About us

Wandering Women was created for women who want to explore the world but don’t have a travelling companion. Many women tell us they dream of seeing Europe, discovering new places and cultures, or simply taking time for themselves — yet feel unsure about travelling solo. We understand that hesitation.

As a mature woman who has travelled solo for many years, I know both the freedom and the challenges that come with independent travel. Wandering Women was built to remove those barriers. Our journeys are thoughtfully curated for women 45+, blending comfort, connection and cultural immersion with the reassurance of travelling in a small, supportive group.

We specialise in women only, small group luxury travel across Europe — experiences designed to be easy, safe and deeply enjoyable. Every itinerary is crafted with care, every detail handled, and every traveller welcomed into a community where friendships form naturally.

With Wandering Women, you’re travelling solo, but never alone.

“This is a great moment, when you see, however distant, the goal of your wandering. The thing which has been living in your imagination suddenly become part of the tangible world. It matters not how many ranges, rivers or parching dusty ways may lie between you; it is yours now forever.”

- Freya Stark, travel writer 1893-1993

We’re heading to Europe in 2027 and we’d love you to come!

Extended Italy

Spending three nights in Milan sets the perfect tone for our Italian adventure, with a full day devoted to the beauty of Lake Como. From there, we explore the dramatic coastline of the Italian Riviera, including the iconic Cinque Terre. The journey continues to the shimmering gem of Venice, followed by the sensory delights of Florence, where art, history and culture meet at every turn.

Our tour now extends south to Puglia, offering time to discover its striking east coast and charming hinterland. No journey to Italy is complete without experiencing the splendour of the Amalfi Coast, stepping into the ancient worlds of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and finally immersing yourself in the wonders of the Eternal City — Rome.

Our Tours

With Wandering Women, you have your own ensuite room – every tour, every time. You have time to yourself to explore as well as being able to enjoy all the exciting organised activities included in each tour. You can share your experiences with a small group of women with similar interests but still have some special private moments of your own.

Extended France

Experience the legendary delights of Paris along with the very best of regional France. Wandering Women journeys are designed to move beyond the obvious, giving you time to explore the country’s rich regional differences — each with its own charm, cuisine and character. This year, we’ve added the Dordogne and extended our stay in Provence, allowing you to enjoy both regions at a more relaxed, immersive pace. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the magnificent Strasbourg Cathedral, a highlight of France’s eastern heartland.
