Small Group Tours for Women
Phyllis Stoller was a vice president of a major bank who lived and worked overseas. She started one of the first women’s travel companies in 1992, followed by a second tour company in 2009. Both had goals of reaching solo women, who wanted to travel in the company of other women. Her idea was to mirror university trips, with in-depth sightseeing and learning, but at affordable prices. All trips include a slice of fun. Different from other women’s groups, WTG tours are small group tours to new-to-tourism countries like Albania, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Namibia, even Iran (when allowed). Alternatively, tours are in-depth to US or European areas.
Tours often have speakers: ie “Living as a divorced American woman in Sicily”. Itineraries include unusual sites: Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain, Gozo Island, Malta, and central food markets in Italy. Hotels are 4-5 star, located in safe areas. Meals are in restaurants. Tour managers, who travel with groups, are highly experienced and licensed. Trip prices are inclusive to help with planning. WTG arranges airfare, insurance and extra days.
WTG also caters to private groups.
