About Our Community
What is Women Travel Tribe? ↓
Women Travel Tribe offers small-group tours designed exclusively for women 50+. With thoughtful itineraries and trusted partners, we bring you unforgettable travel experiences in remarkable places — and an incredible group of women to share them with!
Do I have to be exactly 50 (or well over)? ↓
We welcome all women age 50 and over. That said, if you're approaching 50 and feel that our trips are the right fit for you, you're very welcome to join us.
What matters most is that you're looking to travel with a group of like-minded women and enjoy a trip filled with encouragement, camaraderie and plenty of shared memories.
Tour Basics
How many women are in each group? ↓
We keep our journeys intimate, usually around 8–12 travelers. Each tour page lists the group size for that specific departure.
Are flights included? ↓
Airfare to/from the tour destination is not included in the tour price. Many travelers prefer to choose their own flights using points or preferred airlines.
After you reserve, we share recommended arrival and departure windows plus transfer options so travel day feels easy.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies? ↓
Yes. Once you reserve, we'll ask about food preferences, allergies, and medical considerations so meals can be planned with you in mind.
Some destinations have limited options for specific diets, yet we will always advocate for you and offer suggestions before you depart.
Do I need to be physically fit? What activity level should I expect? ↓
Every itinerary is different. Each tour page lists the physical demand for that trip and explains what to expect.
Some tours involve more walking, uneven terrain, stairs, long drives, early mornings and other potentially challenging scenarios. Review the daily itinerary and Physical Demand section carefully, or reach out if you would like help assessing fit.
I usually travel solo. Will I fit in? ↓
Absolutely. Over 80% of our guests join our tours as solo travelers and they quickly feel at home thanks to the supportive, women-centered group dynamic.
Booking & Payments
How do I reserve my spot? Is there a deposit? ↓
You can reserve your spot through the secure booking page for the tour you want to join. Most tours require a deposit, and you can complete your reservation in just a few minutes through our secure checkout.
The Payment Terms section on each tour page covers cancellation windows and other important payment details for that departure.
Do all trips have guaranteed departures? ↓
Each tour requires a minimum number of travelers before we confirm the trip. Once the minimum is reached, you will receive an email letting you know that you can now purchase flights, along with further instructions. We stay in close contact so you always know where things stand.
Safety & Health
Do I need travel insurance? ↓
Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance that covers both trip costs and health needs is strongly recommended for every Women Travel Tribe trip.
What happens if I get sick during a trip? ↓
Your tour leader and our local network are on call around the clock. They will coordinate care, handle logistics, and ensure you are always in good hands, regardless of the location.
How do you handle mobility concerns or medical equipment? ↓
Review each tour's Physical Demand section for specifics on walking distances, terrain, and accessibility considerations.
If you travel with mobility aids or medical equipment, let us know after booking. We will then make arrangements to accommodate your needs.
Preparing for the Trip
How do I prepare for a trip? ↓
Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive access to your Guest Portal. Inside the Portal, you will find specific information and tasks to help you prepare for the experience. This includes details on packing, weather, currency, visas, plug adapters, and more, all tailored to your tour.
We stay in touch through reminders and checklists so you feel ready from the moment you book.
During the Trip
Who will be my tour leader? ↓
Our tour leaders are experienced, dedicated and wonderful at what they do. They help keep the trip running smoothly while adding insight, support and a deep passion for the destination along the way.
They're there to make sure you feel taken care of throughout the journey, so you can simply relax and enjoy each day.
Is there free time on Women Travel Tribe tours? ↓
Yes. Every itinerary includes unstructured windows so you can relax, shop, journal, or explore at your own pace. Optional activities are offered, but never required.
Changes & Cancellations
What is your cancellation policy? ↓
Cancellation timelines vary by tour. The Payment Terms section on each tour page outlines deadlines and cancellation timelines for that departure. Please review them carefully before booking.
