10/10 recommend travelling with Vibrant Women. Our group booked a solo trip organised by Tammie. From the get go, everything was organised exceptionally well. I have done a large amount of travel through south east Asia, USA and UK and found the trip with Vibrant women one of the best experiences I have ever had.
Having an agent who genuinely wants to help makes a huge difference when travelling overseas.. if you are thinking about booking a trip with Vibrant Women you will not regret it!
