Luxury tour operator Tauck debuts three, small-group, women-only tours in Europe this year. Choose from itineraries in Ireland, Italy and Portugal. Each tour will be led by a female Tauck guide, averaging about 20–24 guests per departure.
Departing Sept. 23, this eight-day tour includes visits to the Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle, a cooking class at Ballyknocken House, and a stay at 16th-century Dromoland Castle.
Perfect for foodie travelers, this itinerary features truffle hunting, a wine tasting lunch and chef-hosted cooking class. The tour takes off Oct. 1.
Explore the best of Portugal with stops in Lisbon, Porto, Sintra, Cascais, Évora and Coimbra. The tour departs on Oct. 10.
“The response to our Cruise Control: A Riverboat Retreat for Women in Travel affirmed what we were already seeing across the industry—women are seeking travel experiences that offer not just discovery, but genuine connection and community,” said Jennifer Tombaugh, CEO, Tauck. “Whether it’s mothers and daughters marking a milestone, sisters planning a long-awaited journey, friends reuniting for a special getaway, or solo travelers looking to connect with like-minded women, these departures offer another layer—a built-in sense of ease, encouragement, and belonging.”
All three departures are currently open for booking.
