The motto at Beatrice Bradley is “We do not tour places, we experience places,” and its South Dakota trip lives up to that philosophy. The company’s tours are designed for women over the age of 45 who love the USA and want to experience its rich history. Trips created by the Beatrice Bradley team are meant to mimic a “friends getaway,” so whether traveling with your own friends or heading out solo, everyone feels at home. Balance is a key component to these trips, so days are filled with exciting adventures, chances for a peaceful walk or an early morning fishing trip, and time to relax by a bonfire at night. Each trip is headed by one or two Beatrice Bradley hosts.
The South Dakota trip begins at Chamberlain’s Thunderstik Lodge, which the group has all to itself. All meals are prepared by the lodge’s chef, and there is plenty of time to walk the beautiful grounds and hang out with the property’s pheasant dogs. Activities include lessons at the lodge’s shooting ranges, a tour of Badlands National Park, shopping in the city of Wall and a pontoon ride down the Missouri River.

PRESS EPOCH TIME: TRAVEL
‘Forever Friendships’: Conservative, Older Women’s Travel Group Is Booming
Between the elections and a pandemic, 2020 brought about deep divisions that made it difficult for people to reach out and form connections during a time when it was needed most.
In the aftermath, Deborah Schutt, Kim Kalan, and Jane Rabe, entrepreneurs with plenty of travel experience, had embarked on a venture to get women back out into the world. They tried wine and cheese events. They tried mother-daughter trips. Kalan, who ran outdoor businesses Gage Outdoors and Big Hat Outdoors with her husband, tried asking that clientele, mostly men, if they’d gift girls trips to their wives.
They were all complete and utter flops.
After a year and a half of failed launches and money lost, the trio went out to lunch together, albeit a little sadly, Kalan said. There, they came up with one more idea.
“We said, let’s see if we can get conservative women to travel together,” Kalan recalled. It turned out to be the perfect formula. The idea would turn into Beatrice Bradley (bbgage.com), a travel club where women would travel solo but experience a destination together in a group of no more than a dozen with a host who has everything already booked and planned.
They put up a Facebook ad targeting conservative, patriotic women over 50, and immediately got a response. That first day, Kalan remembers seeing alerts about new sign-ups by the minute. By the Fourth of July, they had received some 700 members, and Facebook shut the ad down. In 2022, the group organized 32 trips, and this year will see 55. Next year there are some 70 trips planned, more than doubling their first year, with other ventures in the works. Broader travel industry statistics show similar growth: Solo travel is the biggest growing sector, and the vast majority of these travelers are female. A quarter of Americans reported considering a solo trip this year.
“Somehow we stumbled upon it over chicken wings and salad,” Kalan said. “It’s truly magical … these women come together, and a lot of these women come from a bad spot … and they come and they heal. It truly is magical.”
Friendships Forged Through Adventure
Debbie Henderson lost her husband a few years ago. They had been a close couple, and Henderson cared for him all the way to the end. She’d brought him home from the hospital, and set up a hospital bed for him in their home by a window and slept nearby. She heard him take his last breaths, saw him close his eyes for the last time, and then she called the funeral home and crawled into bed beside him to wait. After he passed, she fell into a deep depression, losing her appetite for life. She dropped a drastic amount of weight and was skeletal at 95 pounds, when one days she woke up and realized she had stopped living herself, and decided it had been long enough.
“I started my journey back to living again and that’s when I found Beatrice Bradley and that’s why I tell them that they saved my life,” Henderson said. “I needed to get back to my life and they gave me the opportunity.”
Henderson isn’t the only one with a story like this, Kalan explained. Some of these women lost spouses by death or divorce, some have lost children to suicide, and many have lost friends. She can hear the courage they’ve mustered up in order to book these trips when she speaks to them by phone, and she’s experienced numerous times in person the transformation that they undergo on these five to seven day trips. Schutt remembers one woman who told her she hadn’t laughed in the past two years after losing her husband and lived in a cloud of gloom, but on that trip she took she smiled and laughed every single day.
“Jane and Deborah and I, we’ve lost a lot of our friends. And it’s hard. It’s sad. You don’t know how to have fun anymore. So these women come on these trips, and they truly learn how to have fun again,” Kalan said. “They’re all grandmas going ziplining, going rafting, hiking, eating fabulous food.”
Women the average age of 67 decide to step into an adventure, ziplining together and swimming with the manatees. The more adventurous the trip, the more it seems to appeal to the older set, Kalan quipped, and on every trip these hosts hear women say that they’d had the trip of a lifetime. But, they add, the magic of it is really in the camaraderie.
Henderson and her husband had both been in the travel business and took vacations together frequently, but traveling alone seemed too intimidating for her. With a group of other women, in similar age range and with similar views—Beatrice Bradley stresses repeatedly in its signup process that the club is for conservative, patriotic women who love America—Henderson and other women said they have one less thing to worry about. There’s no fear being ostracized on a trip, or a political debate dividing a travel group; and as such the travelers usually leave behind the issues of politics altogether in pursuit of adventure.
Ivy McKinney has a long bucket list of places she wanted to experience, and a husband who will travel but doesn’t quite enjoy it. Many times, she says, he will ask whether one of her girlfriends could go with her instead. She considered traveling alone, but wasn’t quite sold on the idea of having to plan out everything herself and then sit in restaurants alone. The meticulous planning at Beatrice Bradley convinced McKinney after her first trip to then book five more, many of them with women she met on her first trip.
“They just think of everything,” McKinney said. The trips are paid for up front, and travelers book their own flights. Once they arrive, hotels, meals, snacks, itinerary, and everything else is covered for and considered, so there aren’t additional fees or planning to take care of while you’re there, McKinney said. The company is a boutique one, selecting unique accommodations like a mansion in the mountains and local chef-driven restaurants. It’s not budget travel; trip costs run in the thousands. McKinney’s New York City Christmas trip was around $3,000, and international trips run higher, Schutt’s recent Costa Rica and Ireland trips coming out between $6,000 and $7,000. At this price tag, the Beatrice Bradley team is conscious that the trips are truly special experiences for these women, and make it so that the women need not focus on anything but enjoying the experience.
“And the great thing is, that was kind of unexpected for me, was that I made friends that I’ll have for the rest of my life,” McKinney said. “I know all about their lives and they know all about mine, so it’s really forever friends. You just don’t really have the opportunity to make friends like that in your day to day life.”
At the request of several club members, the Beatrice Bradley team cautiously ventured into couples’ trips. One such trip went well this year, and more may come in the future. The founders say a travel club for younger women, in their 30s and 40s, is also on the horizon.
Beatrice
Beatrice Bradley is named after Schutt’s grandmother, Beatrice Belle Baker Bradley.
“My grandmother was a take-no-prisoners kind of feisty women,” Schutt said. “She’d say, come and let’s have a little adventure today. I remember when I was 4 she took me to the movie ‘Gigi’ … we’d grab our coats and get into the car and go somewhere, just spend the day doing something fun.”
“She really, really said to me, you need to embrace adventure. Have fun. Don’t be afraid of it. Don’t let anybody talk you out of something. Be fearless. Push yourself and try something new and different, you’re going to enjoy life so much more,” Schutt said. “She was very bold in that way, well before her time.”
Beatrice did not have the opportunity to travel the world, or much at all, but the fearlessness Schutt admired in her grandmother inspired her to name the travel club after her. “It puts people together and gives them a chance to be fearless and embrace adventure and meet all these new people.”

