Room Talk - Let’s talk sleeping setups (because they matter!)
You’ve found a tour you’d love to join… but then you read “shared room” - and suddenly you’re hesitating. Totally normal.
We’ve talked to so many women who felt the same at first.
That’s exactly why we started our little Room Talk series - to answer the questions you might not want to ask, but still wonder about.
Here’s a quick roundup - honest, practical, and with a bit of humour too.


🚴♀️ From rusty to ready: Cycling Edition
After a long winter it’s normal to wonder: Will I still cope with hours in the saddle?
Maybe you’ve already booked your cycling tour and the big question now is: Am I fit enough?
The good news is – yes!
You don’t need to be “super fit” to enjoy our cycling tours. With a few gentle steps now, you’ll be ready for spring rides that feel good rather than sore.


Will I have to share a room? And… a bed??
If you’ve ever considered joining a women’s group tour as a solo traveller, chances are these questions have popped into your mind.

Spoiler: no one shares a bed (unless you ask to 😉).
👉 Curious? Here’s what to expect – and why so many women end up saying, “That wasn’t nearly as scary as I thought!”
