. She was exceptionally smart, funny and had great delivery of information throughout the trip. I really appreciated that she was an open book and we were able to talk about politics, history, and her hopes for Cuba’s future.

I was only able to leave 5-stars, but I’d leave 10 if I could. Highly recommend the trip to Cuba with Solo Female Travelers!

Brittany, Cuba

I just returned from a safari trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. The entire trip exceeded my expectations from the detailed planning and packing lists to the amazing animals we saw on the safari to the hot water bottles in our tents at night and morning coffee delivered by the amazing camp staff.

The guides especially Glory Thobias were knowledgeable and went to extremes to make sure our experience was an unforgettable one, she knew the best spots to find the wildlife and had amazing driving skills. We were lucky enough to have a group of ladies in our group who were strangers when we met who meshed perfectly which enhanced the trip even more.

Would recommend the hot air balloon ride which was optional and amazing. Also recommend the spice farm tour and cooking class in Zanzibar which was a great and unique experience. The only problem now is how do I top that on my next vacation, it will be very hard to beat. Special thanks to Mar also for the amazing planning.

Angela – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

Moira, Greek Islands Sailing

This was a once in a lifetime trip! Perfectly curated!

Meg and Stella are professional, approachable, amazing women. Most importantly they are CARING!

They went above and beyond to make sure the trip was a great experience not just for me, but every person on that trip! I made some lifetime friendships and that may have been the best perk of all. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company for any and all travel plans. I will DEFINITELY be booking a future trip with Solo Female Travelers!
PS I had way too much fun 🙂

Just got back from an amazing NYE trip to Egypt! Everything was absolutely perfect…..

From the best hotels available in each town to all the incredible activities and sightseeing tours to our super friendly and knowledgeable Egyptologist.

Mar’s attention to detail and making sure everyone was safe and having fun and everything ran smoothly was appreciated by all of us. I can’t wait to go on another one of SFT (Mar and Meg’s) tours.

Bonnie – Egypt

I was recently on the SFT Tuscany trip and it was like the best combination of luxury travel and summer camp! Everything was planned so perfectly- it was one amazing experience after the other and the group of ladies was truly so lovely. I can’t forget to mention the vast quantities of amazing food we ate-I will never be able to go back to life without pasta everyday and wine with every meal, I’m too spoiled now! What a wonderful week!

Emily – Florence & Tuscany and Amalfi Coast

 Such an amazing experience. The country was beautiful but in addition to that the people you meet make it so memorable- everyone is so kind and welcoming.

Solo Female Travelers tours are highly recommended- they find the best female owned companies to support and create an itinerary that allows you to experience the area ❤️

Shawna – Cuba

This May I took my 2nd vacation with Solo Female Travelers, this time to Morocco. I looked at several tour companies but decided to go with SFT because of their custom curated experiences, attention to quality and empowering women-owned businesses. I really appreciate the small group format (there were 10 travelers on this trip plus 2 guides and a driver) where there was a good mix of women (ages spanned 30’s to 70’s). We did some of the must see things – like riding camels in the desert and experiencing the markets in the medinas – but also enjoyed a beautiful riad in Chefchaouen that felt like we were treated to stay in an artist’s home with all the special touches you would expect. This truly was a vacation to remember, all the more special because of the attention the organizers paid to every detail!

Kathy – Morocco Sights & Sounds

I just returned from the Barcelona & Beyond trip through Costa Brava. This was my second vacation with SFT as I’d traveled to Tuscany two years ago. Mar, Meg, and their staff plan interesting, educational, and exciting adventures. Each group is intentionally small. The company’s mission to empower women by supporting local women-run businesses is one of the main reasons I chose to travel with SFT. I want to gain a deep understanding of the regions I’m visiting. Local women passionate about preserving their culture shared their love of everything Catalan. The trip was everything I’d expected and more.

A few highlights included fascinating historical walking tours of Girona, Barcelona, and Sitges, a winery visit complete with a blind food and wine tasting, a tapas tour through Barcelona, a visit to the Dali Museum and the Palau de la Musica Catalana which was spectacular, a paella cooking class, speedboats along the Mediterranean coast with time to stop and swim, and so much more! Most importantly, I met great women who share my love of travel, and we had a fantastic time. I highly recommend booking a trip with SFT. You can look forward to your vacation knowing that every detail will be meticulously planned and you will be supporting SFT, a women-owned business with a great mission.

Andrea – Barcelona & beyond

My Luxe Tanzania safari and Zanzibar trip with SFT was absolutely incredible! Going on an African safari had always been a bucket list item for me and so, once I booked the trip, I was a little nervous that it would not live up to my dream and I was also nervous to go on my first ever group tour. But it exceeded all my expectations! All the women were so kind, friendly, and great travel companions, I made amazing friends, we had so many fun and incredible experiences, had unbelievable wildlife experiences, and it was the trip of a lifetime. Glory is the absolute best and she worked so hard to give us all the best experience ever! Every day was better than the last. I was so impressed by all of our female safari guides, happy to support Mar, Meg, and Glory’s mission, so impressed by all the lodging, the great Tanzanian people we met, and how accommodating Meg and Mar were. They answered all of our questions before the tour started, provided enough details and a packing list to calm my type A personality (my first time not being in charge of my own travel), and Mar was great to travel with. I will definitely be going on another SFT trip and will rave about the safari trip to anyone that will listen.

Jen – Tanzania Luxe safari + Zanzibar

I have been on two SFT trips and was so incredibly happy with both I have already booked a third! Meg and Mar do such a fantastic job curating the itinerary, hotels and guides that it truly feels like being a kid again with no responsibilities and just enjoying the experience. I have made so many memories and friendships that you can’t get anywhere else and look forward to more trips. Don’t hesitate, book the trip and see the world with incredible women!!!!

Abby Gail – Barcelona & Beyond

I have been on a couple tours now with SFT and have another already scheduled for next year. I love all the accommodations and activities that are included in the itineraries and would choose the same for myself, which says a lot because I’m very particular when it comes to that kind of thing! I’m usually the one doing all the planning in my family so I love that all the work is done for you and you can just show up and have fun! Also, the fact that it’s women-only makes me feel safer and it’s also super empowering! I love that SFT is a business owned and operated by awesome women as well as the fact that they exclusively partner with women where possible when doing the local tours and activities. It’s admirable and women supporting women is top tier!! I highly recommend SFT! Thanks Mar and Meg!

Frankie – Tanzania Luxe and Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Had a fabulous time on the Glam Venice trip. Activities were well-chosen and fun, and I appreciated the focus on women-owned and run businesses.

I’d never been on an organized tour of any kind prior to this (I usually travel alone) and I really enjoyed the chance to experience Venice with a fun group of women and great guides.