Review: There were several meaningful connections, it’s hard to say which one was most meaningful. I connected perfectly with my roommate who I didn’t know beforehand. We had great discussions at the end of every day about our experiences on the trip and just in our everyday lives. Also, there was a traveler who liked to walk fast and take a lot of pictures like me so we first connected in that way. I also felt a more spiritual connection with the host Ellen. She was wonderful…great leader, caring, listener, observer, organizer, Christian. Again, there were several times that I truly felt connected. The times that stick out the most are the introductions we did around the dinner table, the star gazing on the dock, the picnic lunches and the singing in the van. Although this is my first trip with Beatrice Bradley, it is my 4th solo group travel experience. All of them have had little hiccups or maybe someone you don’t prefer but the hosts make sure that everyone is enjoying their experience. It’s really fun, even for an introvert like me, to meet and get to know people from all over the Country. It’s rather grounding, in a way, seeing and hearing about other people’s struggles and triumphs. And, of course, it is a great way to see places that might have been hard to get to or coordinate on your own. Beatrice Bradley goes above and beyond with the scheduling, activities, meals, accommodations and gifts. You care and it shows. I already mentioned Ellen above. I loved her. She was really the mom of the whole group and had firm control of what was happening even if things were not going as planned. She’s a ray of sunshine. Karen was the other host on my trip and she was full or fun and excitement. She made everyone feel seen and encouraged us to be engaged.

Review: There are so many different women, religions, backgrounds, interests, hobbies…you are bound to find at least one if not many women with similar interests that will engage you in a conversation, join you in a hike, a drink, a swim….not once have i ever felt lonely or like an outcast. And if the guests should not be compatible, the hosts always jump in to make you feel loved. This is my first trip with Karen, and she went above and beyond to “rake care” of me (she will know what I mean). I would have missed out on the canoeing if not for her, she went above and beyond despite mt telling her that I didn’t need to go…and I gad an amazing time and found a lifetime friend! Ellen, it was so good to see you again, and see that you are as sweet as ever. Karen, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet you and will be forever in your debt for going above and beyond what I believe a host should have to be required to do for a host (…thank goodness for John and Moosh! Thanks for an amazing trip!

Review: Everyone on this trip was wonderful. We all got along so well and everyone seemed to care! Several times people approached us to ask if we were old time friends and couldn’t believe we had just met! The group was small enough that you got to know everyone and had time to interact with each other. There were so many wonderful experiences-there was something for everyone’s interests. If I had to pick one I would say going out on the airboat to different beaches and learning about all the diversity of creatures from the land, sea and air in the area. I have traveled with other groups some even solo travel groups and this is the best trip I have taken. You have spoiled me. Your hostess are incredible and really took good care of all of us!

Review: Everyone on this trip was nice and we all got along great. We enjoyed the activities planned and went with the flow when things didn’t work out. I truly enjoyed everything about thus trip. I love beaches and the activities planned were perfect. It was a big leap for me to decto go on the first trip but the hostesses made it feel so comfortable. I would tell someone who’s hesitant, what have you got to lose? And it’s all in your own attitude on how much you’ll enjoy the trip. Thanks to Ellen Swanson and Melissa Paulson for making our trip the greatest. You’ve set the bar high for the next trip, I hope my expectations are met.

Review: Met some really neat ladies on this trip. We have our group text still going. Sharing our travel plans. I made plans for a trip in May. Another person is joining with possibly two more looking at it as well. It was a great group. Also one lady from my first Mackinac Island trip is looking to join the trip in May as well maybe. I enjoyed just eating and talking with the ladies around the dinner table every night. We laughed a lot! I also offered to ride with Ellen so she did not have to ride alone to Nags Head and again back to the Airport. I truly enjoyed talking with her and getting to know her a little bit more! What a treasure for Beatrice Bradley! Taking the first step/trip is the hardest! But I promise you won’t regret it and you will be hooked. You will meet new friends in a great stress-free way to travel! Your only problem will be deciding where you would like to travel on your next BB trip! My second trip with Ellen and she is amazing at putting everyone at ease. She keeps a great attitude while keeping everyone moving and on time. She is a great hostess for BB! Melissa was upbeat and drove that huge van like a BOSS with everyone gabbing! She is just as delightful! You guys do a great job of picking people as BB hostesses!

Review: It was an overall great experience meeting women from the East, Midwest and South side of the country, with me coming from AZ. We had lots of laughs and no complaining “Karen’s” which is always a joy! All of our fun activities connected us, as well as our dinners, getting to know each other even better. Sitting next to different women at lunch, dinner and on the bus helped us learn more about each other. I’d share my own experiences after having taken 3 trips with Beatrice Bradley. It’s great and empowering to take that leap of faith and learn you’re not alone in your solo journey in life. I watched several transformations on the Outer Banks trip which was cool to see. I absolutely loved meeting Ellen and Melissa! They are so down to Earth, warm, accommodating and funny. I would definitely sign on to another trip with either one of them hosting. I was sad the trip was over when it was because I had such a great time!

Review: It was connecting with all the lovely ladies. We all got along so well. It just made the trip memorable. A group of us were floating down the river watching the bald eagle soaring above us and the sounds of the river. Truly paradise. Go for it. You will have a marvelous experience and meet wonderful women. Thank you Connie and Suzanne fantastic time. Sorry it ended so soon. Loved being out in nature.

Review: My roommate was great! Been on 1 other trip with her. I met someone who was recently widowed, so we could share about loss and grief. I think the last night when we all shared our experiences. It was very moving to hear from everyone how much they enjoyed it! I would share what a wonderful time they will have and how many friends they will make and even go with them if that would be agreeable. Our hosts were wonderful, considerate and fun. Karen is so organized and can always make adjustments for anyone. I think she is great and u r fortunate to have her. Liz was also wonderful..

Review: I have a hard time making friends, but everyone that was on the trip made me feel so comfortable and included me in quite a bit. Karla and Connie were exceptional hosts. One of the days that we just relaxed at home and went swimming as a group so much fun. Just a bunch of us floating around and playing in the pool and chitchatting. This was my first trip with Beatrice Bradley and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to travel, but doesn’t want to do it by themselves. I booked a trip to Charleston because I had been there before and wanted to see what the difference would have been when I went with my husband versus as a group. I am definitely going through your list of bookings and should be booking a second third and maybe fourth soon. Thank you so much Karla and Connie. The two of you just spoiled the heck out of us. I hope to see you again in future travels.

