“You’ll remember the people having a craic” is what Killian said to us on our last day, traveling back from the Aran Islands. Craic as we have come to learn is an Irish term for fun, good times, enjoyment, all of which was nonstop on our 9 day adventure. He was right, and as I...

The tour was awesome and really fun, Killian is the best tour director for this. All the local recommendations were awesome to do and if you have the chance definitely do the Aran island and Glendalough for the views and a different pace.

I had arguably the best tour group where I made lifelong friends that I would gladly go on another trip with. Our tour guide (Diarmuid) was absolutely great. He showed us all the best places and give great knowledge/history of the places we visited in Ireland.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Ireland before with my family, doing our own accommodations, and having good craic. However there’s something different about this tour- it was my first time traveling so far without anyone in my family and the group quickly became my family!...

Killian was an absolute dream to have as a tour guide. It felt as if an old friend of yours was giving you a tour of their home country even though we had just met him for the first time. He shared the real, the good, the bad, the messy, and the beautiful parts of the country,...

FAQs

Yes, of course! Our goal is to build an inclusive community and empower our travelers who are seeking a supportive environment for women, including cisgender women, nonbinary folks, and more. If you're looking for adventure, connection, and the space to be yourself, these trips are for you.
These group trips are designed to be inclusive and welcoming for solo travelers ready to take the leap. If you're planning to travel with friends, we recommend booking one of our standard tours—those trips are more likely to include groups of friends traveling together.

- Pack smart. Bring a copy of important documents, a scarf for temple visits, and your go-to travel playlist.
- Lean into the community. Share dinner plans, early-morning walks, or optional adventure with fellow travelers.
- Trust your vibes. If something feels off, your Tour Director and group have your back.