Nora, Glam Venice

My trip to Tanzania with SFT was nothing short of spectacular. A safari trip has been at the top of my bucket list for a few years, but I was overwhelmed at the thought of planning it and going on my own. All I had to do was book my plane ticket, pack, and everything else was taken care of. The lodging at each place was beautiful and the food was always delicious. The outdoor shower at our tented lodge overlooking the Serengeti was amazing!

Jen – Tanzania Luxe

I had an amazing adventure in Morocco with Solo Female Travelers!

Our guide Mariam was phenomenal! She was extremely knowledgeable and curated a well-organized, thoughtful expedition to more than 10 different locations across the country. Each city we visited had a unique and talented female tour guide who navigated our group through the winding medinas, kasbahs, museums and we even had a wonderful tour of the Hassan II Mosque with our passionate guide Amina. We also spent 2 incredible nights glamping in the Sahara desert – the highlight of the trip! We were treated to amazing sunrises, sunsets and even a full moon! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the food! Cookies, mint tea, tagines, pastille and couscous! So many wonderful meals all expertly managed by Mariam! Lastly, special thanks to Mar of Solo Female Travelers for accompanying us on the trip and for offering these amazing experiences complete with a photographer Anastasia – who was also very talented! I cannot wait to book my next trip!

Beth – Morocco Sights & sounds

Everyone was amazing, the trip was perfect and it shows that it was planned with care!   Laura and Emily were both so fun and perfect as well, I was happy to be able to meet and travel with them.  Laura, obviously cares so very much about Amalfi Coast and it showed as she brought us through.   
Thank you so much for creating this very special group! 

This was my first trip without friends/family, so first solo trip and I do not have a lot of experience going abroad, I was VERY nervous.  Once I met up with one of the other members of our group, it was nothing but fun and adventure.  I am proud of myself for taking this step, and I am also so very grateful for this community that made it such a positive experience!! 

I will most definitely be back and spreading the word to all the lovely females in my world! 

Diane – Amalfi Coast

I just finished the Tuscany tour and I have to say it was one of the best times of my life!

We got to experience so many unique experiences and see so much on this trip! Don’t get me started on all the amazing food this trip provides. I can’t recommend this travel group enough!

Rita – Florence & Tuscany

Just got back from exploring Cuba! I want to share that this experience ignited my soul, expanded my knowledge, and rejuvenated my love for all people in the world.

Once in a life time experience.
A unique and empowering way to travel a country while supporting women owned businesses!
The food, All the Rum,
The Views, La gente, the knowledge learned, it’s all worth it! Do it!!! Our Tour Guides: Yumet & Aña were amazing

Cady – Cuba

I can not say enough about the Amazing experience that was had in Tanzania with SFT.
Mar was with us on this adventure and she made sure EVERYTHING was great! Our women safari guides were all exceptional,….ALL of them. Glory made sure to find us the Big 5,… and she is magical! I will not hesitate to make another trip with SFT. Smash that reservation button, and do it!

Tara, Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I just got back from this amazing trip. If you are still contemplating whether to go or not next year, the answer is GO! RUN! FLY! Amazing experience, breathtaking sites. Never had a bad meal while there.

Tatyana – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Alexandra – Croatia & Montenegro

Cannot recommend this group enough!

I took their Croatia and Montenegro trip in June 2024 and could not believe the level of joy it brought me! This was the first time ever doing group travel with strangers, as I have historically travelled with family and friends, and aren’t I glad I took the risk.

Our local tour guide, Nika, was AMAZING beyond words. She was with us every step of the way without being pushy or over-bearing. I felt like i had autonomy during the travel, a fear I had going into it. And the level of hotels I stayed at were top notch just like they promised. Communication going into the trip was also excellence and I felt as if I really mattered.

I can absolutely see myself doing another tour with them very soon! I almost want to repeat Croatia (LOL), as I’m such a foodie and wine gal who loves her luxury 😉

My trip to Tuscany was a dream come true and very special because my sister and I traveled together.

The experiences, what we learned, what we saw and the people we met were the greatest. Maria, our incredible tour guide  was A+ all the way.  She is a love!  And Anna an Sylvia were so wonderful. 

I would say the last day that we all cooked our farewell dinner together was very very special.  What a  fabulous group of women.  We got along so well and shared stories, laughs and more.  It was sad to say good-bye to them and beautiful Tuscany..

The opera singer was the frosting on the cake and a duet with Maria was incredible. Everything about this trip was 1st class all the way including the villa. I will be taking this trip again in 2 years.  I hope to do your Venice trip next,

Thank you Mar & Meg for an unforgettable experience.

Lisa – Florene & Tuscany

Best trip I’ve ever taken! Thank you Mar and Meg! Y’all truly provided the most amazing, stress free experience. Can’t wait to do the next one! ❤️

Stephanie – Florence & Tuscany

I had a fantastic time on the Cuba trip with Solo Female Travelers. The itinerary was packed with meaningful stops, centering on women-owned businesses.

Everything was top notch – the hotels were beautiful, food was delicious and plentiful, and the guide was the best. I didn’t know any of my fellow travelers when we began, but by the end of the trip I felt like I made good friends that shared this great experience with me. It was a dream trip, one I will always remember. If you are thinking of going on any of their trips, don’t hesitate – do it!

Ginny – Cuba

I just returned from Greece and I have nothing but HIGH praise for this team and what they accomplish! This was my first trip to Europe and I was very nervous…up to the day I left. The first meeting with all of these wonderful women was a smashing success! Meg and Mar are incredible planning every magical moment. I ate the most wonderful food, found new wine, learned the importance of GOOD olive oil, explored villages on Greek islands, danced on a boat, swam in the Aegean Sea…but most importantly…made life long friends. They truly live by their mission to empower women through travel. Thank you so much so allowing me to be a part of this journey! See you in Iceland in 2024!

Leezle, Greek islands sailing

I cannot describe the amazing-ness of my Greek Island Hopping tour. Meg, Stella and Mar minded all of the details to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience. I saw, did and learned so much more than if I would have arranged all of it myself. And I will forever cherish the memories of meeting so many incredible women and the friendships that developed and will now be part of my life.

Karen, Greek islands sailing

Ilenia – Kilimanjaro

WOW! I’m not sure how to translate into words how amazing and empowering my experience has been!

I joined the Kilimanjaro climb and Safari extension organised by Mar & Meg and it was a truly memorable adventure. I highly recommend this trip, every single detail is well taken care of, and in doing so Mar and Meg make sure to support local women and their business. In Tanzania Solo Female Travelers has been supporting Adventure Women Africa and The Tanzania Women Guides Foundation to promote female guides and provide employment opportunities for women in tourism in Tanzania.

Indeed, our climb was led by Glory, together with Happiness, Anna, Jackline, and a supporting team of female and male porters. They treated us like family, made sure we were well taken care of and supported us every step of the way, literally and metaphorically! 