Review: From not knowing anyone to making friends and having wonderful conversations and many laughs. That sums up my experience. I’m a recent widow after 47 years, never living on my own. Somehow I found this group and signed up for the trip. I knew I couldn’t back out after I paid and bought my plane ticket! Karen & Liz, our hosts, were both awesome. Caring, informed and so much fun. I connected with many of the women, and I felt accepted and encouraged by all. The activities were exactly what I would have chosen! I loved the tours, boat rides, exploration and restaurants. So many of the women were widows. They were so encouraging to me in letting me know that this road is long and it is hard, but I will make it. I will be successful. I will never forget, but I will learn to live fully. They made it easier for me to let go and truly enjoy myself on this trip. Knowing that this group in for women who love America and God, Small groups, so many fun things are planned and everything is taken care of. Pick a trip, pay your money and pack your bag! Don’t worry about fashion or even packing lots & lots of clothes. Many of us were wearing things two or three times! Karen & Liz were superior hosts. They were friendly and caring. They let us into their hearts right away. I feel they were perfectly paired for each other and this trip because they never stepped on each other, kept us informed at all times with paper schedule, texts, always looking ahead so we were never surprised or out of the loop. Even to the point of if we were walking to someplace, they would tell our gathered group, “ok, when we walk out that door we are all going to the left.” One in front, on in back. I always felt in the loop. I miss them in my life right now!

Review: Having stayed in the beautiful Isle of Palms home was exceptional. We were able to bond, talk, play and simply enjoy living together. Whereas, in a hotel you just don’t get that. The location was perfect to get to know a someone walking on the beach or simply watching a movie. There wasn’t one moment. We lived together. No better way to know someone. My 1st trip was to Nashville. I was hesitant but I quickly made lifelong friends. And our hosts (Connie) were exceptional at encouraging us to get to know everyone. I never felt like I was on a solo trip. In fact, 2 “friends” I made in Nashville came to this trip in Charleston. I would say and have told others “you are not alone on these experiences. You will come away with memories, friendships and lots of smiles. I really connected with Connie in Nashville and it made me so happy to see her in Charleston. She and Karla worked extra hard for us. Being in a house, they took charge of food and cleaning up, no matter how much we offered to help.. They were organized, they were creative, they were sweet and simply the best! They put us all at ease and encouraged us to step out of our comfort zone.

Review: it was so wonderful to travel with women who had the same political conservative ideals, and who pretty much thought the same way as I did. It was a really cohesive, lovely group of ladies that Karla and Connie brought together. And as hostesses they couldn’t have been more perfect. They tended to our every need, they were great chefs and they really took care of us above and beyond. And the house was truly lovely. It was nice to be in a house because then we were able to come together more often and share stories and get to know each other. Do puzzles, watch TV ,go swimming. It was all wonderful. The one moment on this trip that made me feel connected was when we did the introductions of each other all around the dining room table. And we told a little bit about each of our lives. And we all led such different lives and came from such different places so it was great to hear the stories. Everyone watched out for each other and made sure we were all aware we were supposed to be when we were supposed to be. I really appreciate all these ladies were always on time but as far as traveling solo, it’s a great group to be in because the hostesses are so attentive. I truly appreciate each of you, Connie and Karla as you were very attentive to all of our needs needs and took care of us like mother hens should. You were wonderful food preppers and such lovely caring people all in all. Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you on another trip.

Review: Enjoyed staying in the home on the beach! Gave the best opportunity to connect daily with the other ladies! Sharing the porch with the ocean view helped to relax more and provided lots of talking time! Loved it! Sitting outside at night with the ladies watching the ocean waves and the setting sun is priceless! Also having the same conservative values was a huge bonus! We could talk freely about God, politics, our “issues” and know that the ladies were supportive! I have traveled solo on many trips so this is not a concern of mine! You just have to jump in and try it! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My roommate, Theresa, was the best! We have so much in common. Niagara Falls was so beautiful and majestic. Truly God’s creation. This trip has made a believer of me in Beatrice Bradley. I am already reviewing trips to see where to go next. Thank you Wynndy and Kelly for being such great hostesses and with us every step of the trip. Thanks to all the ladies who were so friendly. Such a life experience. One I hope to repeat soon.

Review: I lost my traveling companion who I traveled with for 31 years. I’m VERY single – as in never married & no children and I live alone – so companionship on a vacation was very important to me. Traveling with a small group was also very important to me. My moment of connection occurred when I learned that I wasn’t the only person who had lost my traveling companion & that I so very much missed traveling. Beatrice Bradley has allowed me to travel again. If you love to travel, you want someone else to plan your trip, you don’t want to travel alone – then sign up for a trip! I think all beatrice bradley travelers have the same fears & concerns – so you’re not alone & you won’t be alone on a tour.

Review: I just enjoyed all the wonderful ladies and especially both tour guides : Karen & Liz! They were Fantastic, Fabulous & Fun! Both were very kind, helpful, personal and positive, & professional! I was in awe the whole time! Loved all the events, adventures, experiences & hotels, fabulous food, just wouldn’t change anything!! Can’t wait to go again!! Many, if not most were widows like me and many were Christians, like me; and we all love our country! It was just thrilling to be a part of this very fun group. Both Liz and Karen were exceptional on names, which I had difficulty remembering but they knew everyone. Well she would be totally taken care of!! All the ladies were so helpful to each other and I felt appreciated the moment I met Karen at the airport! No one should hesitate to travel with this tour group, very safe and exceptional in every aspect. I absolutely LOVED both Liz and Karen!! Would be thrilled to accompany them again on any trip. Both SO personable and fun, thorough and professional! Love them!!!

Seeing the Falls from my hotel room windows was breathtaking. Then seeing the Falls upclose on the Maid of the Mist was spectacular. I was a little nervous on my first trip about 2 years ago. When I came back from Boston, I knew this was the group for me. I just finished my 5th trip and have 3 more booked.

Canada was beautiful and our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. I felt completely comfortable everywhere we went. I would say take that leap of faith and do it! I had a traveling buddy this time but would absolutely go alone on a Beatrice Bradley trip after seeing how top notch the company is. Every single detail was taken care of smoothly and efficiently. Wynndy and Kelly were fabulous! They were so warm and friendly and made sure they interacted with each of us. Wish I could do all of the trips with them.

Review: Walking down the street at Niagara on the Lske was really magical. This trip had just the right amount of touring and shopping experiences. Charleston and the Tulips and Windmills river cruise was too much touring and not enough shopping and filling up on the ambiance of the location. BB provides the perfect experience for solo travelers because the hosts take such good care of us.

Review: ALL the ladies and I just clicked. Seamed like we’d been friends forever. I can’t praise Wynndy and Kelly enough. There are no words to describe how gracious, loving and patient with us. They are the best!!! All the places we went were fabulous and the food was perfect. I felt like a queen. The Hilton was fabulous. Can’t say enough good about this trip. I will definitely recommend you and can’t wait until I get another trip booked. Would love to have another adventure with this group of ladies with Wynndy and Kelly as our guides. Would love a train trip in the USA. Thank you so much. Love you all. I’ve never gone solo but a lot of the ladies have. My best friend Cindy Head travel a lot together. We did this trip together. I’m a widow and her husband works all the time so we travel together. Loved our hosts. Can’t say enough about them. In every area they were fabulous. We all loved them. Wynndy and Kelly.

