The Trip Surpassed My Expectations!
The trip surpassed my expectations, opened my eyes to new experiences I never would've found or done on my own - and deepened my respect for the Moroccan handiwork, artisanry and culture. I've fallen in love with this country even more than I expected to, and I highly recommend Travel Girls Getaways to anyone looking to meet wonderful women or explore new places with an intentional itinerary.

Love The Experiences & Special Surprises Along The Way
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on my very first Travel girls Getaway to Morocco. The experiences and special surprises along the way were all made that much more memorable by the great group of ladies from all over the world. This trip gave me the chance to experience a country and culture that I otherwise might not have felt comfortable to travel to alone. I have high hopes that I will get to join another Travel Girls Getaway in the future!

It Completely Surpassed My Expectations
The Morocco tour was my second trip with Travel Girls Getaways and it completely surpassed my expectations! I had an amazing first experience with Travel Girls Getaways and I was worried that nothing would be able to top it, but this trip was just as great! I love getting to meet a new group of women on each trip and creating friendships and memories that last!
Ashley Chase - Morocco 2019
I Loved Every Single Moment Of This Trip!
I loved every single moment of this trip, all the girls immediately bonded and we spent wonderful days together exploring an exotic country and eating delicious food! This is a fantastic platform to meet new ladies with similar interests from all over the world. It is also a great way to explore places in a group setting that you wouldn't necessarily try on your own!