It was the trip of a lifetime and I can’t wait to book my next adventure!

I recently returned from an adventure in Morocco curated by Solo Female Travellers and our incredible guide, Mariam.

This trip has redefined the gold standard of travel for me! Every detail was considered and managed brilliantly, with poise and professionalism and good humour! We explored endlessly, ate and drank to our hearts’ content (thanks to Mar and Mariam for the GF options!), luxuriated in quality accommodations and, most importantly, made lasting friendships.
I travel frequently, but this was a trip I will never forget!

Special thanks to the ever-patient and creative Anastasia, our photographer. Also huge thanks to all the amazing women in Morocco working in the tourism sector who shared their strength, beauty and culture with us, including the gifted and amazing Mariam!
Solo Female Travellers has reinvented how I travel – thank you for all you do!!❤️

Carol – Morocco

What an experience it was in Cuba! Going to support the locals, especially the women who accomplish so much through community projects, their craft, and their businesses, was such a meaningful to way to engage in the culture.

Of course, I have to mention: the delicious food and drinks, the fun activities, and the beautiful sights across the country.

Yummet is THE best! Thanks SFT & Mar for this ❤️

Frances – Cuba

I just got back from the Greece sailing trip and don’t think I can find the words to describe what a magical time I had. Mar, Meg and Stella did such a fabulous job planning and executing this adventure for us…down to the very last detail. I had so many moments that I’ll remember forever and I’ve made some life long friends. They packed the trip with so many once in a lifetime moments that I couldn’t have planned myself. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone thinking of booking with Solo Female Travelers do it. In fact, I’ve already booked my next trip with them to Tanzania for next year!

Rachael – Greek islands Sailing

This is my first solo trip and I can’t be happier.

The tour is very organized and well paced; fellow travelers were fun and friendly.. I can’t ask for a better tour leader than Laura. She checked all the boxes for being a good tour guide: organized, friendly, knowledgeable. But what impressed me most is her passion about the Almafi coast and the way of life there. She brought joy with her to the tour and that’s just precious

Alice – Amalfi Coast

I just returned from a tour of Iceland with solo female travelers club. This was my first ever trip with a group. I highly recommend it.

Getting to Know all of the special women on this tour was amazing. I have new friends for life.The tour was very organized. We saw many things in a very short amount of time. The accommodations Were very nice and in great locations. The activities and guides were outstanding. I am already planning my next trip

Donna – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I can’t put into words how incredible this trip was! I was fortunate to have both Meg and Mar on my Greece Sailing Trip. They are both wonderful humans who have such good hearts and inspiring visions!

The trip itself was fantastic! It was nice to unpack and not have to keep re-packing the whole trip to move new places. The boat just shows up at a new port when you wake up! The sights, excursions, activities and the FOOD were amazing.

But interestingly, it wasn’t Greece that made the trip unforgettable, it was the WONDERFUL people I met and became friends with. I met so many amazing women with similar passions and who I know will become life long friends. I can’t recommend a trip with Solo Female Travelers strongly enough! Go solo! Take the leap…then watch the net appear.

It was the trip of a lifetime and I can’t wait to book my next adventure!

Kristen – Greek Islands sailing

When I first signed up for the Tanzania Value tour, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I can now say that this trip was over and above anything I could have expected.

The accommodations were beyond amazing, with the most beautiful farmhouses, camps and resorts. Our guides, Glory, Elizabeth, and Renata made this even more exceptional, by taking care of us and directing us with their expert driving and animal spotting on the incredible safari drives through Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and the Serengeti – I will never get over how many animals we saw!

Ending the trip with some beach and culture in Zanzibar was just icing on the cake!

Hannah – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

My name is Yummet. I am a Cuba tour guide.
I remember when I first met Mar. She came to Cuba organizing these trips. I didn’t know Anything about Mar and Meg’s company, its goals. When Mar explained to me the intention was to bring solo Female Travelers to Cuba to help empowering women with their visit to their business or by requesting their services I got really excited. It is not a secret for anybody the hard economic and consequently, social situation right now; in a context where women are the most affected. Imagine how Happy I was when Mar allowed me to be part of this.
And here I am, dealing with the different cultures of our solo Female visitors, and becoming more self sufficient and loving myself more.
So far I have had the opportunity of guiding two trips and both have been wonderful! I Hope we go for more. Thank you SFTravelers!!!!

Yummet – Cuba guide

My first solo female travelers tour. What a great time! Meg and Mar have created quite a remarkable format for fun. I went to the Amalfi Coast and met so many great people. Laura is the host for this trip and I really enjoyed her stories and information about the area. She was also very supportive of me. (I should have been training for stairs before I went but she had my back and it all worked out in the end.)
The tours and activities were all amazing of course, but my favorite times were the times when we could all connect with each other. What amazing women these tours attract!
I enjoyed it so much I have booked another tour and am so excited! Highly highly recommended

Jules – Amalfi Coast

I can’t put into words how incredible this trip was! I was fortunate to have both Meg and Mar on my Greece Sailing Trip. They are both wonderful humans who have such good hearts and inspiring visions! The trip itself was fantastic! It was nice to unpack and not have to keep re-packing the whole trip to move new places. The boat just shows up at a new port when you wake up! The sights, excursions, activities and the FOOD were amazing. But interestingly, it wasn’t Greece that made the trip unforgettable, it was the WONDERFUL people I met and became friends with. I met so many amazing women with similar passions and who I know will become life long friends. I can’t recommend a trip with Solo Female Travelers strongly enough! Go solo! Take the leap…then watch the net appear.

Kristen – Greek islands Sailing

I just returned from a tour of Iceland with solo female travelers club. This was my first ever trip with a group. I highly recommend it.

Getting to Know all of the special women on this tour was amazing. I have new friends for life.The tour was very organized. We saw many things in a very short amount of time. The accommodations Were very nice and in great locations. The activities and guides were outstanding. I am already planning my next trip

Donna – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I just got back from the Tanzania Value tour! Glory was an excellent safari guide and overall guide on the trip. Our additional guides on the trip were friendly and knowledgable as well 🙂 We saw wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, hyenas, crocodiles, zebras, leopards, hippos, baboons, many types of birds….and the highlight of the trip- a cheetah and her cubs AND so many lions and lion cubs!!! I had so much fun taking pictures on the trip. The accommodations on the trip were beyond my expectations. Zanzibar was beautiful and a welcome rest after 5 days of safari. I took advantage of the excursions available on the island including the Jozani Forest to see monkeys endemic to the island, snorkeling at the blue lagoon, and later a spice tour and cooking class at a spice farm. It was a trip I will never forget and all the girls on the trip became fast friends!