Review: Hey, lady! I have taken 3 trips this year so far with Beatrice Bradley as a solo, single, widowed traveler and the trips have never missed a beat yet! The ladies that show up on these trips are absolutely the best of the best that one could ever tour with! So friendly and outgoing! The hostesses are excellent and are very sensitive to your enjoyment of every moment spent. They are extremely accommodating should any special need or situation that comes up along the way. Believe me, you will be well taken care of and meet a bunch of wonderful new people to boot. Wynndy and Kelly were the absolute most caring hosts in the world! They are on top of their game here in all aspects of the trip. They are so helpful and attentive. They are also very clear in their communication of what is coming up next and where to meet and at what times. They see us off when we have to part ways and are so completely authentic and caring about all of us fellow travelers. I hope to have them again in the future, and already had Wynndy for Mackinac Island in June 2024.

Review: I loved the itinerary and being busy throughout the day. The people on the trip were all engaging, interesting, and fun people to associate with, as they made traveling fun. Maximizing time and being able to see as much as possible in a short period of time is a benefit of going on group travel. It takes away some of the busy work an individual person would have to coordinate and allows you to be able to explore more territory in a short time frame. I loved the history the tour guides provided as we were traveling around to all the different places to view the falls. Not only were the views from different areas beautiful, the information provided made you feel connected to the rich history of the area and community. The hostesses make everything very easy for you and can answer all your questions or concerns. They make traveling easy. Wynndy and Kelly were perfect hosts for the trip. I love being around positive, happy people and they were gracious hosts. I am so glad I decided to take the chance on a Beatrice Bradley vacation and would recommend it to anyone wishing to explore new territory.

Review: I found so many new friends on this trip. I met 2 very special ladies and will now consider them close friends going forward. Everyone got along so well, and truly wanted to hang out together. I enjoy the camaradrie and watching others overcome their fears in trying something new. That’s always something special for me on these trips. The vast moutnains and clean air, jeeping through the Garden of Gods, watching and holding hands with others when they were scared to go tubing, ziplining or even just walking about. The Colorado trip was planned perfectly, the 2 hotels we stayed in were fantastic, clean and were in perfect locations. Food was great. Each day was a new adventure with beautiful scenery and fun things to do. Our age group was 58 – 78 years old. The trip is so well planned that everyone was able to share their experiences together, some a little spryer than others, Yes Patty I’m talking about you and love you for it! The Colorado trip is my 4th trip with Beatrice Bradley and I enjoyed every minute of it! Besides the pre-trip call and the information you receive before the trip, your only obligation is to get on the plane and arrive at your destination. When you get off the plane, you already have a text telling you the location and how to get there to meet your hostesses and your soon to be new friends. After your initial meet, it’s all fun and no worry for the whole trip! Yes, you can do this, Beatrice Bradley makes it that easy. The hostesses were Sharon and Karen. Sharon was an awesome host and very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and calm. She is one of the top hosts I had so far. Karen is a fun, friendly and very kind person. She is my host for my next trip – Ely and boundary Waters.

Made friendships very quickly and because we were all conservative we could be ourselves. Didn’t have to hide. Karla and Melissa were great. I really enjoyed them and they went out of their way to make sure everyone was having fun..

Review: I was happy – an relieved- that everyone was very welcoming to all and conversation was easy. Really connected with the group at meals, when conversation went beyond sightseeing. Loved a chances we had to just walk around Marth’s Vineyard. Take a chance, be positive and open-minded. Not only did I make friends and see the sights I also found confidence in what I had to offer the group.

The hosts make things very comfortable and it helps that most things are planned in advance. There is free time to reast or e3xplore on your own. I would like to give Wynndy and Connie a big thank you for everything they did for me. With all the walking my knee began to hurt and they were good to help me. Thank you again!

Review: Meaningful connection was by far, being in the mountains, valleys, rivers, and streams again. Having been born and raised in Northern California, and recently living in Florida, I was brought to tears by my hearts desire to return to such Nature. Traveling between our venues was amazing. Colorado was just what I needed to gather the strength to throw aside the idea that at the age of 77, I am not up to making the move back to happiness. Truly connected with the terrain. This was a life changing adventure. The women who shared this adventure were easy going and a pleasure to be with. Until I decided to travel with BB, I only traveled solo. So for me, it was the the idea of solo “group” travel that held me back. I couldn’t have been more wrong. From the very first encounter at the airport everything just fell into place. Having my own room was key. One has the comforting feeling of independence, with the delight of knowing every detail has been taken care of. There seems to be a special energy being emitted through BB to attract a certain type of woman. Truly compatible. Thank you Beatrice.

I love how the company does all the “grunt” work—finding the best hotels, local restaurants, and all the fun and interesting places to visit and experience. The hosts keep things moving and are there for us but not in a pushy way. Pampering at its best!

Review: Wonderful experience meeting other women over 50 from all over the USA. After one day we formed a bond. Sharon and Karen were excellent hosts. Their goal was to ensure we had a memorable and pleasant experience. We were stopped everywhere we went and asked where we were from. Colorado was beautiful and the choice of activities were a great experience. You are at ease from day one. It works because it is a small group. The hosts could not be more welcoming to make sure your trip is a great experience.

Review: The ladies were very friendly and engaging! So many things but my favorite was the river cruise and the spiral church. So different and absolutely beautiful. I loved christina it was such a unique part of town. My favorite meal was at Jordan parents house because of the atmosphere and kindness they showed us my favorite restaurant was Monday night. I don’t remember the name. The Nordic soup was delicious. Denmark people are very proud of their country. It is very clean and they are respectful of each other. The history is very important to them. They are very resourceful and are very much into saving the planet. This was my first BB trip. I was nervous going into it of course The hosts were incredible so very kind and sincere. They wanted me to have the best time possible. The ladies came from far and wide but we joined together and formed a pack as everyone was in the same situation. The activities we very well thought out tickets purchased reservations made tours engaging. It went like clockwork. I signed up for another trip with them before this trip was over!!! Just do it!!

Review: Yes. It was really great getting to know all about new people, but also learning what we had in common in our life experiences. I enjoyed the Freedom Trail for the history and the Hop on/off trolley for the freedom to do different things. Loved Legal Seafood for the delicious food. Every day! Lots of information given by people at our activities and our hosts were knowledgeable about how to get around and fun things to do. I would 100% recommend traveling with Beatrice Bradley. I did the Boston/Marthas Vineyard trip. I had wanted to go, but did not feel comfortable going alone. This turned out to be the perfect solution. Everything is taken care of from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. The hosts keep everything on track and take care of any issues that may come up. Lodging and food were incredible and activities were fun as well as educational. The hosts were fun and so kind and committed to making this an amazing trip. The women in our group got along really well and formed good connections that will last. I am already looking into my next trip. Take the chance-you won’t regret it!

