Laos Tours For Women Over 50
Laos offers a quieter kind of beauty, with temple roofs catching the morning light, Mekong sunsets, and a pace that invites you to settle in. Most of our members travel solo, and Laos makes that feel natural from the very beginning.

Why Laos Appeals To Women Who Want A Slower, Deeper Trip
Laos does not ask you to hurry. In Luang Prabang, saffron-robed monks move quietly through the streets at dawn, temple courtyards feel peaceful rather than crowded, and the Mekong becomes part of the rhythm of the day. It is an ideal destination if you want beauty, culture, and atmosphere without the intensity that can come with more heavily traveled parts of Southeast Asia.
For women over 50, that slower pace can be the whole point. You have time to notice details, whether it is the texture of woven textiles at a market, the flavor of sticky rice and laap, or the sound of the river at sunset. A small group makes it even better, because you can enjoy the calm without having to navigate the practical side of travel alone.
Laos also creates space for real connection. Solo travel feels completely welcome here, and the group often settles into an easy rhythm of shared breakfasts, temple visits, and conversations that continue long after dinner. If you are looking for a destination that feels thoughtful, grounding, and genuinely companionable, Laos has a lot to offer.
What Women Say About Our Lao People's Democratic Republic Tours
Cindy S.
4 trips
"I have met women on every trip with whom I have stayed in touch; traveled with on our own; traveled to their homes for a visit; or who have traveled to visit me at my home or my winter vacation home. These friendships have been unexpected and surprise blessing of traveling with the Tribe."

"I have been on 4 WTT trips and signed up for another one. Extremely organized, the guide and drivers treat you like a queen, and a lot of fun!!"

"Our tour leader, Sakai, was exceptional. You could see how much he cared for not only the group, but the local guides he arranged, the local economies, and the people of each area we visited. Accommodations were excellent. Transportation was also efficient and clean."
Adrianne L. R.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"The trip was a good mix of local color, crafts, and culture The group was really compatible, and we felt like sisters by the end. Both Luna and David were great as was our driver, Ricardo, who took us up into the mountains on very narrow and bumpy roads."
Katy S.
Morocco
"You don't get this on a Gate 1 tour! I have not traveled extensively...and was ambivalent about going to Morocco with Women Travel Tribe but this sums up my experience. Our guides and group were accepting and inclusive with our variety of ages, differing physical abilities, diet requirements and international travel experience. We stayed at great places, visited sites a lot of trips don’t have the opportunity to see, ate like royalty, I NEVER felt unsafe...and we cheered each other on when trying new things. The bottom line is this trip was WORTH.EVERY.PENNY."
Ellen S.
Morocco
"Tour leader Sakai and your driver are the best in business. I did trust them with my life and they both fulfilled all of the qualities needed. Sakai is brilliant. Highlights were the women's co-op or eating in homes as opposed to restaurants. But the combo of dining in both with some free time meals was perfect. At restaurants we were always served top delicious food, and accommodations were always charming. I appreciate the use of homespun lodging and not American chains. Definitely will travel with your company again. Thank you for all the energy that your company puts forth. It makes for a wonderful well rounded experience."
Anne D.
Morocco
"Our tour leader (Sakai) and driver (Ziko) made the trip what it was. They were informative, helpful, kept us moving and stuffing as many things as possible in each day of travel. I know that from the Moroccan point of view tourism was down but my observations of other travel groups in Casablanca & Marakesh was that they were more like an inflexible forced march through whatever the group was scheduled to see. The size of our group made it much easier for us to pause, take photos or investigate things further!"
Robin W.
Morocco
"Way too many favorites to choose one. But…spending time with local women crafters was such a heartwarming experience. We go to these countries not only to admire the scenery, appreciate the culture, learn the history, buy their wares but also, so important is to understand, albeit a snapshot in time, what life offers these women (and children) and exchange life experiences. We did this at the Cherry Button Coop. Together we women shared ourselves, we ate, we laughed, we teared up and we danced!"