Lisa – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

Morocco was my second trip with Solo Female Travelers, and I am so happy I found Mar & Meg’s company.

This trip was so amazing and curated beautifully. You can instantly tell that each hotel, guide, meal, and activity were thoughtfully chosen to highlight what Morocco has to offer. Mariam was the ultimate guide. She brought great energy everyday and her passion for her country made everything better. She simply knew everyone, had secret adventures for us at every stop, and definitely made sure we all were taken care of.

Moroccans are friendly and every city guide and woman we met were proud to share their story. The colors of Morocco are incredible, from the orange of the Sahara to the bright blues of Chefchaouen. While it is hard to choose what was the best part but riding a camel in the desert and watching the sunset was a highlight for me. I cannot forget to mention how great it was traveling with 10 women who are no longer strangers. Once again Mar, thank you. Hmmmmm now where will I go with SFT next? Egypt? Tanzania? Antarctica? Or all three!!! See you soon!

Denise – Morocco Sights & sounds

I have been on two trips with the group so far and have had a good time and made new friends. The accommodations and itinerary are as advertised and the organizers are very open to receiving feedback. The community and vibe on the trips is warm and friendly for every trip and I’ve made friends that I will keep in touch with!

Michelle – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness and Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I joined the Barcelona / Costa Brava trip and it was a magical experience to say the least. Mar is so passionate about what she does and it shows. I met some incredible women, all who made me feel safe and whom I had the best time with! It was a wonderfully curated trip and I am already booking another 🙂

Hannah – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I have been on 2 SFT trips and was so incredibly happy with both I have already booked a third! Meg and Mar do such a fantastic job curating the itinerary, hotels and guides that it truly feels like being a kid again with no responsibilities and just enjoying the experience. I have made so many memories and friendships that you can’t get anywhere else and look forward to more trips. Don’t hesitate, book the trip and see the world with incredible women!!!!

Abby Gail – Barcelona & Beyond

Andrea, Tuscany

I just returned from the Tuscany trip and what an adventure it was! I highly recommend. We packed a lot into the week, and I chose to spend a few days in Florence before meeting up with the group. I suggest arriving in advance so that you can to adjust to the time and explore this vibrant and beautiful city.

For me, the best part of the Tuscany trip was meeting and sharing meals at the homes, farms and vineyards of local residents throughout the Chianti region.

Such kind and gracious people who love to share their family histories. Such warmth and love, pride and respect for the land. And, long leisurely meals with wine and laughter outdoors overlooking the gorgeous scenery.

Angie, Glam Venice

I’ve been on two tours with SFT (Sudan and Egypt) and I can’t say enough good things about them. Their tours are safe, professional, and so much fun! You won’t regret traveling with them.

Maureen – Egypt

Wonderful group of women in Tuscany!

The trip was full of activities and just enough down town. All the women were delightful to get to know. I will travel again with this well run organization!

Jacque – Florence & Tuscany

Amazing trip that was an immersive experience. Our guide, Yummet, was open to discussing any questions about life in Cuba and it made the trip a once in a lifetime experience!

Jennifer – Cuba

The Greek sailing trip was stunning. Every detail was carefully and lovingly planned and executed. The food ! The restaurants! The swimming! The learning! The dancing ! Most of all: the people !

Karmit – Greek Islands

Had a great time in the tour. First time using an all female group tour and it was pleasant experience as everyone was friendly and supportive. Had amazing food and saw some great sites. The guides were very nice and knowledgeable

Martiza – Sensual Barcelona

I just came back from the Tanzania value tour, after having already joined the tour to Iceland back in October. I can highly recommend both tours. Every single day was a highlight. There is nothing i would change about the itinerary, accommodation or food.

Jenni, Iceland Wellness & Wilderness and Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Best trip ever! From the greetings at the airport to the hospitality experienced throughout Tanzania to the AMAZING job by Mar, Glory and our guides, everything was just perfect! I don’t think I have ever met stronger, capable, intelligent and genuinely nice women than the leaders of this group. Oh, and then there were the animals! So many, including baby elephants, lions and cheetahs! Can’t wait to book my next adventure!

Martha – Tanzania Luxe safari + Zanzibar

I’ve been on two tours with SFT (Sudan and Egypt) and I can’t say enough good things about them. Their tours are safe, professional, and so much fun! You won’t regret traveling with them.

Maureen – Egypt

My first experience with solo female travellers was great!

I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on International Women’s Day with their all women team and crew. Glory and the team are amazing. If you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro I would highly recommend this team.

100% of us made it to the summit (also in the previous years group) which is incredible as success rate is only 60/70%. But that’s what happens when you’ve got the support of incredible women.

Solo Female travellers also donate some of the money to support the local women.

Johanna – Kilimanjaro climb

I recently travelled with SFT to Barcelona and beyond, and it has taken me a week to try to put into words my experience.

Wow.. everyone has been asking me what my favourite part of the trip was and I’m struggling to answer that question.
The whole trip was wonderful and 5+ * from start to finish, the food, the wines, the cava, exquisite accomodations, wonderful tourist attractions led by wonderful Ariadna our tour guide for the whole week.
Photos captured all week by amazingly sweet Beth.. can’t wait to see the finished product.
Meg and Mar the creators of SFT you saw a vision for solo women in travel and the passion you show for and towards your company is top notch.
I can’t wait to travel with you again, the friendships created during these trips are also fabulous and lifelong, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet them all!
Thank you so much for the best trip of my life(so far!!).

Cheryl – Barcelona & beyond

I had the opportunity to go on the Sensual Barcelona trip to celebrate my birthday and it was AMAZING. 100% recommend traveling with Mar and Meg.

Katie – Sex-Ed Barcelona

Another amazing experience with so many thoughtful touches, one of a kind experiences, and much needed pampering too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new adventure. You will get to know yourself better and make new friends for life.

Tina, Greek Islands sailing

This was an absolutely amazing experience that I will remember forever!

Nikki – Greek Islands sailing

The Croatia and Montenegro trip was amazing! I can’t recommend Solo Female Travelers enough. The local guide, Nika was very knowledgeable and helpful. I’m planning on traveling with them again in 2024. 10 gold stars and two thumbs up!

Sarah – Croatia & Montenegro

I just returned home from Solo Female Travelers’ June 2024 Tanzania Value Tour, and I don’t have the words to describe how amazing this trip was.

Our guides – Glory, Elizabeth and Renata – were wonderful. They took us on safaris in Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti and we saw so many animals.

Our sightings included leopards lying in trees, baby cheetahs playing, hyenas hunting, vultures descending on a carcass, buffaloes eating outside our tents in the middle of the night, ostriches doing their mating dance, wildebeest and zebras enjoying watering holes, agama lizards and crocodiles sunbathing, and so so much more. Even though we were on the Value tour and not the Luxe tour the accommodations all felt like we were on the luxury tour – they were some of the fanciest places I’ve stayed at. But the best part of the whole trip was definitely the amazing, funny, interesting women that I got to share this experience with.

