KIRKLAND, WA (June 25, 2009) — Ladies planning a trip may ask themselves why go with a women only tour operator? Gutsy Women Travel has the answers?to experience a destination from a unique perspective in a way that is most appealing to women; an opportunity to travel and bond with like-minded women; and safety, particularly in countries that are unfamiliar and may be logistically challenging.

According to company President and Co-Founder, April M. Merenda, “While our trips certainly include all the top sights and “must-see” places, ladies also get to experience the destination from a unique perspective. Our programs are specially designed to be more experiential and intimate, and to reveal a destination’s sense of place through taste, smell and touch – in a way that women prefer to travel.  Our Provence and Paris trips are great examples.”
