★★★★★

Gals who travel trips are truly amazing!! My first trip was solo on the inter railing trip around Europe, which lead to me meeting friends for life.

This trip sparked my travel interest and since then I have also travelled to Japan with gals who travel, a place I wouldnโ€™t have felt safe enough to go by myself. Gals who travel gave me the confidence to book with them knowing Iโ€™d have an amazing trip no matter the group. Iโ€™ve always felt they provide a safe space for girls who want to solo travel!

The tour guides are so friendly, special shout out to Gemma and Hikari for being the best! And the itineraries are perfectly curated to make the most of the country/countries youโ€™re visiting. I totally believe youโ€™ll never regret booking a gals who travel trip!

Gema is an amazing tour guide and person, you can tell she has put a lot of time into the tour learning about each city to give the group the best understanding of the culture, history and sights. Gema was always so upbeat and positive which provided a really good group dynamic helping us to bond and stay in good spirits on the long traveling days. Gema always had fun activities for us helping us to break the ice and get to know each other which was great and allowed us to become a close knit group. I would 100% join another trip with Gema in the future!!

The trip has been not only tonnes of fun but also really informative and a great learning experience. The activities included have been a great range from active sessions such as cycling/hiking and more chilled sessions like the Budapest ruin bars. I was nervous to go on a trip with 20 girls Iโ€™d never met before but Gema did a great job on our first evening helping us all to break the ice and get to know each other. From this first day the group has grown closer and closer together with Gema always making sure everyone was included and having fun! If I could Iโ€™d do the trip all over again!!
