A boutique travel agency that designs curated, high-end, small-group tours exclusively for women, offering immersive experiences across Europe.

Tour With Absolutely is recognized as a standout brand in the women’s travel industry, celebrated for its commitment to meaningful cultural exploration and deeply personal travel moments.

Its purpose is simple yet powerful: create journeys that inspire women, foster friendships, and celebrate global connection.

A Boutique Travel Agency with a Distinct Purpose

Tour With Absolutely specializes in curated, high-end, small-group tours exclusively for women—primarily American solo travelers aged 50 and above.

Each itinerary is thoughtfully designed to celebrate connection, creativity, and discovery. The agency’s trips span France, Italy, Belgium, and select European destinations, led by bestselling authors, artists, photographers, and cultural experts.

The focus is always on delivering best value, reliable service, and the best customer experience, ensuring every guest feels seen, supported, and inspired.

Crafting Experiences, Not Just Tours

At its core, Tour With Absolutely blends cultural immersion with personal enrichment.

The approach remains consistent:

Small groups
High-quality hosting
Deep cultural engagement
Authentic local connections
Elevated comfort and attention to detail

A philosophy expressed by the team:

“We don’t just sell a destination, we create experiences that celebrate women.”

This commitment to women-centered travel is what sets the agency apart.

Meaningful Impact and Community Support

Tour With Absolutely actively gives back through environmental efforts and by partnering with family-owned and women-owned businesses across Europe.

Local artisans, culinary creators, boutique brands, and cultural guides all play a role in shaping behind-the-scenes experiences that guests would never access on their own.

These partnerships not only support local economies but also uplift women-led ventures across the regions they explore.

A Travel Philosophy Rooted in Connection

The agency’s values emphasize cultural respect, eco-friendly travel gestures, and meaningful human interaction.

Guests are welcomed into a community where shared experiences become lifelong friendships.

This ethos is echoed by the founder:

“Travel is the best medicine — it reconnects you with yourself and with others.”

Leadership: Emma Gély and a New Chapter

Raised in a bilingual French-British family, founder Emma Gély grew up immersed in multiple cultures. Her background in nursing—and her belief that travel heals—shaped the guiding principles of the agency.

Years of personal journeys across borders strengthened her commitment to connection, empathy, and solidarity among women worldwide.

Her leadership continues to bring a warm, human touch to every tour.
