Do you dream of a beautiful vacation but don’t want to travel alone? Then a group trip is the perfect solution! A well-organized trip takes all the worries off your hands, lets you discover the most amazing places, and connects you with like-minded travelers. But how do you choose the group trip that suits you best? Here are five important factors to consider before booking your trip!
1️⃣ What Type of Group Trip Suits You?
Not all group trips are the same. It’s important to think about the kind of experience you want. Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you want an active vacation, like hiking and adventure tours? 🏞
- Or do you prefer a relaxing getaway with beaches, wellness, and great food? 🏖🍷
- Do you want a lot of freedom in planning, or do you prefer a structured itinerary?
- Is connecting with locals important to you, or would you rather see the main tourist highlights?
Some group trips are intense with many excursions, while others offer more free time. Check the trip description carefully before booking!
💡 Tip: At Girls Gone Wandering , we combine bucket list destinations with a relaxed vibe. Our trips are perfect for women who seek adventure but also enjoy culture and great company.
2️⃣ The Group Composition: Who Will You Be Traveling With?
A good connection with the group can make or break your trip. So, pay attention to the target audience of the group trip:
- Age group: Some trips cater to young travelers (20-35 years), while others are for all ages.
- Solo travelers vs. friend groups: Are you traveling alone? Check if the trip is designed for solo travelers so you don’t end up surrounded only by friend groups or couples.
- Gender: Do you feel more comfortable in a women-only trip, like those from Girls Gone Wandering? Or do you prefer a mixed group?
💡 Tip: At Girls Gone Wandering , we focus on female solo–travelers who are open to new connections. You’re traveling solo, but never alone!
3️⃣ The Destination & Trip Duration
Maybe you already know where you want to go, but if not, think carefully about the length of the trip and the type of destination.
- Short trips (4-7 days): Perfect for a city trip, a long weekend away, or a quick getaway.
- Longer group trips (8+ days): Ideal for distant destinations or deeper cultural experiences.
- Europe vs. faraway destinations: Do you want to stay in Europe, or are you dreaming of a tropical adventure further away?
Some destinations are perfect for group trips—like Italy, Bali, or Mexico—while others might be better for solo exploring. Choose a trip that matches your travel style!
4️⃣ What’s Included in the Group Trip?
Not all group trips offer the same inclusions, so check carefully what’s covered in the price. Look for:
✔ Transport: Is the flight included, or do you arrange it yourself? Are transfers at the destination organized?
✔ Accommodation: Will you be staying in boutique hotels, hostels, or shared houses?
✔ Activities: Are excursions, tours, and workshops included, or do you pay for them separately?
✔ Meals: Is breakfast/dinner included, or do you cover your own meals?
✔ Trip guidance: Will there be a host or guide taking care of everything?
💡 At Girls Gone Wandering you get:
✅ A fully planned trip, including unique experiences like a cooking class or wine tasting.
✅ Stays at stunning locations, offering both comfort and social vibes.
✅ A community of women who share the same love for travel.
5️⃣ How to Book a Stress-Free Group Trip?
Now that you know what to look for, it’s time to book your group trip! Here are some final tips:
✔ Read reviews from past travelers to see how they experienced the trip.
✔ Check the cancellation policy: What happens if you can’t go?
✔ Get travel insurance, especially if you plan to do adventurous activities.
✔ Follow your gut feeling! Choose a trip that excites you and makes you look forward to the experience.
