ITINERARY DISCLOSURE

*THE PUBLISHED ITINERARY FOR THE COTSWOLDS TRIP IS A SAMPLE ITINERARY. ACCOMMODATION, ACTIVITIES, AND EXPERIENCES MAY BE MODIFIED BASED ON WEATHER, AVAILABILITY, OR OTHER UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES.

TRAVEL INSURANCE DISCLOSURE

A TRAVEL INSURANCE POLICY THAT COVERS MEDICAL EXPENSES, AND OTHER TRAVEL-RELATED ISSUES IS REQUIRED FOR ALL TOURS. POLICIES OFFERED BY TRAVEL CREDIT CARDS DO NOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT FOR COVERAGE.

Travel medical insurance is mandatory for all participants. To join us, your insurance policy must include at least $100,000 USD coverage for medical emergency evacuation and repatriation.

Credit Card insurance will not be accepted as valid travel insurance for our tours. Therefore, we strongly advise securing a travel insurance policy BEFORE you make any payments towards the trip.

While many of our guests prefer Faye, it’s important to find a policy that aligns with your specific needs. Other reputable providers include Allianz Travel Insurance, Nationwide Travel Insurance, and John Hancock Travel, among others.

Keep in mind, all payments made towards the tour are non-refundable. Travel insurance typically covers cancellations only for covered reasons, which may include unexpected illness (yours or a family member’s), severe weather conditions, or job loss.

For those interested in “cancel for any reason” coverage—which is pricier but can reimburse you for 50-75% of the trip’s total cost—consider options like John Hancock’s “Gold” Travel Insurance or Nationwide’s “Prime” Travel Insurance, Faye Insurance. Note that these policies often need to be purchased within 14 days following your initial trip deposit.

IMPORTANT: When arranging your travel insurance, please account for any extra days you might be traveling outside our official tour dates, such as arriving a day early or staying an additional night at our suggestion. For instance, if you plan to fly out on October 2nd to ensure your timely arrival for the tour’s start, make sure your insurance coverage begins from October 2nd.

NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENT DISCLOSURE

ALL PAYMENTS MADE TOWARD THE COTSWOLDS TRIP ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING COMPREHENSIVE TRAVEL INSURANCE TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT AGAINST ANY UNEXPECTED EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

COVID-19 VACCINATION DISCLOSURE

FOR OUR 2027 COTSWOLDS TOURS, PARTICIPANTS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO BE FULLY VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO SAFEGUARD THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR TOUR PARTICIPANTS WHILE ALSO PROTECTING THE COMMUNITIES WE VISIT. ALTHOUGH MANY DESTINATIONS HAVE RELAXED THEIR VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS, WE ADVISE ALL TRAVELERS TO STAY INFORMED OF AND COMPLY WITH LOCAL HEALTH GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS. PARTICIPANTS MUST UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO FOLLOW ANY DESTINATION-SPECIFIC COVID-19 REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY VARY FROM OUR GENERAL POLICY.

What They’re Saying
  • Woman standing on the ledge of a bench under the Greek Flag.
    The trip was perfect. All the excursions were well planned and appealed to all the different individuals in our group. Our travel guide, Melissa, even added a personal touch by planning the naming ceremony/activity.
    The day on a private boat was magical. I never imagined myself swimming in caves and exploring quaint seaside villages. The trip exceeded my expectations.

    Pat K.
    Greece 2024
  • A woman in a bright blue dress smiling in front of a classic blue door on the island of Milos.
    Melissa did a great job on planning a wonderful trip for us. She had all our accommodations made, which were prefect. Day trips were planned and were all amazing. Melissa was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions I had. The trip was seamless. Meet some wonderful women that I now can say are friends. Would absolutely book another trip with Melissa in a minute, actually planning one for next year. Best decision I could have made.

  • Girl in the blue water
    This is my THIRD trip with Melissa…I think that says it all!!!
    This was my second time in Greece with Melissa, only one year later. I definitely fell in love with this country the first time, and I plan to go back and visit another part. The water, the food, the weather, the charm, and history.
    It’s all mesmerizing. And I’m certainly happy for all the new and continued friendships. Booking my first trip to Greece in 2025 has been one of the best decisions of my life!

  • Women in a restaurant
    Great balance of activities around food, history, exploring the islands and cities, as well as downtime to relax and refresh. Melissa did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and a part of the group. And I love how she communicated so much before the trip so we all knew what to pack and what to expect each day. I’d totally Recommend her trips!


    Zeta K.

  • Woman in Greece behind the wheel of the boat
    I’ve always wanted to go to Greece and this was the perfect opportunity as a single woman.

    Melissa is a gem. She plans every aspect of the trip with care, has a lovely spirit, and truly enjoys the trip and experience with the group. I’m so glad I found her group trips on Tiktok.
    Memories that last, new friends, and a wonderful experience.

    Brooke H.

  • A swimmer floats peacefully in the unbelievably clear turquoise waters of Milos, surrounded by rocky coastal cliffs.
    I would give this trip ten stars if I could. Everything was so well organized. It was the perfect balance of planned activities and free time. We stayed at boutique hotels that had personality. We dined at a number of great restaurants. We were spoiled with boat trips, wine tastings and jeep tours.
    I can’t say enough wonderful things about how Melissa conducted this trip. It was the vacation of my dreams.

Got Questions?

Oftentimes, when paying in a large group, it is required to have some cash. Most restaurants only allow for one credit card to be used when paying the bill.

While a shared would would have 2 mattresses, often times these mattresses are pushed together like seen below..

We typically recommend you arrive 1 day early depending on where you are traveling from. In this case, you will need to arrange for your own accommodations for that early arrival date.

YES! Each day there is almost always time for you to explore on your own! We prioritize balancing time for yourself along with an organized activity!

Yes. This is an all-female small group tour curated for solo women travelers and friends who want community and comfort.

No. You can come solo or with a friend. Many guests join solo and leave with new travel friends.

The tour begins in London on November 6, 2027, and ends on November 13, 2027 with a group transfer from the Cotswolds to London Heathrow Airport.

After our first night in London, we’ll spend six nights in the Cotswolds. Having one countryside home base means we can explore without packing up and changing hotels every day.

Along with England’s iconic sights, I’ve included smaller experiences that let us experience the countryside in a more personal way. We’ll have exclusive access to a privately owned Elizabethan manor, bake traditional English treats in a local home, enjoy afternoon tea, and take part in a private falconry experience and Walk with Hawks.

This is an active sightseeing trip, so you should be comfortable walking through cities, villages, historic properties and countryside settings. Some days include walking tours, and you may encounter uneven streets, steps and historic buildings.

November will be cool, and rain is always possible in England. Pack layers, a waterproof jacket and comfortable waterproof walking shoes. I’d actually lean into the season here. Cozy pubs, afternoon tea and the English countryside are part of the appeal of visiting at this time of year.

The itinerary includes London, Windsor, Bath, Oxford and the Cotswolds, with visits to places including Windsor Castle, Blenheim Palace, the Roman Baths, Malmesbury, Tetbury, Castle Combe and Lacock.
