Mary originally put the concept of Australian Womens Travel together as an option for women whose husbands/ partners/friends where not interested in travel.

The small group works really well, there is a lot of fun and friendships made. We can take our time, eat in small cafes, stop for coffee, see and go and do so many things that large groups can’t or explore places and things you would have never found on your own.

You may have noticed that the two destinations that we specialise in are India and Italy, these are places Mary has been exploring since the early 80's and hopefully her enthusiasm for these countries will be apparent to you.