I also loved the hot air balloon ride (even though I was nervous at first). I did. The different terrains, animals and food. I tried all the different game meats and I liked them. I slept outside on the balcony and the stars were bright. I felt like I could reach up and touch them. It was amazing.! I felt comfortable from day one. I met lots of great people and after a few days we were like old friends. The trip more than exceeded my expectations. It was a trip of a lifetime. Our hostess Mercy and Connie were fantastic! Rich, our driver kept us entertained all the time. So much laughter.

Review: The food was plentiful and awesome. All of the activities were great, but I think I enjoyed the shooting the most. Yes, I learned about the buffalo, the trees, and the Missouri River; I didn’t taste buffalo, but perhaps next time. I learned about the farmers & plains people. I loved traveling SOLO! Not once did anyone ask me to make a decision about where to go or what to eat. I LOVED that!! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. It was like we all bonded as a family to help each other out or look out for each other.

Review: What a great adventurous group of ladies! We all talked about how good it felt to talk openly about everything patriotic????????. We will keep our text thread open to keep texting one another. The shooting ended up being my favorite even though I had never shot before. Dana and Carey were the best making us feel comfortable. The ladies that prepared our food did an excellent job preparing delicious meals everyday. Kudos to all of them and to our bartenders. Discovered that the land was so flat and vast. Thunderstik by far has the most beautiful view. So many of these ladies have lead such an interesting life. Solo women—- you can do this! You will feel so bonded with the new group of ladies you meet. Created new friendships that will continue.

Review: This was my 4th visit to DC; and the best “well rounded” experience of all.
The prior visits were twice with one other person, and on the last visit I spent a week solo. This trip was the very best of all. There was not one time I disagreed with any of the decisions made regarding the use of our time. Having everything prescheduled was perfect. Up to this point I have been a recluse, 99% of the time, I travel solo. Have driven across the U.S.A 12 times. I adopt senior shepherds, so it was me and my dog. Between dogs now, so it’s time for different travel. Every one of the women on the DC trip was a pleasure to be with. And I believe the feeling was mutual. We were in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. I felt like I belonged. Like being with special lifelong friends, just comfortable. Everyone was real.
For those who hesitate joining in:
Feelings of comradery from day one. There is a feeling of fitting in. All looking after one another like family.
Every need is fulfilled, from airport greeting, to gleeful (and yet sad) farewells.
Restaurant reservations, professional tour companies, hotels, and superior hostesses. All very high-end. Not for one moment was there fear of disruption in our smoothly running experience. At least not one that we couldn’t just laugh at!
I’m 77, and a Gypsy at heart. I feel as if I have found a great company in Beatrice Bradley. For me, the experience of travel has been enhanced. The benefit of solo travel, with all of the benefits of a personal tour guide.
It’s not a cliché ladies, the truth is LIFE ON THIS EARTH is short. Love it before you leave it; it’s a beautiful place ✌

This was my first trip to Europe and the guides we had each day were very knowledgeable about the history of the area and gave great recommendations for things to se and food to try. Traveling with Beatrice Bradley on trips is so much fun. My husband doesn’t like to travel outside the country and I felt very safe traveling with this group. Our time together was filled with laughter and we formed bonds. The women on the trip were so much fun. Girl trips are the best! This was my second trip and a lady I met on my first trip joined me. We are now lifelong friends. We did. Ellen and Sharon were very interesting and we had many good discussions. They were a lot of fun.

Review: The entire trip was carefully curated and delivered. Landing on a glacier was exciting and special, but the entire experience of traveling from Homer by float plane and various water crafts to dinner at the Wandering Goat was absolutely incredible. There is so much to see and love about Alaska. Every day on this trip allowed me to experience new things. Solo travel with other women has opened up the world for me. After my first trip to New Orleans in November 2022, I kept on traveling solo, with and without the travel buddies I have made along the way. The other travelers go out of their way to make others comfortable, and Beatrice Bradley does an excellent job creating an experience rather than simply an itinerary.

Review: Although I enjoyed all the activities, I think I enjoyed the Olympic park and the horse ride. Although I ride horses every day, this was an extremely beautiful trail and the horses were so well behaved. The Olympic park was a great adventure. I enjoyed being in Utah very much. My sister and I toured the city in our free time using the scooters, that is a memory I won’t forget. I’m not a very good review writer, so not so sure I can come up with something that might encourage anyone. Because I went with my sister there was no risk in it for me. I enjoy meeting new ladies and Utah seemed like a great destination. Now that I’ve been on one and know what it’s like, I’d sign up for another and go solo.

Review: So many favorite activities, I can’t pick just one. Top of the list would be touring the Grand Hotel at our leisure to enjoy refreshments and the view. Also the Carriage Tour of the Island with all the fun tidbits of information the drivers shared. All of the restaurants were great. One place not on the schedule that we stopped for lunch the first day had a fun atmosphere and great food was Patrick Doud’s Irish Pub. I did not know what to expect but everyone that had ever been to Mackinac Island loved it and now I know why. I learned about the history of the area, the flowers and atmosphere was spectacular. And learning how they operate the businesses throughout the year regarding the horses and summer employees, etc. was so interesting. This was my second trip with Beatrice Bradley and I was much more comfortable going into this trip knowing that friendships would be made quickly and easily. We are all there for the same purpose – to enjoy ourselves, encourage others to enjoy themselves, laugh and share our stories. All while enjoying a new experience in a part of the country on our bucket list. And thanks to the Beatrice Bradley coordinators and hosts, we are pampered and taken care of every step of the way.

Review: All were great. Honestly just walking around the town and visiting the sites was fabulous. But if I had to select just one favorite it would be the Grand Hotel visit. My least favorite (although I did not mind it was the carriage tour. You really get enough of the carriage type tours by the horse drawn taxi. You could easily leave that off. My favorite restaurant was the Sea Biscuit. But again, ALL the restaurants were great. All keepers 🙂 All of it was new! this was my first time on the island and would advise anyone to go! If you are thinking about a solo trip with Beatrice Bradley, stop thinking and just do it! The trip was fabulous in every way. The hosts were fantastic, the hotel and restaurants were all 5 Star and fabulous. And last but not least of all was the great camaraderie with the ladies!

Review: I have been on other trips where I travel there alone then meet up with the tour group. While those tours were fine, the Beatrice Bradley experience outdid that other company by a hundred miles! The hostesses were so accommodating and extremely friendly and people-oriented. They sincerely were on point with everything they planned and exuded such enthusiasm during the trip. They always made sure everyone was accounted for on each excursion and were very conscientious in everything they put their mind to. I will always from now on travel with Beatrice Bradley based on the experiences I had during this trip.

Review: If you are hesitant about traveling alone, BB makes sure you are not alone. When I got to the airport, I had already met 3 of the travelers. When we landed in Montana, we were met by the host and a few others that landed from different flights. Because we already know we are a conservative, USA loving group, we already had something in common. It took a few hours to realize that I had made life-long friends. Whether we see each other on the next trip or not, we can always keep in touch. Sign-up, take the chance, get bit by the travel bug, and make friendships and memories to last a lifetime.

