MYCRAFTEDTOUR
A female-founded & female-run travel company born out of passion for immersive journeys that awaken the senses and celebrate the women behind every story. Founded by Derya, a Turkish-Swiss business professional raised in Istanbul, with over 20 years in international business, and Joy, a globe-trotter turned travel curator who has explored 78 countries, we blend our love for culture, gastronomy, wine, and connection into every itinerary.
What makes us unique?
We curate journeys as unique as your time. That means every trip is handcrafted for women, by women, with support for women-owned businesses and artisans. We combine Swiss precision and a refined eye for detail with soulful storytelling, whether you’re sipping local wine in France or Italy, tasting cheeses in Switzerland, or uncovering hidden gems in Istanbul. In addition to the unforgettable memories you’ll bring home from our custom journeys, we design our tours to include hands-on activities that leave you with meaningful keepsakes. Imagine creating your own signature perfume under the guidance of a female pharmacist and Erborista, or crafting a leather-bound travel journal alongside a talented female artisan….these are treasures that will forever connect you to your experience.
