Women Travel Tribe vs. Intrepid Women's Expeditions
Which women's group tour is right for you? This guide offers an honest comparison of our boutique, 50+ focused experiences and Intrepid's larger-scale expeditions to help you choose the adventure that fits you best.
Why Women Choose WTT
While both companies offer amazing trips for women, the experience is fundamentally different. We emphasize community, comfort, and cultural connection above all else.
A True Peer Group
Our trips are exclusively for women 50+, creating an atmosphere of shared understanding and instant connection that you won't find in a mixed-age group. It's less of a tour group, more of a traveling tribe.
Intimate Group Size
With just 8-12 travelers per trip (compared to Intrepid's 18+), everyone gets to know each other deeply. You'll have meaningful conversations over dinner, not just surface-level small talk. Many of our travelers form lifelong friendships.
Boutique & Bespoke Accommodations
We prioritize comfort and charm. That means staying in carefully selected 4-star boutique hotels and locally-owned lodges that reflect the character of the destination, not standard tourist hotels. Every property is chosen with mature travelers in mind.
A Community That Lasts
Join our private Facebook community of 13,000+ women who share travel tips, plan meetups, and stay connected between trips. Our travelers receive alumni discounts and often book multiple adventures together. This isn't just a vacation—it's joining a supportive network.
Perfectly Paced for You
Our itineraries balance activity with relaxation, designed specifically for women 50+. You'll have time to savor experiences, rest when needed, and never feel rushed. No early morning departures unless absolutely necessary, and plenty of free time to explore at your own pace.
What Our Travelers Say
Hear from women who've traveled with both companies
"I've traveled with Intrepid before and enjoyed it, but WTT is a completely different experience. Being with women my age who understand what it's like to travel in your 60s made all the difference. We became genuine friends, not just tour mates."
— Linda M., 63, California
Portugal Tour, 2024
"The smaller group size made such a difference. We all got to know each other on a deeper level, and the pace was perfect for taking in each destination without feeling rushed. I'm still in touch with every woman from my trip!"
— Patricia K., 58, Texas
Croatia Tour, 2024
"The accommodations were outstanding. Every hotel was charming and comfortable, and I appreciated that WTT chose places with character rather than standard chain hotels. The attention to detail shows they really understand what mature travelers value."
