Why is our Women’s Travel Directory so special?

With over 100 companies who cater to solo women, our ​Women’s Travel Directory​ is the only place where women can search and find safe, women-friendly travel. What makes it even better is that you can support women-owned small businesses around the world and companies that value mature solo travellers and design trips with your interests in mind. In addition to partner matching, every tour listing shows price ranges, whether they offer single or double occupancy rooms for solo travellers and many have no single supplement. We encourage you to go beyond the listing and reach out to learn more from these companies directly using the contact information on our site.

This month is a special one, as it marks two years since we expanded our Directory by ​bringing Rosemary Neave’s WomenTravel.info into the JourneyWoman family​. Not only do we offer you the world’s largest selection of tours and ​wellness retreats​ for women, we also have ​sustainable small ship experiences​ with no single supplement and ​accommodations recommended by women for women​.

To get the best prices on ​flights​, book at least three months ahead, and consider ​train travel​ when you can. We also want to remind you how important it is to purchase travel insurance. Check prices on ​insuremyflight.com
