Their own websites were read on 11 November 2026, with their Google and Trustpilot listings matched by name. This page carries the 11 companies in the table that, on their own websites, run women-only trips and sell a group trip in Italy, where that can be shown in their own words with any price dated; a line that rests only on a price with no year is left out. For companies that also sell private or tailor-made trips, the cards speak of their group departures only. Cards are in alphabetical order. Each line on a card gives what the company's own website says, with a link to the page it came from; a second reader checked 666 of the table's rows against the pages. No company paid to be on this page.

Which of these show a dated price on this page?

Who to contact first
Start with the 5 companies on this page that publish their prices and cancellation charges, then add any other card that fits your dates and budget.
What to ask each one to set out in writing:
- The total price per person in writing and what it includes: hotels, meals, transport, activities, entrance fees and any internal flights.
- The single supplement on your departure, or whether the company will pair you with a roommate and what happens if no roommate is found.
- The largest group on your departure, how many are booked so far and whether the departure is guaranteed to run.
- The deposit, when the balance is due, the cancellation charges by date and how your payment is protected (ATOL, ABTA, USTOA or a trust account).
Women-only trips to Italy: the questions people ask
What should I ask a tour company before booking?
The total price per person and what it includes; the single supplement or whether it will pair you with a roommate; the largest group on your departure and whether it is guaranteed to run; the deposit, the cancellation charges and how your payment is protected.
Can I book with these companies directly?
Yes. Each card links the company's own website or enquiry page; ask for a written quote for your departure that lists what the price includes and the cancellation charges.
Do these companies all sell the same kind of trip?
No. Some run small-group departures open to everyone; some run trips only for solo travellers, women or an age band. Each card says what the company sells, so compare the cards before you ask for quotes.
What is a single supplement?
The extra a solo traveller pays for a room alone. Some companies charge none on some departures; others pair solo travellers with a roommate instead; ask each company for its figure on your departure.
Which of these have the most Google reviews?
Explorer Chick, Solo Female Travelers and Solos Holidays, in that order. A count says how many people reviewed a company, not whether it fits your trip; each card gives the rating and count, read 11 November 2026.
Which of these publish their single supplement?
4 of the 11: Adventures in Good Company, Classic Journeys, The Next Chapter Travel and The Women's Travel Group. Ask each for the figure on your departure.
Which of these publish their cancellation charges?
7 of the 11: Adventures in Good Company, Bold Spirit Travel, Classic Journeys, Solos Holidays, The Next Chapter Travel, The Women's Travel Group and Women Who Explore. Ask each for the full terms in writing before you pay a deposit.
Which of these say how your payment is protected?
2 of the 11: Classic Journeys and Solos Holidays. Check each scheme or licence with its issuer before you book.
Where can I check these facts myself?
Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, with the date they were read.
How were these companies chosen?
Each one is in the Uncompromised Travel solo and small-group tour operators table, built from the companies ChatGPT names most often when asked about solo and small-group travel. On its own website it runs women-only trips and sells a group trip in Italy. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.
Is any company on this page paying to be here?
No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be on it.
