Testimonials

This was my second trip with Travelling Divas and I cannot recommend them enough. They have been seamless, the accommodation is always exceptional as is the food & wine throughout the journey. However it is the company and the laughs that has stayed with me, not only on this trip but on my previous trip to Estonia & Finland. It was the tonic that was needed after our long travel hiatus, thank you so much for what was truly a Journey of a Lifetime. (the Northern Lights twice was an added and unexpected bonus… thanks for organising that for us!!!)

Journey of a Lifetime

This was my second trip with Travelling Divas. It was the perfect getaway for me! Travelling to beautiful Lisbon and then on to the Duoro Valley and then to magnificent Porto was the right choice. Our group of 8 with Donna Hipgrave as our guide was simply breathtaking. We saw so much in the 10 days we were away. Fabulous sights, wonderful guides in each place, local produce and sumptuous wine made for an excellent tour. Donna is such a wonderful leader, relating great stories of past visits, so knowledgeable with the cities/towns we visited, flexible in that she communicated with the group at every step and not afraid to alter anything to suit us. Bring on Greece in 2023!!!

Classic Tour

I loved our Travelling Divas tour to Portugal. Andrea and Donna were attentive during the pre-travel arrangements so we felt well prepared for our 9 days, covering Lisbon, Douro Valley and Porto. Donna is amazing, knowledgeable and a great problem-solver (not that there were problems hehehe ). It is so easy to enjoy the travel experience when you don’t have to worry about the tasks that go into making thinks happen smoothly. Thank you for the adventures and lasting memories.

Thank you for a fantastic weekend away in McLaren Vale. It was a great four days – full of wine, food and lots of laughs.

Not knowing anyone ahead of the trip I wondered what it would be like….everyone got along well and the trip ran like clock work! Not only were all the wineries we visited AMAZING but the transport was also excellent.

Having been on one trip with Andrea (and Jane) I wouldn’t hesitate in booking more.

My trip was everything that was on the itinerary and so much more amazing than I had imagined.

We sampled so much local fresh produce; had access to the most amazing Winemakers who welcomed us into their homes & Cellar Doors.

The amazing food, venues and the whole experience is something I will remember and feel very lucky to have been a part of this group of fabulous ladies. Our hosts Jane & Andrea were fantastic and have so much energy & planned every detail perfectly. If anyone is thinking of joining a tour, I can highly recommend Travelling Divas.

Fabulous ladies All Stars MCLaren Vale tour

I can’t speak highly enough of Andrea from Travelling Divas and Jane from Fab Women! From a very difficult year, they pulled together a stupendous wine tour of McLaren Vale. I hadn’t met any fellow travellers previously, and thanks to our guides, we all developed a fantastic bond over wine, food and laughter. Only through Andrea and Jane were we able to experience exclusive wines and entree into the very personal world of some fabulous women winemakers. This is way more than a wine tour. I learnt so much. I was looked after unobtrusively but spectacularly. The behind the scenes expert organisation resulted in a seamless, enjoyable and very special experience. I will be going again (and again) – I recommend you do so too!

McLaren Fabulous Ladies All Stars Getaway 29 Oct-1 Nov

Just returned from 3 days on another  Travelling Divas’ Girls Getaway, and I can’t wait to book the next one. Spicers Peak at Hidden Vale is an amazing mix of luxury and nature. Andrea’s expertise at arranging amazing activities and dining, including enough down time to chill out and relax, makes her girls’ getaways a must for everyone.

What an Adventure! What an Experience! What a privilege! I’ve just completed an adventure I’ll never forget. As a traveller who usually does so alone, the opportunities offered on this amazing journey to Ecuador and Peru were outstanding. I walked with giant tortoises; got up close and personal with iguanas; snorkelled in pristine waters of an amazingly untouched island and walked on a reed island that was home to a wonderful family group in Lake Titicaca, to name but a few.

I’ve just returned from an experience I’ll never forget. From the luxurious hotels situated anywhere: from Titilaca Lodge perched precariously on Lake Titicaca on top of the world, to an amazing safari camp in the Galapagos Islands, to an Andean hideaway set beside the Urubamba River to name just 3 of the wonderful places we stayed – to – the knowledge and passion of our guides; the inexplainable aura that takes your breath away when you step into the ancient world of Machu Picchu for the first time, the beautiful scenery; the care and passion of our leader and the company of women who brought diversity, much laughter and great stories to the group.

I’ve just returned and can reflect on the privilege that was offered tome by Travelling Divas and I thank them most sincerely for offering me the opportunity to join them on this outstanding adventure and experience, Diva Style.’

At times it can be lonely travelling alone, which is why travelling with the ‘Divas’ was so pleasant – a blend of interesting, well thought out and planned activities, some personal pampering and well chosen accommodation, some learning, exploring and leisure time, as well as fine-dining and good conversation with an interesting group of independent women, including our every vigilant and charming hostess/leader.

I just wanted to say thank you, I had a wonderful trip with yourself and the girls. I experienced firsthand your care and professionalism in organising everything, and all the small details that you have to deal with that we do not see. I am happy that I did the small group travel, as this makes it much easier to get to know everyone in the group. You were always concerned that everyone was happy and catered to all our needs, and I appreciated your knowledge and the lovely hotels and restaurants everywhere we went. Also thank you for the two lovely local guides, Desi and Gisella, that accompanied us; they were both very passionate and knowledgeable and a treat to have met them both. Once again, Andrea, thank you for a wonderful holiday and a great experience.

I loved that everything was so well organised, I felt safe that everything was taken care of. I really felt like I was on a holiday and could relax and enjoy my surroundings. I also loved that it was all women and we were there for a common purpose. I enjoyed having the local guide, Gisella, who was so informative and I learnt so much from her which was an important aspect for me. I loved the diversity of activities like the cooking class, that was amazing and so much fun. Transfers were great, I never felt on my own. The people like Bruno were very friendly. I got a real sense throughout the trip that Andrea had a great relationship with the tour group and they were there to make our time as pleasant and informative as possible. I felt Andrea could cope with anything so I felt safe and confident at all times.