So, if you’re thinking of doing a solo trip or are interested in doing any kind of trip to Africa, I highly recommend the Tanzania Value tour with Solo Female Travelers. I also highly recommend choosing the balloon safari add-on – it’s magical!

Courtney – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I just got back from the Greek Islands sailing trip. I really have no words for just how fantastic the trip was!

I was so excited when I found a group for solo travelers because it fits so perfectly with where I am in my life plus I love their values and everything they stand for. Meg and Mar are very hands on in planning and executing every detail of all of their trips; which not only makes them amazing, I think is pretty rare these days.

The communication about details and logistics before the trip were very clear and organized. I met so many amazing people, Including Meg and Mar that I never would have otherwise. There were quite a few people that have already done several trips with them and they all had wonderful things to say about the trips and the company.
The only problem I have now is deciding which trip is next!

Britt – Greek Islands sailing

This is my first solo trip and I can’t be happier.

The tour is very organized and well paced; fellow travelers were fun and friendly.. I can’t ask for a better tour leader than Laura. She checked all the boxes for being a good tour guide: organized, friendly, knowledgeable. But what impressed me most is her passion about the Almafi coast and the way of life there. She brought joy with her to the tour and that’s just precious

Alice – Amalfi Coast

Laura – Greek islands sailing

My third trip with this group! Can’t commend enough, nothing is too much trouble! Every trip is well thought out, with expert women playing all the key roles. Absolutely cannot leave without talking about Glory, our tour leader, guide, driver, problem solver-in chief for Tanzania trip! Great guide, true local knowledge and helping to train in new women into the industry! Go girls!

Sara – Tanzania Value safari + Zanzibar

I cant say enough about how much I enjoyed this trip! First off, Maria was fabulous, she was so knowledgeable and helpful. She was so accommodating if we needed anything or had questions. Every day was a different experience and I loved them all. Anna and Sylvia were such good hosts, the villa was beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious. 

The experiences I had were ones that will stay with me for quite some time!  Again, thank you for providing women with the chance to partake in such amazing adventures!

Nancy – Florence & Tuscany

Earlier this month, I enjoyed another seamless travel experience with Solo Female Travelers. I joined amazing women of all ages and backgrounds to tour Florence, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast – we enjoyed the incredible scenery, amazing food and wine, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences (truffle hunting! opera at dinner! foraging/cooking in Amalfi!), and sharing them with these women was truly the highlight. Our local guides, Maria (Tuscany) and Laura (Amalfi) were so passionate about sharing their love for their home cities/country, and made sure that we got as much out of our time as possible.

SFT trips are well planned and organized, with no detail left unaddressed. As a testament – I have 3 more trips booked with them over the next 14 months!

Maureen – Greek Islands sailing, Florence & Tuscany and Amalfi Coast, Christmas markets

I honestly can’t thank my lucky stars enough for finding Solo Female Travelers.

Mar and Meg are an amazing team—they genuinely care about their customers. From the moment you inquire about joining a trip, you will feel the personal attention they take with each guest.

Their values of using local female guides and empowering local women-led businesses is what attracted me to them. I stayed for the exquisitely researched and curated itineraries. It’s clear that their goal is to create unforgettable experiences for every traveler, making each trip better than the last.

I went on four trips as the trip photographer: Barcelona, Tuscany, Morocco and Scotland. I can’t wait for many more!

Anastasia – Florence & Tuscany, Morocco, Scotland

One of the best trips I have ever been on. Wonderful sites, food and a great and knowledgeable guide. She gave us so much color and history to everyone of our stops. The women I traveled with were the best.

Barbara, Barcelona & Beyond

Iceland was amazing and truly exceeded my expectations! The tour guide (Sigga) was phenomenal in both her expertise and pleasant nature. She explored nooks and crannies we would have missed by our own selves. The Solo Female Travelers tour is designed to ensure that no corner of Iceland is left untouched. It was a great mix of both tourist and local discoveries. Every day was my favorite until the next day! I am indebted and look forward to the next trip to Greece this May! 10/10 recommend

Caroline – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I just got back from Egypt with Solo Female Travelers. It was magical! Highly recommend the destination and company. Very well curated trip, attention to detail and best local guide.

Amy – Egypt

This was a wonderful once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Glory our leader was very attentive and adjusted when it was required. The other drivers and guides were also top notch. I would be happy and honoured to go on another one of their tours

Joan – Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Just finished a safari with Solo Travelers. Although I was one of eight who already knew each other, it was great getting to know the other women on the tour. Glory was tenacious about making sure we were front and centre and the team was superb. It was a sense of pride to see these women fighting the norm in a male dominated society. The accommodations and meals were excellent and I highly recommend SFT.

Kathy, Tanzania Luxe safari & Zanzibar

Just got home from Australia and what a trip!! 100% recommend it! The places we saw, the places we stayed at and the things we did was all perfect, the care and thought that has been put into this tour is unreal! ❤️ it exceeded all expectations!! I will definitely be booking more trips with them 🥰🥰

Sandra – Australia

Had an amazing tour of Iceland with this group last week. Great itinerary and group of people. Our tour guide, Sigga, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, personable, extremely capable, and handled all of our needs. Meg and Mar were also wonderful and responsive and I would 100% book another tour through SFT!

Gina – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Recently enjoyed the luxe Tanzania trip and was completely delighted with everything. I love the heart that Mar and Meg put into the planning of each trip. The hotels were stunning, the service amazing, the itinerary was outstanding and we saw so many animals on the game drives really close to our vehicle. Glory is an amazing tour leader. Highly recommend

Kathi – Tanzania Luxe safari & Zanzibar

I went on the safari trip with Solo Female Travelers as a budding photographer – it was a life changing experience! I am so grateful to have had this opportunity, as an artist a bit burnt by the routine of wedding photography, this trip was just what I needed to be excited about what I do again.

Being so close to wildlife in their natural environment is something that every human should experience! And the fact that I got to travel and bond with other amazing women while having the best experiences curated for us was invaluable.

Tatiana – Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

“The Iceland SFT tour was amazing! 

Our guide, Sigga, was the absolute best — funny, super informative, an amazing person, and kept us updated on our schedule daily, including a summary of all the bathroom opportunities for the day (super helpful for females on a driving trip!). 

We had a great time and I loved all the women that were on our trip!  I even made a new friend and we have booked an upcoming SFT tour together.  

Iceland is stunning, the landscape is incredible and vast, and the tour covers all the different Icelandic landscapes, including ice and heat.  The beauty of the Glacier Lagoon is indescribable! 

