Stuff you gotta know...

Quality Trips

Group size
Sharing experiences with others adds to the fun, and you'll gain insights from fellow travelers.  We keep our groups small, with most trips limited to 10 or 12 guests.  We don't troop around with 25 people - our small group travel is less intrusive, and facilitates the best experience for everyone.  You feel like you're out with friends, not part of a herd.  Each member gets the attention they deserve.

Tour participants
One of the best things about our women's travel tours is the terrific people you'll travel with.  People attracted to our trips are fun-loving, with an adventurous spirit, a love for the outdoors, and a natural curiosity.  Members tend to share common interests, and are open to new people and ideas.  Friendships that develop on a trip may last for years after.

Our guests are women, mostly 40s & 50s, though some are younger or older.  Most women come on their own, and enjoy the companionship and security they get from traveling with a group.  Some women come with a friend or group of friends.  Some come with a relative - you may see sisters, or a mother and daughter. 

Trip leaders
Our experienced trip leaders handle all aspects of the trip, coordinating your transportation, checking you into hotels, leading the way on our hiking trips for women, and much more.  They know their way around, and use their experience and capabilities to keep your trip running smoothly.  If you have any questions along the way, just talk to your trip leader, who will help you with whatever you need.

All of our guides have a love for their area, and share their enthusiasm with the group.  We normally use female guides, but may use a male guide if that's the best person we find.  Our guides are also selected for their ability to get along with people.  Their cheerful, congenial nature helps keep people's spirits up, and they encourage a camaraderie that makes the trip fun and enjoyable for everyone.

Accommodations
We stay at hotels that are among the finest in each location.  Of course this varies depending on where you are.  In a city like Santa Fe, you will find a lovely hotel with many comforts and conveniences.  In remote areas, the standards are different.  Wherever we go, our accommodations are clean, safe, and as comfortable as possible.  Details on accommodations for each trip are in the women's trips section.

Our typical accommodations are double occupancy, two beds, with a private bath.  For solo travelers who would rather have a room of their own, this can usually be arranged, with payment of a single supplement.

Food
We know that good food is very important, and a delectable meal may provide a lasting trip memory.  We select restaurants carefully, looking for outstanding cuisine, menus that showcase what’s special about a region, and ambience that provides the best overall dining experience.

Most women don't like to eat three huge meals a day, though it's natural to eat more on an active vacation than you do at home.  We typically start the day with a nutritious breakfast, have a lighter but healthy and filling lunch, and then a magnificent dinner.   You'll never be hungry, and options are available for those who like to eat light.

Many trips also leave you free for one dinner on your own.  If you've had a hankering for something, or a friend recommended a favorite restaurant, you can try it out this night.  We'll be happy to provide you with recommended options.
