Why Female Foodie

Why Women Travel with Us

Only the Best

Skip the tourist traps, we've vetted it all: exceptional restaurants, the must-do experiences, and the unforgettable moments. You only have a few precious days in Italy and we know exactly which things deserve your attention.

Designed for Women

Travel curated entirely for women: mothers and daughters, sisters, best friends, and neighbors. Our tours stand out from others because they're designed specifically for women, by women.

Just Show Up

Transportation, tickets, reservations, and tips are handled before you land. We've thought of everything and then some, so for once that someone isn't you.

Before You Book

Can I come on this trip solo?

Our tours are booked in pairs — each room is shared by two guests. On rare occasions, we are able to accommodate a single traveler in one of the rooms in a tour package. Availability is very limited; reach out to us at team@femalefoodie.com to be considered.

What is the physical intensity of the tours?

Moderate to active. We average 12,000–15,000 steps a day on cobblestones, hills, and the occasional gravel road. You should be comfortable walking several miles and handling stairs daily, so bring shoes that are already broken in.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We're unable to accommodate dietary restrictions. Our restaurants and cooking classes serve specially curated menus that reflect authentic regional cuisine.

What is the refund and cancellation policy?

The $1,000 room deposit is non-refundable at any time to the person who paid it. Cancel more than 120 days before your start date and you're refunded all payments, minus the deposit if you paid it; within 120 days, payments are non-refundable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance.

Who can come?

All Female Foodie tour guests must be female, age 18 and up. Come with your designated travel companion: a friend, sister, mother, or daughter.