We got to learn about Icelandic culture and folklore from a local, visit an amazing female sheep farmer, who personally cooked us lunch in her kitchen, and got to experience unique aspects of the country as well as all the major sights.  I cannot recommend SFT tours enough and Iceland is stunning! “

Jen – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness, Tanzania Luxe safari & Zanzibar

Inspiring women and a wonderful trip. Glory knows where all the good spots are and she will make sure you see the all the animals you came to see.

Stacy, Tanzania Value safari & Zanzibar

Morocco was the trip of a lifetime. Mariam, our guide, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, had great depth and insight into the journey of women in Morocco. She was joyous, spontaneous and still super organized with attention to every detail. Accommodations and food were first rate. Many engagements with local women made this trip unparalleled. My first trip with Mar Solo and I will definitely go again!

Linda – Morocco

A trip of a lifetime! Everything was beautifully coordinated for our Tanzania Luxe adventure. And our guide, Glory, was absolutely fabulous. I can’t wait to book my next trip!

Amanda – Tanzania Luxe safari & Zanzibar

Starting and ending a small group trip at a castle was perfect for me. I got to know Scotland through our excellent guide, Naomi. The trip priceless and the whole experience well planned. Our time on the road was filled with history, naps for a few, chatter and information about women of Scotland. Road delays and a power outage were dealt with, food and accommodation were very good. I loved our small group and would travel with SFT again.

Erin – Scotland

My latest adventure, Iceland! Spending it with 14 lovely women in a Solo Female Travelers tour! So much fun and Iceland is just stunning! Highly recommend if you like being outdoors. We were so lucky to have beautiful sunny weather

Linda – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

I’ve been on 2 trips with SFT now and have just booked my 3rd. And I’ve had a ball, the trips are well thought out, the places we stay are beautiful and the things we do are fabulous. I’ve just come back from the Tanzania trip, which was my bucket list trip, and it didn’t disappoint. We saw all the animals you’d expect, even tho the rhino was only a distant speck, we still saw him! I’ve met so many wonderful ladies on the trips and I’ve started traveling with them too. I’m looking forward to seeing where they go next so I can work out my 2026 holidays.

Rookie – Tanzania Luxe Safari & Zanzibar

I had a wonderful experience on Solo Female Travelers’ Australia trip. The sights, scenery, and food were fabulous, but honestly I would have had an incredible time with this company no matter where the trip took place. They put so much care and attention into each detail of their trips, from the lodging to the experiences (every hotel we stayed at was amazing), and the nature of this company tends draw a clientele of women who are easy to travel with.

I particularly loved the small group size, and the fact that I always knew someone else was taking care of all the arrangements to make sure everything was running smoothly. I could just let go and have fun with no cares.

There were only a couple of women on our trip who were not repeat customers of Solo Female Travelers, and I can see why. I’m already planning my next trip!

Lorri – Australia

My daughter and I went on the Venice and Amalfi trip. This was a vacation of a lifetime!
We had a fantastic time!
The way you planned all our meals and excursions was amazing! You can tell how much time and effort went into each trip!
Our guide for both trips was Laura. She was the best. So accommodating, always making sure everyone had what they needed.
I was traveling with a boot and she always made sure I was comfortable and anytime she could provide transportation for me she would.
I can’t thank you and Laura enough!
If I could give 10 stars I would!
Thank you so much for this memory!!

Jill – Amalfi Coast

A dream fulfilled! I researched many tour options when planning my lifelong goal to explore Egypt. When I found Solo Female Travelers they rose straight to the top. And the reality of the tour was even better than the dream.

Our small group bonded quickly as we explored astonishing ancient sites (King Tut’s tomb!) and adventurous delights (hot air balloon!). There was a good mix of energetic activity and time to relax at the gorgeous hotels where we stayed. Our Egyptologist guide was a star, helping us understand the ancient world and current realities with great enthusiasm and flair.

We were fortunate to have co-founder Mar and professional photographer Beth with us on the tour, each adding layers of insight and expertise. And very special for me was that my childhood friend Melissa joined me on the tour. What a way to celebrate our many years of friendship and create new memories together! Throughout the adventure, we all felt a spirit of fun, camaraderie, exploration, learning and joy. I’m already planning my next trip with Solo Female Travelers!

Laura – Egypt

This entire trip was amazing. Traveling with a group of women I didn’t know seemed a little crazy at first, but honestly that was the best part!

Glory, our guide, was so knowledgeable and took care of everything. She went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see the animals… and we were able to get so close.

On top of the obvious Safari experience, all of our accommodations were spectacular!

I will 100% travel with Solo Female Travelers again in the future. If you are hesitating, don’t… book the trip and get ready for this remarkable team to totally Wow you!

Janine – Tanzania Luxe safari & Zanzibar

I had a wonderful experience on Solo Female Travelers’ Australia trip. The sights, scenery, and food were fabulous, but honestly I would have had an incredible time with this company no matter where the trip took place.

Lorri, Australia

I returned from the Tanzania Luxe trip with SFT just a week ago and the “WOW” factor continues! The trip was amazing in so many ways. Glory, our guide, knew exactly where to find all the animals up close. She greeted us at the airport by letting us know we would be treated “like princesses” and she did not fail in taking great care of us. The tour’s itinerary provided us with the beautiful scenery of Tanzania – Ngorongoro Crater was gorgeous and ALL of the accommodations were true luxury; we certainly felt like royalty! This was my second trip with SFT having gone to Iceland last year (another highly recommended fabulous trip:). On both trips I have so enjoyed the camaraderie between women on this trip (love the small group cap on the number of travelers); I even joined a friend I made on last year’s Iceland trip on this Tanzania trip. I am so pleased with SFT’s commitment to making women’s travel easy and fulfilling while supporting women businesses that I’m already narrowing down my 3rd trip with them!

Sandra – Tanzania Luxe safari & Zanzibar

Iceland has been on my bucket list for a long time. I was expecting my trip to Iceland to be incredible, but my trip with Solo Female Travelers far exceeded my expectations. I loved the itinerary – all the waterfalls, the ice cave, walking on a glacier, the zodiac tour in Glacier Lagoon, the lava fields, the Blue Lagoon. We saw so much over 1 week, and I couldn’t pick a favorite day. It was also a great group of ladies. Everyone was easy to talk to and interested in making it a great trip. And I can’t say enough about our guide Sigga. She’s amazing! It’s obvious she loves her home, and she did such a wonderful job sharing it with us for a week. And she went the extra mile, adding interesting stops and facts each day. I’d definitely recommend this trip!

