3. Wild Women Expeditions
Defying the stereotypes that women are any less adventurous than their male counterparts, Wild Women Expeditions has led groups of active women on outdoorsy tours around the world since 1991. Perfect for going off the grid and getting in touch with Mother Nature, these women-only tours are not for the faint of heart. Each itinerary may be unique, but booking your clients on an adventure with Wild Women Expeditions means hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, mountain biking, camping and more.

1. Tuscan Women Cook
Tuscan Women Cook may not organize women-only experiences, but its clear that the ladies run the show on these Italian itineraries based in the historic Tuscan town of Montepulciano.
On a 7-day vacation with Tuscan Women Cook, your clients can expect to spend their mornings in the kitchen with local nonnas—the Italian women who lead the cooking classes and share family recipes that have been passed down for generations. Using locally sourced ingredients, guests will participate in the making of an authentic Italian meal with the guidance of the nonnas before savoring their creations. When they’re not whipping up a tasty meal, guests will also enjoy days of fine dining, regional wines, and access to private and professional kitchens, as well as vineyards and purveyors.
Vacations with Tuscan Women Cook run in May, June, September, and October. This weeklong program is priced at $4,150 pp dbl with a $350 supplement for singles. For more information, visit tuscanwomencook.com.
