Tours specifically for women have been around for some time, but they seem to be increasing in popularity. So why go on a women only tour?
1) Women only tours create new friendships
It is much easier to let your guard down and make friends quickly when you travel with fellow women. When you are traveling with men, there can be some competitiveness between them which makes it difficult to form group bonds or friendships. With women only tours, this is not an issue.
2) More flexible travel opportunities for women
Many times women feel much safer when traveling with other women, making it much easier to agree to more exotic or remote destinations. Women are also less likely to be afraid of being alone in a crowd, giving them the flexibility they need to experience their destination instead of just staying on the beaten path. If you’re by yourself, you’re often expected to stick to popular roads and tourist attractions that others do as well (such as buses or group tours), which can limit your sense of adventure. With a women only tour, you don’t have these restrictions.
3) Gain insight from fellow female travelers
Tours for women allow participants to share their experiences, insight, and ideas. You can learn some great tricks on approaching your destination from others who have been there before. And you’ll be able to give some of your own travel experiences as well!
4) Women only tours are social
Let’s face it – women enjoy socializing more than men do. While men may go out for a beer or two after work, women are generally the ones who meet up for dinner or drinks with their friends. This is part of our nature, so why not take advantage of this when traveling? There will be opportunities for mingling at group dinners, winery stops, etc., which simply doesn’t happen on group tours where all the participants are male.
5) Women only tours are not just for relationships
Many women sign up for women only tours when they’re in a relationship. They know that their partner will be perfectly fine traveling with the guys, so this is a great way to do something special by themselves or with friends. But remember – these trips are NOT just for relationships! Many single travelers go on these types of trips and find it much easier to meet people who enjoy similar things.
Women travel differently than men, and they especially enjoy socializing more than men do. This is why going on a women only tour can offer many more benefits than other types of trips out there.