Rachel – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

ICELAND!! What an amazing 8 days it was. This was my very first female solo travel trip and I was really nervous. Sigga my guide for the week was amazing, she was so knowledgeable about everything Iceland, was funny and always took time to answer questions or point out different things along our travels that were so fascinating. I never felt nervous or scared to be so far away from my home and family. The entire group of ladies made me feel so welcomed and I literally could not stop smiling the entire time I was there. Iceland will forever have a place in my heart and I plan on coming back for more adventures!!!

Lindsey – Iceland Wellness & Wilderness

Truly a once in a lifetime experience, don’t hesitate to book, you will NOT regret it! We got to see so many parts of Cuba and experience everything from classic car rides to local cooking classes, beach days and beyond. The whole tour was so well planned out and all the women that went were really lovely and up for a good laugh!

Mar, Yummet and Anya took care of us so well, leading with joy and positivity – they made the trip that extra bit special 🙂 All in all, I’m so glad I went and look forward to more trips with Solo Female Travelers in the future x

Beth – Cuba, Egypt, Christmas markets

Let me start this review by saying Naomi is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! We could not have asked for a better guide to lead our Scottish adventure. Not only is Naomi an absolute blast to be with, she has a wealth of knowledge on the Scottish culture, the history and how women played a real and important part in all of this. She also has the skill to keep 12 women on time and engaged!

I do most of my travel solo so that I am not on anyone else’s schedule and my freedom to go wherever I want. This was a bit out of my comfort zone to be committed to a schedule and have so many other personalities around me, BUT I really did love it! I met some great women and I enjoyed hearing everyone’s very different and interesting stories.
The intinerary was great! We were able to see so many sights, have some very cool experiences and see a great deal of the Scottish landscape, which I was really excited for.

I am not truly sure what my favorite sight or experience was. Almost everything in Scotland is absolutely stunning to see in person and the deep and rich history is captivating. Being at Glenfinnan and watching the Jacobite train (Harry Potter train for you Potter heads) going across the viaduct on the most perfect sunny day is pretty high up there along with having a night full of the best belly laughs as a few of us (tried) experienced some Scottish “nightlife”. The support of women owned/run businesses was an added extra that made me feel great about where my money was going. If you are on the fence, just do it! You will be enthralled. I will absolutely be booking another adventure with SFT.

I have also decided that I will be back in Scotland to walk the West Highland Way. I walked a very short piece of the WHW. (2 miles approx) on our second night at the Kingshouse in the Scottish rain and fog. It was haunting and magical. I think I was in a fairy glen.

I really loved the Skyeskyns tannery as well. A beautiful small business doing right by the environment and the sheep. The setting was almost too beautiful to take in.

I have not met Mar & Meg, but kudos for a great itinerary and choosing the best woman for the job as guide, Naomi. I am excited for my next destination with SFT. With no reservation whatsoever!

Maria – Scotland

Fabulous trip with fabulous ladies! The SFT to Morocco was much more than I expected. Mariam, our guide, is very professional, knowledgeable, warm and funny. She excelled in every way meeting all our needs,
The places we went to were always interesting and the women we met were inspiring. We learned a lot about Moroccan culture.
I am planning to travel with SFT again without any doubt!

Beatriz, Morocco

Just returned from my first trip with SFT: Australia; Sydney, Uluru, Cairns and Melbourne. Had the most amazing time! Mar and Meg made the trip worry free, so that I could enjoy every aspect of my experience. The other women who traveled as a part of this tour, made the trip even more memorable. Thank you Mar and Meg for making my dream vacation a reality!

Deb – Australia

#solofemaletravelers planned a wonderful eye opening experience. The architecture, food, cigars, rum and salsa were all on point and Yummet was a wonderfully patient and exuberant host. Highly recommend this trip to Cuba!

Angela – Cuba

Beautifully crafted itinerary to every little detail. Mar and Meg, along with all of the female guides, do an outstanding job of making sure your vacation is one to be remembered for a lifetime. Don’t wait! Just book it. You won’t regret it!

Tara – Christmas markets

Cuba has long been on my list of places to go, and I finally went with SFT in February 2025. When asked where I would rate this trip in all my travels, it’s easily top 2 or 3. The focus on women – both travelers and proprieters of places we visited; a full, yet balanced, agenda marrying education and fun; the small group size which made everything feel more intimate and personalized; and authenticity – from our Cuban guide sharing personal stories to experiencing the occasional blackout … this trip exceeded expectations. This was only my second time traveling with a tour company, and I chose to do so with Cuba because, unlike other countries to which I’ve traveled, it appeared quite challenging to navigate all the rules, regulations and restrictions myself. I chose SFT because they provided a lot of that information up front on their website and during a one-on-one call. In addition to that, after booking, SFT provided everything from group networking (via Facebook and WhatsApp) to suggested packing lists! Well, well done, SFT!

I just spent a week in Oaxaca, Mexico over New Year’s with Solo Female Travelers, our guide Lily, and a wonderful group of women.

I am an independent solo female traveler (@travelalongwithtaryn), who has extensive experience planning my own domestic and international adventures. With all the destinations I have on my bucket list, Oaxaca was at the top. And it was a destination that I didn’t want to visit and experience alone.

Previously having a negative experience with a different group travel company in 2023, I was nervous to book another group trip, but I wanted to give this method of travel another shot. Reading through all of the five star reviews with repeat clients, following Solo Female Travelers for several years on social media and receiving Mar and Meg’s informative newsletters, I had a hunch that they had a well oiled machine. I was also drawn to book with them because of their efforts to support, empower and promote female owned small businesses and women in the travel industry.

I was immediately impressed with the professional and quick responses to my questions before and after booking as well as the amount of details we received prior to the trip to set expectations. I am well travelled, and it takes alot to impress me.

Our week in Oaxaca, Mexico was nothing short of amazing. Everything about this trip (and it was a launch trip for Oaxaca for SFT!) was flawlessly executed. Mar and our guide Lily (@zapotectravelbylily), worked hard to build out the well planned itinerary, and it showed. Lily’s passion for her Zapotec culture, and the relationships she has with all of the artisans and women we met throughout our trip, touched me so deeply. It was SO special to be a part of and participate in such culturally immersive activities which had a huge positive impact on the women that shared their talents with our group throughout the week.

The group of women on this trip were all amazing. We shared endless amounts of food, laughs, emotions, dancing, mezcal and best of all, lifelong memories. Meg, Mar and Lily, THANK YOU for the incredible positive imprint you and Oaxaca have left on my heart. This was my first Solo Female Travelers trip, and it certainly will not be my last.

A wonderfully organized tour with an exceptional group of women to visit the beautiful Christmas Markets in Europe. We couldn’t have asked for a better group leader and local guides. If this has been on your Bucket List, then sign up for 2025. You won’t regret it!