Review: I was uncertain how I would fit in with a group of women after being divorced raising my girls alone for 25 years. I went in cautiously optimistic and this trip more than exceeded my expectations. It was wonderful! The ladies were all engaging and like minded and the trip was AMAZING. The views are continually breathtaking! The activities are wonderfully planned and allow you to experience a lot of what the parks have to offer. You will not be disappointed! Mercy and Suzanne are an experienced team that know the area well and will keep the trip running smoothly if any blips happen along the way. The fact that everything is included was wonderful. You don’t have to worry about additional charges unless you decide to go do activities on you own( although I don’t know why you would do that). Everyone is included and meant to feel welcome. I would highly recommend this trip. Jump in with both feet – you will not be disappointed!

Review: I thoroughly enjoyed meeting other women from all over the country. I had some wonderful conversations. My favorite was seeing all the different Austrian Architecture as I had never seen it in person before. Also enjoyed the Mozart and Vivaldi concert at Mirabelle Palace. Yes, I learned that the people who live in Austria are friendly and seem to be appreciative of the business they received. Also, I always seem to forget how close together everything is in Europe, relatively speaking. I would definitely encourage Solo travel on a Beatrice Bradley. I’m hoping to take another Beatrice Bradley tour in the future. Everything was very well organized and the leaders were wonderful.

No one should hesitate to sign up for one of these trips as you will never feel alone or lonely. I have a number of additional trips planned.

Review: As a recent widow who had never done a solo vacation trip I had no idea what to expect, but BB seemed at least likely to avoid the unpleasant political/cultural arguments that are so common these days. This trip far exceeded my expectations. The two hosts were keenly attuned to our various needs and abilities and the all-inclusive plan made it utterly worry-free.
I strongly recommend.

Review: My first adventure traveling solo with Beatrice Bradley exceeded my expectations! From the moment I landed at the airport, I was greeted by my host Ellen, and then my group was safely whisked away in a comfortable shuttle to our destination. I loved that the activities and meals on the trip were inclusive, well managed and communicated by hosts Ellen and Wenndy and there was no question on where we were going or when I needed to be ready to participate in the next adventure or meal. I met many amazing women on the trip and I look forward to my next trip with Beatrice Bradley.

Review: I was very nervous about doing something like this and my husband thought I was crazy. But after doing it, I am so excited to sign up for another trip. I felt that being in a group was safer, And we did things that I might not do If I were by myself. I would encourage all ladies that like to travel with like-minded women to sign up for a Beatrice Bradley trip.

Review: I highly recommend Beatrice Bradley travel if you are anxious about traveling solo. The caliber of women really makes the experience, fun and engaging. Everyone is like-minded and it is easy to have conversations and make friends. You will not feel alone on this trip!. Our hostesses were amazing- Connie, Karl and Karen. They all had different personalities, but were equally friendly, helpful, and perfect for this adventure.

Our Hostesses, Connie and Kelly, were beyond fabulous. They made every stop along the way so easy, enjoyable, and fun. It opened the door for me for more BB experiences. Now that I have made friends all over our great country, I am planning on making more. Just Do It! You will never regret it.

Review: The ladies were great! Each and every one was fun and interesting. I had never been to Nashville so all of it was new and exciting. That is why I think I liked the Golf Cart Tour because we saw parts of Nashville that most people wouldn’t have gotten to see. This was one heck of a trip! Everything was so impeccably thought out and our hosts could not have been more perfect for all of us. This was my first trip and I truly did not know what to expect. I could not have imagined how much fun I would have!! Definitely going to plan another trip!!!

Review: Yes, many good conversations with everyone. I think having like mindsets was refreshing. We had some serious conversations but many many laughs! Everything was wonderful so hard to choose. Grand Ole Opry, line dancing lesson, museums, golf cart tour and all restaurants were fabulous. Do it! I guess since I did join and travel to the destination solo, I was solo. However it never felt solo after that. It always felt like you had a group of friends waiting for you, and we did. Fabulous trip and our hostesses Connie & Kelly were awesome. They really made us feel looked after but not hovering or restrictive. They also were keen on what the group needed and when without us really needing to ask. If we did, they were very receptive to assist.

Review: As a single mom, I spent many years raising my family and never really going on a real vacation. Now that my children are grown and have families of their own, it’s time for me to see our country but no partner to go with. Beatrice Bradley is a fantastic company that plans and organizes everything, and they have zeroed in on some wonderful places across our country to go visit. This was my second trip and both trips have been filled with fun places to go and interesting women to travel with. Great way to experience the USA.

Review: I learned that the “big city” was a tad safer than I expected-especially in the tourist areas. These areas seemed to have a small town feel and the people working in the areas were very friendly & engaging. The scenery was beautiful with fresh flowers all over Annapolis and so much greenery everywhere! What do you do when your husband doesn’t like to travel like you do? You find a travelling group. This group happens to be for Conservative women! 11 women from 7 States signed up to enjoy this experience. 2 were hostesses for the company & took care of all the arrangements, 2 were cousins, 2 were friends & the rest of us were virtual strangers. What we had in common was the love of travel. We had widowers, divorcees and married travelers whose spouses don’t enjoy travel! I just returned from an awesome trip to Philadelphia to learn more about our brave Patriots who signed the Declaration at Independence Hall. 3 days was not enough time to experience it all but we tried. I think one hostess tracked that we had walked 5 miles in one day! Then onto Annapolis, Maryland for a short 2.5 days of more history. Both cities were actually our original US Capitals!! It was great learning so much, meeting new friends, trying new foods and making memories.

Review: Our local guide, Nancy plus our amazing hostess’ made the entire trip so enjoyable! All the amazing views from every aspect of the falls & The historic aspect was amazing! & my friend & went zip lining definitely challenging my fears of heights & water! I’ve tried several new adventures on my BB trips with this being the latest. Yes I learned quite a bit about the history of the falls plus got to know my travel mates. I would highly recommend Beatrice Bradley as a travel group especially a a single female, our group had ladies from all over the US and a variation of ages, plus opportunities to do more challenging excursions if you choose to. My friend & I who met on a BB trip 2 years ago are heading to the Smoky Mountain trip in October, a highly recommended trip. We are also looking at the Texas safari trip. I would recommend if you have any reservations to give it a try! It may seem costly but you honestly have a premier trip from accommodations, food & excursions! I have no regrets after my 4th trip & can say I’ve made several new friends with at least 1 I can say is a bff!

Review: The majority of the restaurants we went to were excellent, but if I had to choose one activity that I loved, it would be the cooking class. I don’t even cook and it was so much fun. The chef was awesome – he had a great sense of humor while still making sure everything was completed. Great choice! Yes, I learned that the people are friendly and the food is good, not to mention it’s much healthier there than here. This was my first time traveling solo and with Beatrice Bradley, and it was an amazing experience. Beatrice Bradley takes care of everything for you and will also help with flights, if need be. I found the hotels to be top notch, and the tours were great. I will definitely be traveling with Beatrice Bradley again!

Hats off to BB for their thoughtful planning. I really felt like I got to experience Portugal. Lisbon, Porto, Douro Valley, and then the best part of all – Madeira Island. Our hosts were wonderful. At the end of the trip we were asked about our favorite activity. It was an impossible question to answer when everything was exciting and fun. It was a pleasure meeting the other ladies on the trip, and I’m looking forward to seeing them again on future trips!

