Among the most popular travel adventures at As You Like It Tours are our “women-only” tours. In fact, they are so popular that over 20% of our women travelers are repeat adventurers!
Here are a few reasons why:
#1 Camaraderie & Lasting Friendships
There’s a unique sense of freedom and unity that comes from traveling on a “women-only” adventure. “Come alone. Leave together. Our experience has shown that women who travel together often keep in touch, and end up traveling together – again and again, in the future.”
#2 No Pressure – Just Be Yourself
Wear what you want; do what you want. No need to impress. Because we stay in 5-star luxury homes, you can breakfast in your pjs, skip the curling iron, return to your pjs for an extra glass of wine after dinner. “Traveling with women enables you to be your best, your most adventurous, your most silly, your most relaxed, your most daring, your most unkempt. Time to simply, just be yourself.”
#3 Deeper Discovery & Learning
Women find joy in connecting with other women: “From book clubs to hiking clubs, networking groups to volunteering, women tap into each other’s’ energy when they’re together.” The same is true for travel. Exploring and discovering a new destination is rich and meaningful “when in the company of other active, inquisitive, and interesting women.”
#4 Challenge Yourself
We’re big believers in challenge by choice. Wanna hike the South West Coast Path? Bike in the Highlands? Paddleboard in St Ives? Or maybe your biggest challenge is to rest, watching the sun set over Mount’s Bay. “Adventurous women love to try new things. Whether it is mastering a new skill or activity or soaking in the fascinating trivia about a new culture, they just love challenging themselves. Women say it gives them confidence, pride of accomplishment, and a true sense of triumph. But facing challenges while surrounded by supportive women is just so much easier and a lot more fun.”
#5 Female-Focused Fun
When you are traveling with only women, you can pursue the things women enjoy and care about. “Want to take a cooking class? Check. Meet local artisans? Check. Have a discussion with local women leaders? Check. Go shopping at a local bazaar? You get the picture! We all know traveling with family and in mixed company is great, but maybe not all the time.”
