New product

I just received an e-mail about Tauck's new product: women-only travel groups. They're starting with 3 one-week trips in 2026 -- to Ireland, Portugal and Piedmont. I think that it's interesting that they're branching out to this market, as well as to the "Roam" market.

No YiyaK - just a vivid reminder of how women only or women majority groups can tend towards cliqueyness and how one group always seems to feel entitled to insult or disparage those they do not agree with and while perhaps tolerable in small doses, nonetheless unpleasant and nothing I want to deal with.

Yes me too

I love a good Girls Trip but only with my close women friends; I would not risk it with strangers. Been there; done that. Too many insecure, mean girls still stuck in middle school and feeling entitled running around out there for me.

Yes! MikeH... Exactly!!... like all other travelers we single women travel for various reasons... There are tour companies that offer tours for mixed gender solo/single travelers. There is a small demand for these tours, just not something that interests me. I have traveled solo with Tauck 4 times and have met lovely people... couples and single women. I've made lasting friendships. I was fortunate on these Tauck tours to have these couples and other single women invite me to join them when we split up into smaller groups when out on excursions, to dine with them at their table, and to join them when venturing out during our free/unscheduled time. This has allowed me to decline the invitations from the few solo men on these Tauck tours. I'm not interested in meeting single men while on travel tours. It is something that causes me a bit of anxiety in the days leading up to any mixed-gender tour. My circles of friends at home are mixed gender. These are men I know. I am comfortable in their presence. We share common interests and enjoy the company. I have participated in 3 "women-only" tours offered by two companies that specialize in women-only participants. There is a huge comfort level for women in traveling this way. We are aware that the companies must charge extra in the pricing to offer single accommodations, but the reward that comes from travelling with women is worth the extra cost to us. Fortunately the demand for women-only tours is great and so the offerings for women-only travel are more numerous and growing rapidly. I'm travelling solo next month on a mixed gender tour. The company offered a specific date with no added single supplement to a destination I've wanted to explore. I hope to meet couples and single women to share the experience of travel. Happy travels to all.