The hosts are accommodating and are with you every step of the way. Where you may feel intimidated at first, the minute you have pictures of all your companions, contact numbers of everyone in the organization and on your trip, pickup from the airport from someone with a welcome sign and a smile, and the overall friendliness from everyone is truly amazing. I recommend taking that first step, IT’S WORTH IT!

They are quick to provide a plan B if plan A is disrupted by weather or any other unforeseen event. This was my 5th trip and they just get better and better. Merci and Suzanne are great hosts.

They made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. I traveled and roomed with a friend, but I now know that I could easily travel on my own with this group. The small size (10 women besides the 2 hosts) was perfect. Everyone became friends—it was such a congenial like-minded group of women. The trip was perfectly planned to include lots of activities with plenty of down time. I came home and immediately signed up for another trip.

Review: The BB experience was more than I expected. Being totally pampered, from cooked to order breakfast to fancy dinner cocktails , the food was the best available in the area. I was encouraged to try a new sport (kayaking), and surprised myself at how much fun it was. Just knowing that the entire group was like-minded, patriotic and based, made for easy connections. No need to be self-conscious or worry about making an impression. I was, however, impressed by the luxurious accommodations and over-the-top generosity of everything BB provided. It was a trip to remember, and I am looking forward to my next opportunity to join the group for another adventure.

Review: I had my first Beatrice Bradley Trip on Anna Maria Island in Feb 2024. I knew no one prior to the trip. I had an absolutely wonderful time and hope to do many more BB trips in the very near future. We were a great group of Ladies and Ellen and Karen were our hostesses. Karen and Ellen were amazing. They made me feel so welcome. They went way above and beyond the “call of duty” each day doing their very best to make all of us feel comfortable considering all of our needs. I would happily go on any trip they were hosting. Jane and Kim were assisting with the trip. They were warm, friendly and helpful. If you are hesitant to travel solo, please put all of your fears away and come enjoy a wonderful time with the Ladies of Beatrice Bradley. You will have a whole new set of friends and you will not regret it!

Conversations were always upbeat-no one was put down! This was a first BB trip for me-I would definitely consider another trip! Thank you Suzanne and Laura!

Review: Do not be afraid to travel solo with this group! This was my second trip with Beatrice Bradley and there was zero stress this time as far as the solo travel was concerned. I was confident that I would meet a number of wonderful traveling companions and that is exactly what happened. There were ladies from all over the United States, all with different experiences and backgrounds. Our hostesses, Suzanne and Laura, took care of everything and more! Thank you BB for a great trip and remember “You will never know if you don’t go!”

Review: This was a fabulous trip. We all had such a great time. The ladies were all so special and friendly. None of us knew each other when we started but became friends in no time . I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves the out doors . The highlights of my trip was going up in the helicopter in Grand Canyon. Riding horses was a blast and jeeping. Loved this trip.

Review: The Costa Rica adventure was so amazing, the wildlife, the food, the 5 star hotel, the local people and best of all the bond made by all the ladies on the trip. At the hotel, people kept asking us if we were all best friends and we were even though we had just met. We saw a mother and baby humpback whale up close, sloths, 4 kinds of monkeys, crocodiles, maccaws and toucans, and much more. The trip was well organized, and the hostesses made sure we all were comfortable with all activities. I would do it again and look forward to more trips with BB.

Review: It was my first actual trip to Nashville. I thought I knew a lot about Nashville, but I learned that there is a singer on every corner and most of them are pretty good. We listened to lots and lots of bands, and it was so much fun. Also, if you’re in Nashville, you really must try the hot chicken. It is a thing for a reason, I was so tempted to buy some pink Reinstein cowboy boots. I saw them everywhere but I don’t see them everywhere where I live so I did restrain myself. It wasn’t easy lol.
If you are considering traveling with this group, you won’t be traveling alone. It is a real girls trip. You meet your hostesses at the baggage claim and they make every effort to make you feel welcome and wanted the first dinner you made last rest of your life. if you’re thinking about it do it you won’t regret it

Review: Bags packed, and ready for my first flight, I was excited and looking forward to my trip to Iceland, with the Beatrice Bradley travel group. With only 48 hours until my first flight I began to feel ill. The next morning I felt worse and tested for Covid…..positive! No way, I tested again….positive! I called Debra immediately to break the news that I had to cancel my trip. No way I could travel. She was sad, and told me they would miss me in Iceland. Of course cancelling only hours before travel probably meant that no refund was possible for my tour. I immediately cancelled my Iceland Airline ticket, but wasn’t offered a refund, only to travel before the date my original ticket was booked (March). For the next week I felt pretty rotten from Covid and staring at my packed suitcase. Feeling better finally, I read my Allianz travel insurance policy and began to gather the information necessary to file my claim electronically….doctor’s letter, copies of credit card and checking account payments, copy of my airline ticket, the tour cancellation policy, and the airline refusal letter to refund my ticket. When Debra returned she checked on me and offered any help I needed to file my travel policy claim. She was able to secure a refund on the meals that were part of the tour, which I did appreciate! Long story short, I filed my claim and waited! Recently I received a text that my claim was being paid in full, that sure did take the sting out of missing my long awaited trip to Iceland.
Thanks Debra and Beatrice Bradley for all your support and help! Top notch company, with top notch service!

With such a small group, I felt like I really had the opportunity to talk to each one of my fellow travelers and the tour guides.

Two cooking classes and the food was wonderful. We were all solo. There is no such thing as solo on the Beatrice Bradley trips because you meet somebody right away that you click or have been on a previous trip with which was my case. Debra was a wonderful host and gave us all the opportunities to do different things if we wanted to. It was awesome.

Review: From the moment I embarked on the tour, it was evident that Beatrice Bradley had gone above and beyond to ensure a seamless and enriching experience. The attention to detail, the warmth of Ellen and Connie, and the carefully crafted itinerary all contributed to making this trip truly exceptional. I would like to commend our Cuban tour guide whose depth of knowledge, passion, and friendly demeanor added immense value to the overall experience. I knew of the economic hardships Cuba has faced for many years. I was surprised by the shortages and rationing of basic goods, including food and medicine.
I was apprehensive about traveling alone but I discovered these new friendships have become pillars of support, sources of inspiration, and wellsprings of joy. Navigating the travel journey with such kindred spirits has made every step more meaningful and every shared experience a treasured to be cherished.

Review: The Cuban people are the most loving and friendly people I’ve met from another country. Not once did I feel unsafe, the men are real gentleman like I haven’t seen in a long time. Not once did I see a homeless person or drug addict on the street. You won’t see men pretending to be women or women pretending to be something they aren’t.
They love music and seems like everyone learns to dance very young. They take care of family the way they use to. Our drivers were awesome and very handsome.
Don’t hesitate to go and be pampered by the Cuban people.

I had some trouble getting around, as I had fallen the night before I left for the trip. Jody and Sharon went beyond the call of duty to encourage me and keep me going. I can’t thank them enough.

