our story

about us ✨

a solo trip & a dream of creating a space for gals to find friends to travel with

our gals who travel story starts in 2022 with our founder and solo traveller brontë king, a trip to bali and a dream of connecting gals around the world. after travelling solo, staying in hostels and meeting other girls travelling, the same conversations always came up: "i wish i could meet other girls to travel with." "i'd love to visit there but i wouldn't feel safe going solo." brontë wanted to create a safe space for women to travel together, make lasting friendships and support local communities through travel whilst doing it. to give gals the confidence and experience of travelling to new destinations without the worry and stress of finding friendships or routes by themselves.

our founder

for the gals, by the gals

what started as 1 group trip announcement, 8,000 followers on our @galswhotravel instagram and 1 gal hoping some gals would book on to join her girls trip to bali has grown into thousands of women trusting us and travelling with us every year.

partnering with operator trutravels in 2022, we had a shared ethos and dream of changing the world together. since then, gals who travel has grown into a global community of gals meeting irl, connecting and seeing the world safely and affordably with local guides in each destination. now operating 15 different trips across asia, latin america, europe, oceania and africa!!!

and honestly

for all our gals globally, that have a dream

we wanted to create adventures that give you the opportunity and confidence to come alone. nearly 90% of gals come solo and 100% leave with a new group of friends!!!

travel is more than just the girls who book on our trips, it's the women around the world too. where we can, we hire local female guides, visit women's cooperatives and support women-owned businesses!!!

Such an incredible experience. I’ve never been away solo travelling and wanted an opportunity to do so but meet new people. I loved that girls who travel allowed girls to feel safe exploring new places and this company made it all possible.

Mita was absolutely amazing, truly could not have asked for a better tour guide. She was so organised and knew everything about everything but also felt like a friend and member of the group. I loved hearing her stories and she is truly iconic. She is so funny and I genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. I learnt so much from her and will remember her forever. She arranged extra activities for us to do such as jewellery making which she didn’t have to do. Overall, Mita is an incredible tour guide.

WOW. I can’t believe the trip has come to an end. i am a 24 year old from Liverpool who has never travelled alone before. being in a group of like minded girls who have all come together on the other side of the world, because we all felt we needed something, has been nothing short of amazing. it’s so hard to find like minded people - gals who travel fixed this!

Our tour guide - Mita - where do I start. to answering all my questions before the trip on WhatsApp, to meeting you irl in Bali. there was nothing you would not do for us girls. Your smile lit us up on early mornings and your laughter kept us going through the night. I love you my Bali sister!!!

if your thinking of joining a travel group - DO IT. You will not regret it girl!!!🩷🌺🏄🏽‍♀️🍦

I went on the gals who travel Sri Lanka trip in February and it was the most incredible trip of a lifetime. Sri Lanka is the most beautiful country - it was literally tropical paradise! My favourite moment in the itinerary was the elephant safari through the national park and then we spent the night glamping in the jungle!!! We literally went to bed with the sounds of the jungle surrounding us and then woke up to noises of monkeys and nearby elephants. The whole trip is magical from start to finish but that part felt extra special <3

Also worth mentioning that everything was made super simple for me, all I had to do was book my flights - the rest was all handled!! It was so nice to go to a brand new part of the world and just relax and take it in, rather then having to plan everything myself!!

I went on the Morocco Uncovered GWT trip in March and had the time of my life!! This was my first trip like this and I’m soooo glad I did it.

The activities on the trip were amazing and our guide, Driss, went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the most out of our trip. I felt truly immersed in Moroccan culture and feel so lucky to have experienced the Sahara Desert, Atlas Mountains, and Marrakech.

I also found this trip really reasonable price for all of the bucket list activities we were doing. Would recommend this trip to anyone!

I had the best chemistry with the group, with the gals and the guide. It feels like a group of best friends .Chris is the stage best guide I could ever ask for. I got along so well with him. I felt in a safe, comfortable place. I think he excelled at his role. He provided us with all the important information, really good recommendations, and valuable advice.
I can’t imagine this without Chris. As a group, we hit the jackpot to have him as a tour guide. Forever grateful for the opportunity of meeting Vietnam along with these gals and Chris.
