I really wanted to go to Japan but not go by myself as I didn’t know the culture well enough. I loved going with Gals Who Travel, all the girls are lovely and we all got on so well! I did the 12 day trip to Japan and it was so worth it! Planning on using Gals Who Travel again next year! Linh our lead was brilliant and very informative of many things from the history of Japan to restaurants! I wish Linh all the best in the future and would highly recommend Gals Who Travel.

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!!!πŸ©·πŸŒΊπŸ„πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ¦

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!
