Ladies Who Travel Arvostelua 

I booked my first trip with LWT to Bali in Jun 25, was I nervous about travelling across the world by myself to meet 24 women I’d never met before - ABSOLUTELY- did I have the most amazing time - OMG yes I did! So much so, I booked my next trip to Vietnam as soon as I could - back 2 weeks now and still looking longingly at my photos wishing I was still there. Will I book again? Try stopping me! Here’s why, 1 - you meet the most inspiring ladies, people who have so much love and compassion and who genuinely just want to see the world and live their best lives. I’ve made friends for life. 2 - you get to see and experience things you just wouldn’t if you book a fly and flop holiday. The tours are well planned, a mixture of activities from sightseeing and culture to adventure and action - but only if you want to. The best thing is you don’t have to do any planning or organising as it’s all done for you, you just show up and enjoy! Hotels are great - never had a bad one and beds are always comfortable ❤️ Shareen genuinely cares that her guests have a great time and they enjoy their experience - a tough job managing the expectations of 20+ women, but the smiley faces in the photos say it all! Can’t wait for 2027 dates to come out!

If I could give Shareen and Ladies Who Travel 100 ⭐️, I would!

I've been on 3 international trips to Bali, the Maldives and Vietnam in the last 12 months and can honestly say that this group has changed my life.

I have loads of friends, a wonderful partner and a full life, but I had no-one with either the time or the money to travel with and I prefer company to going it alone.

LWT has filled that gap with incredible tours, packing in fantastic experiences and truly getting under the skin of the country you visit.

I have met some fantastic women along the way and our Maldives group has continued to meet for a winter weekend away and we're planning trips together as well as hounding Shareen for further bucket list trips with the group!
I particularly love that she asks where you'd like to go and then puts together those trips!

I now count Shareen as a friend and truly appreciate what she has created for women to be able to confidently get way out of their comfort zone and make utterly amazing memories. ♥️

I have travelled with ladies who travel on 6 trips now 3 in UK and 3 abroad: Morocco, Thailand and Vietnam. Shareen always comes up with an interesting program with loads to do and see and plenty of variety. If you are looking for fly and flop tours you probably won’t like the high energy but if like me you come to see new places (or even familiar ones with a new perspective) make new friends and get out of my comfort zone by trying new activities then I can’t fault Shareen’s tours. There is always something new and unexpected even for a seasoned traveller. For those less confident there are lots of supportive women who help to ensure there are strong bonds across the group. I go home (or continue to travel when I can get away with being away longer) with a full and happy heart. I am glad I take so many photos as do others which we all share as once I get home I can hardly believe what I have seen and done

I had the best time with LWT when I went to Finland in January 2026. I joined a group of 15 strangers and left with a group of 15 friends. The trip did everything it promised and more. Shareen organised a trip that pushed me to try new things. Whoever would have known I’d love ice dipping in a frozen lake, or snow shoeing through a forest. The trip is carefully curated so that there’s lots of time to do those ‘big ticket’ items and also to spend time exploring alone. LWT have created holidays for women who come with their own stories and aren’t afraid to add to them. I had such a great time, I booked my next trip ( to the Arctic) before I’d come home. If you’re thinking of a LWT trip - jump right in! The best experiences are there for you to enjoy, explore and remember for a life time!

I’ve just come back from a tour to Cambodia and Vietnam. It’s my second tour with Ladies Who Travel.
I’m so pleased I found this group as it enables me to travel to far away places with like minded women. Quite a few of the women knew each other from other tours and local meet ups and they have built a lovely connection between themselves. It’s lovely to watch (I’m an avid people watcher 😛)
There were also ladies on this tour that I met on the last tour, our connection became more friendlier more solid. There were also ladies on this tour who I had met for the first time and we connected so well. ALL ladies were supportive of each other, we all encouraged each other. We have all faced similar obstacles in our lives, treaded similar paths. It was a very safe space to talk about our hardships our successes our dreams. And we want to travel! Shereen puts on the most rewarding tours in my opinion, they are jammed packed with experiences I would never do with a partner or by myself but with a group of brilliant women, yes!
If you’re thinking of joining a tour, stop thinking, just do it - it’s daunting I know, but you’ll be so glad you did it x

I have traveled with this group both in the UK and zbriad. I like the set up of a host for between 12 and 24 ladies and have found many like minded ladies on the trips. The owner Shareen is knowledgeable and supportive and encourages ladies to live their best life. This type of group travel has been a revelation to me and I really enjoy it. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I was honestly dreading this trip before it even started, based on what I’d heard from previous travellers — and unfortunately, my concerns were completely justified.
While I’m glad I got the chance to meet other ladies, the experience was entirely overshadowed by Shareen Geers. She creates a cliquey, exclusionary atmosphere that completely contradicts the “supportive, empowering community” the company advertises. Existing groups are clearly favoured, and there’s no effort to make newcomers feel welcome.
Shareen’s behaviour was dismissive, intimidating, and at times downright hostile. She frequently made disparaging remarks, openly gatekept the group, and seemed more interested in asserting control than supporting travellers. If you speak up or challenge anything, you are blocked from the group. She also shared personal details inappropriately, making the environment uncomfortable and unprofessional.
Rather than fostering connection, inclusion, or empowerment, she made the trip feel tense, unpleasant, and toxic. I genuinely wish I had chosen a different tour company that actually lives up to its values and creates the inclusive, welcoming atmosphere it promises. I would not recommend travelling with Ladies Who Travel

I’ve been following Ladies Who Travel since the early days, and I actually participated in one of the trips when the group was relatively new. At that time, it didn’t feel like a business; it was a genuine community brought together by Shareen Geers.

That trip remains the best of my life. There was a raw, authentic energy to the group that came from Shareen’s original thesis: creating a "tribe" where women could find the credibility and confidence to explore the world together. Back then, we weren't just clients on an itinerary—we were a supportive circle of women conquering our fears and discovering new cultures side-by-side.
While it is wonderful to see how much the group has grown into a successful family-run enterprise, it saddens me to see it lose that original spark. As it has scaled into a more structured tour operator, it feels like the true meaning—that intimate, community-first spirit—has been overshadowed by the business model.

I joined this current tour expecting that same supportive community for solo travellers, but the reality was a cliquey environment where I felt completely excluded. Despite the group’s supposed mission to foster connection and confidence, most of the women had already travelled together multiple times and formed tight-knit circles. Even though I made numerous attempts to integrate, there was zero support from the leadership to help me feel welcome. When I went to raise this with the owner, Shareen Geers, was already discussing this with others and was dismissive—stating that women are responsible for their own efforts to fit in. This made it impossible to discuss the isolation I was feeling, despite being an experienced traveller who is comfortable being away from family.
The professional atmosphere was further undermined by the owner’s frequent and disparaging remarks about others in the industry. Shareen Geers openly spoke ill of former associates who now lead their own tours, creating an uncomfortable environment of gossip rather than the "empowerment" the group claims to champion. Furthermore, she displayed a surprising amount of ego regarding her own profile; she mocked new followers who asked for an introduction, questioning, "Who am I? I’ve a good mind not to let them on a trip if they don’t know who I am." This gatekeeping attitude and the public airing of professional grievances felt incredibly petty and at odds with a business that supposedly thrives on welcoming new solo travellers.
Most distressingly, Shareen chose to raise details of my private personal life in front of the other women. This breach of privacy was entirely inappropriate and deeply unprofessional for any business owner. I have never felt so alone on a trip, not because I was away from home, but because I was treated like an outsider by the very person meant to lead the group. I would not recommend this group to anyone looking for a genuine, inclusive travel community.
