Healthy women of all ages and all walks of life travel with us (our average age range is about 50 to 70 but everyone is welcome.) Our travellers enjoy the safety of a group and the relaxed atmosphere of a women’s only tour. They enjoy making new friends, having new experiences and traveling in a comfortable and relaxed environment where every detail is already thought of.
We are from Canada, United States and some foreign countries. This is a multi-ethnic group of women coming together to share a travel experience catering to their individual desire.
No. This is not a singles group, our travel groups consist of women who are married, single, divorced or widowed. All are welcome.
No. Many women are traveling alone. That is part of the reason why Womens Travel Network exists, to provide women with traveling companions. Traveling as a group member you will feel like you are traveling with your best friends in only a few short hours.
While our tours are not strenuous or extreme, they are active. Most days involve walking over 10,000 steps at a steady pace, often on cobblestones, uneven terrain, and up and down stairs. Our trips are best suited for women who comfortably enjoy walking, as it’s often the best—and sometimes the only—way to truly explore the destinations we visit. A decent level of fitness is important to fully enjoy the experience.
You have three options.
Choose whichever method is convenient for you!
You can pay for your WTN tour with visa, master card or cheque. You will need to contact our reservations departments so they can assist you in making a payment. All of these processes will be well explained to you by our team once you've registered for a tour.
Yes. When women see how much fun it is to travel with us in a relaxed and safe environment, they love it and come back again and again. New friendships are made and often these women will sign up as roommates for future trips.
No. Some women will know each other but the majority are coming together for the first time and making new acquaintances.
No. You will find women of all ages looking to share adventures, travel experiences and camaraderie. Age is not a common factor, it is the nature of the travel experience that brings us all together.

In the event of inadequate number of participants or conditions which in our opinion would compromise the safety of participants, we may cancel or modify a tour. In either of these circumstances participants would be refunded in proportion to the part of the excursion or trip cancelled.

Yes, we offer a variety of insurance packages to suit your needs. We recommend you take appropriate insurance to cover against illness, injury, loss or damage. A tour is a large investment and you should protect it as you would any other important investment. We all like to think nothing will happen to prevent us from going on our tour, but it happens. You will feel more secure knowing you have insurance protection. Trip cancellation insurance must be purchased at the time of your initial deposit.
Three months prior to your tour we send out a trip-tip list which includes a bit of packing information. A few week prior to your tour we host an informative/interactive live webinar for you to join where your tour host goes over many details including packing. In this online meet-up you are able to ask questions.
We walk 10,000+ steps a day on tour, with some days and some specific tours being more than 15,000 steps a day. Depending on the destination we may face stairs, cobble stones, uneven terrain, unpaved trails, or a mix of all, for these reasons wheelchairs are not permitted. If you have questions about the physicality of a tour, please reach out to us we are happy to answer questions.
The group size is minimum 10 to maximum 16 travellers. We like to keep the tours small so you have the ability to get to know everyone.
The Women’s Travel Network was born out of both necessity. Founder Debbie Ross had a desire to see the world, but her partner wasn’t interested in the same destinations, and her friends didn’t have the time or enthusiasm to join her. So she took a leap and planned a group tour to Tuscany, Italy, not knowing if anyone would want to come along.
To her surprise, a group of adventurous women joined her, and they called themselves “The Babes on the Bus.” That trip sparked lasting friendships (they still hold reunions to this day!) and laid the foundation for something much bigger.
Debbie soon realized she wasn’t alone. Many women love to travel but don’t always have someone to go with, or don’t feel comfortable setting out solo. The Women’s Travel Network was created to bring these women together, offering them a safe, welcoming, and fun environment to explore the world, connect, and create lifelong memories.
More than 20 years later, WTN has helped thousands of women travel with confidence and joy, forming friendships and seeing the world, together.

We take a look at the age of the traveler, their interests, level of travel experience, where they are from and combine this with conversations and emails to carefully match roommates.
We match smokers with smokers and non-smokers with non-smokers. If you are sensitive to noise and concerned about being disturbed by a roommate that snores, you might want to consider a single room. However, there are many positives about sharing a room, and making a new friend.
Most women share even if they are not used to it. Roommates often pal around on unscheduled time and new friendships are created. You can have a single room if you prefer. They are available for an additional charge. Please advise at time of booking and a separate quote will be prepared.