Just went on the Tanzania/Zanzibar trip, and wow! What an incredible time! The trip and experience was once in a lifetime, but with our amazing guides and drivers, it could not have been better. I had so much fun and saw such awe inspiring landscapes, beautiful animals, and learned so much. We saw everything!!!
Not only was the trip wonderful, but I am so grateful to have been a part of the incredible work that Solo Female Travelers does to help inspire, promote, and empower women in the travel industry all over the world. They are changing lives, ya’ll! Our guide, Glory was a BOSS, and our guides and drivers, Jasmine, Rachel, and Renalda were so fun and knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better experience and I can’t wait to get to take a trip with them again!

Wonderful experience with Solo Female Travelers to Oaxaca, Mexico. Enjoyed all the other women and Lily Palma, our tour guide was fun, entertaining and very insightful.

I had the best experience traveling with Solo Female Travelers on the Christmas Market Tour. It was well planned and each day brought great new experiences. From the female tour guides, the opportunity to stay in hotels that were run or owned by females and visiting restaurants and markets stalls that were owned by women were all so empowering. It was incredible to experience, in person, the women that are bringing these amazing experiences to the world for all to enjoy. Thank you to Mar and Meg for creating these special tours!

This was my first time traveling with Solo Female Travelers and I’m sure it will not be my last. From the beginning to the end I felt comfortable with the process and the people. I joined the Tanzania trip with the Kilimanjaro hike and the added safari. The entire trip was like a dream come true. Glory, our lead guide, is an inspiration! Her main goal was to get all 5 of us on the trip to the summit and we did it! I’m not going to lie, it was very difficult at times and I found myself questioning some of the methods, but after the success of the climb I can see why our abilities were tested. I never once felt unsafe or unseen. The celebration with the whole team at the end was just a perfect way to bring everything full circle. The safari part of the trip was absolutely phenomenal! It exceeded my expectations on all levels. Glory was an amazing host/driver and the accommodations along the way were superb. I would recommend this trip to anyone! The only sad part is that it’s over! Thank you so much for the life changing memories!

This was the first time I chose to go on a trip with a group and it was a great experience. Group travel can often go wrong either due to poor planning or when you don’t get on with Group members. I had no such issues. The trip was planned with immaculate detail. Our guide Yummet kept an eye on us throughout and it was not just a visit doing touristic things and visiting sites. It was exactly what I would love to do: experiencing life just like the locals. From vintage car rides, to visiting seamstresses, making soaps, hiking at Vinales and tasting coffee, cigar rolling, cooking lessons and salsa dancing- we did it ALL!!

I cannot recommend this trip enough. For me it was extra-special because it was like stepping into tje 1950s (which I can only see in the movies), with simple lifestyle, empty roads, organic food and vintage cars!!

Don’t forget to take as much donations as possible! It’s never enough and you can use that extra space with goodies to bring back.

Wow, run, don’t walk to join a tour with Solo Female Travelers!! What a transformative experience. I spent New Years Eve 2024 / 25 with the group in Oaxaca.

Oaxaca itself is absolutely amazing, but with this group we had all the inside access to local, women-owned, craft markets with so much contextual insights and delightful people. From the markets, the archeological sites, weavers, carvers, cooks, pottery, mezcal – I feel like I got to see so much of what the community is made of. And then it’s all the little details – everything was on time, comfortable, I don’t eat meat and they always took care of me.

The women who joined on the tour were varying ages, but each one had the same intention of supporting women owned businesses and a desire to learn more about the Zapotec community. I’ve now made new friends!

Words cannot describe what this trip to Florence and Tuscany meant to me with Solo Female Travellers Group. It was a wonderful experience with a beautiful group of women from various countries. Our tour organizer Mar, was a pleasure to be with during the trip and helped us with all of our questions and anything that needed accommodation. Anyone we met for that matter was very generous, kind and helpful. The itinerary was superb and curated ever so nicely for a cultured experience of the region; from driving through it’s landscape, visiting medieval villages and hearing about their history, learning about wine, olive oil, cheese (and eating it!), going truffle hunting and cooking in a local kitchen to make a meal from scratch to enjoy. The list is endless but has filled me with precious memories for years to come. Just book it!“

The Christmas Market tour was amazing in every way! This tour that Mar and Meg put together included beautiful hotels, easy transportation, spending time with local female guides who took us to their favorite spots, a bit of free time at each stop, and a fun group of friends to travel with. Not to mention the European Christmas charm which is magical! I learned so much about the history and culture and I wish we could do it all over again! Everything was so seamless and wonderful, I’ll be signing up for another tour with SFT ASAP — Thank you!!

Molly – Christmas markets

I booked on a whim at the last minute and had no idea what to expect. Expect cold weather, beautiful scenery, great food and fabulous natural sights. The highlight for me was the people who were also on the trip, we were all strangers to start with and we ended up as friends, with people in ages ranging from 30 to 70! I loved it.

I travelled with Yummet as our guide in Cuba in March of 2025. It was the most life-changing experience I have ever had.

Cuba of course is not an easy place to navigate, and the trip was curated so we felt welcomed and at ease at every moment- often too pampered in my opinion! If you have ever wondered what Cuba is like, I encourage you to go and experience it for yourself.

The Cuban people are extremely warm, welcoming and eager to share their fascinating culture. We as travelers should do everything we can to support them and help improve their lives in any way that is possible. Take donations (medicines, supplies, etc.) with you and be prepared to have your eyes opened as to what is happening there, and have an amazing, fun and educational experience. Thank you, Yummet!

Megan – Cuba

This experience was excellently planned and developed! The places we went to, the interactions with the wonderful women and men of Cuba were perfect! The country is beautiful, the food we ate was delicious & all organic! We could not have asked for a better experience!

I got home from the Tuscany trip about 2 weeks ago and am still marveling about what an incredible travel experience it was. I had never gone on a group tour before, and I’m so glad I signed up. The itinerary was full of amazing and unique experiences I wouldn’t have had if I’d planned my own trip — truffle hunting, visiting a cashmere goat farm, staying at a rustic B&B tucked away in central Tuscany.

Incredible wine and food, lovely accommodations. The tour guides were fabulous–charming, knowledgeable and fun. The group of women was super to travel with. I appreciated that the itinerary allowed for time to relax. I would do it all over again and am definitely planning to do another trip with Solo Female Travelers in the future.

I returned from the Barcelona/Costa Brava trip a couple of weeks ago. What a fantastic experience! Mar and Ariadne were excellent, accommodating, and knowledgeable guides. They’re very generous and go out of their way to make sure all is well. The itinerary, hotels, and especially the food were all wonderful. I loved the balance between days in Barcelona and the small villages and other places that you’re less likely to visit on your own. Go early and/or stay late to see more of Barcelona—there’s so much to see and do. I highly recommend Mar’s and Meg’s tours. And I love the company’s philosophy of promoting employment opportunities for women in each of the countries they visit.
