Is jewels of southwest france for women only? Which of your tours are women only, if any?

While our tours are very popular with solo female travellers we don't run any tours that are specifically for women only.

I am 81 years old, but I travel many times a year in different countries and have never had any difficulties during the trips. In addition I speak fluently many languages including french. i would like to participate in this trip. I know the area and I could go alone, but I enjoy the company. So age is only a number. I really would like to take part in this trip

Unfortunately we have no more availability for a single room on the 3rd of June departure. Our closest date with availability on this trip is the 24th of June departure.

We were a party of Australians attending the Dawn Service at Villers-Bretonneux and touring the battlefields. The tour was strenuous because of all the events and places however we expected this. Steve was a great guide, hugely well informed, cheerful and considerate. Accommodation problems were difficult however there was a great influx of tourists - particularly Aus - for this week and everyone did their best and we had a wonderful experience.Show more