Review: Anakeesta was a surprise! Super fun, perfect day! I expect Dollywood would be the show stopper but it kind of fell short, because of not having enough time to explore and I believe during the day would have been better to see all the artisans they were closing up shop by the time we arrived.
I think having the extra day to spread out the activities, giving more time to enjoy the lodge amenities would have been fun.
I felt welcomed and at ease the minute I was picked up at the airport as if we had been friends for ever. When we left we all had bonded, and planned to stay connected with happy hopes of meeting up again on other trips in the future!

It’s about us, all strong women who are smart, curious, and unique. Having great hosts like Jane and Linda leaves you feeling included, cared for, even pampered a bit, and who doesn’t like that? 🙂

Review: This was my 4th trip with BB & I highly recommend this way of travel as all details are arranged & and hitches are handled with no stress to the guest! The hostesses could not be nicer & will roll with any changes the group would like to do within reasonable consideration of course. Accommodations are incredible and as a single female safety is a huge concern for me!
I have made at least 1 life long friend, I’m saying we speak personally once a month & we have met up on our own & traveled again this trip & have another in the books! Plus several other ladies who I keep in touch with I would highly recommend this travel group!

Review: I recently returned home from my 1st BB experience which was amazing & I can’t say enough about how great our 2 hosts were & how perfectly planned the entire itinerary was. I traveled with BB on both the Northern Ireland trip combined with the Southern Ireland trip. I was lucky to be able to experience so much of this beautiful country in just over 2 weeks.
Our 2 hosts, Jody & Sharon, were absolutely wonderful and so attentive to all of our needs and made us feel cared about and taken care of in 1st class style. We had so many great new experiences, tried new dishes and drinks, made great new friends, shopped for beautiful gifts and we even stayed 1 night in a castle! It was a 1st class trip at an economy plus price! (I even conquered a huge fear of heights by walking over a 66’ rope bridge that’s 100 feet above the ocean. My new BB friends encouraged me and gave me the confidence to do this!) I will be talking about this trip and my many new friends I made and all the wonderful things we did for many years to come! I loved it so much I’ve already signed up for 2 more BB trips in 2024!

Review: I took this trip because Jody Halsted was one of the hostesses. I knew that traveling with someone who had visited the Emerald Isle many times over 20 years, has a podcast covering the sites, culture and foods of Ireland as well as plan trips for families would be a unique experience.
She did not disappoint – even Tom O’Toole our fabulous driver commended Jody at the end of our tour for the places, choices and knowledge she possessed concerning his homeland.
Sharon, is extremely personable and enjoys meeting people and engaging in conversation.
She is loads of fun! Sharon went out of her way to talk to each lady on the trip and make sure that things ran smoothly. I appreciate all the hard work that both did to make our trip memorable.
This was my first overseas trip with Beatrice Bradley. I was met by Sharon at the airport, taken to the hotel where I met up with several other ladies who had flown in a day early. We left the hotel to walk around the city of Dublin and so began our Ireland adventure! I miss seeing everyone at breakfast and learning about the days events!

Review: With the guidance of Jody and the coach driver, Tom O’Toole, we learned many interesting facts about the locations we visited including the history and culture of the country. One interesting fact is that the national color is blue not the green that we normally associate with St. Patricks Day. Also that corned beef isn’t a dish served in Ireland. Jody made the trips engaging and I don’t think I would have learned as much about the locations and the people. The walking tour guides were excellant also in learning about Derry and Kinsale.
Traveling with Beatrice Bradley is exactly as advertised – an experience trip. The hosts make everyone comfortable from the beginning. You may start the trip not knowing any of the other guests or the hosts, but by the end you’ve made new friends that you will stay in contact with.

Review: I learned so much about the history of the Irish people and their plights. I found that they are resilient people who love their country. The stone fences throughout the country really intrigued me and the history behind them. Nestled within those fences were sheep, cattle and horses…all having their histories, too. The people always look so healthy with their rosy cheeks and lively gates. They are extremely cordial no matter where one might be.
Life is short and so make it last forever in your mind. If you travel…you will always have memories that will keep you young!

The itinerary was well thought out, and took us off the beaten path with excursions along the coast line, tours of castles, a visit to a working sheep ranch, and a tour of the oldest distillery in Ireland. The tour bus was very comfortable and the driver was entertaining, sharing bits of history as we passed through different areas. I highly recommend this tour group, and am already looking forward to my next trip. Thank you for making the trip so memorable!

Review: It can be scary to put yourself into a situation where you feel alone, but you must remember, each of us has chosen this journey in this moment for a reason! Often that reason is enough to make an instant connection. You may have come alone, but you will certainly not be alone for long! Whether you make a friend for life or just spend time with a dozen women who you share some meals, laughs & unique experiences, you will go home with a sense of time very well spent and memories that will last a lifetime. Go with the expectation that you will have fun, you will meet lovely people and will have a great time. Fear of the unknown also leaves lasting memories, so be brave and choose the memories you want!

Review: Traveling ‘SOLO’ with Beatrice Bradley allows a woman to travel with confidence. There are many opportunities to be alone and absorb the beauty of our world, as well as be with new friends who enhance your travel experience. Being with like-minded women who share a love for America and our freedom adds a comfort and feeling of home to these trips. Sharing our experiences (and photos) when we gather back on the mini-coach or at dinner is always exciting. Many of us eat alone at home, so this also gives single women a chance to socialize over a meal. Making new friends from all over the United States is so easy with the women who choose to travel with BB. I just cannot express what a great opportunity this is for those women who love to travel!

Review: At a certain age (I’m 80) I think we begin to feel a certain vulnerability, especially traveling alone. So when I saw the article about conservative women traveling solo I thought it sounded perfect. Imagine having the hotel, meals, transportation, and activities all planned for you. I know how much effort goes into all of the above, having taken my family on several holidays. But it almost sounded to good to be true. Well, it is true!! They take care of everything, the accommodations were lovely, the restaurants were just right, and the planned events were thoughtful and educational. But, above all else, it’s the people you share the experience with, that will make the trip outstanding. And in my case, I could not have asked for a more diverse and open and caring group of women. According to the reviews I read this happens all the time. I am definitely going to plan another trip.

Review: Beatrice Bradley is the way for a solo woman to travel. When I signed up for my first adventure , Alaska. I thought it was rather pricey. I soon learned all I had to do was show up. They handled it all. I saw and did things I never dreamed of! My second trip was Iceland. It was amazing. Again, another incredible experience doing and seeing things I never dreamed of!
I mean, landing by plane on a Glacier in Alaska in June and kayaking in Glacier Lagoon with icebergs in September!!
On both adventures I met women that will be my life long travel buddies.
I’m scheduled for my 3rd and 4th adventures with my travel buddies in 2024.
Just one last thing… JUST DO IT!!

Review: The Thunderstik Lodge setting, the hospitality provided by staff and the hunt experience provided by our guide Brennan. It was everything that I thought a South Dakota pheasant hunt would be, and exceeded my expectations. In all aspects, your staff, guides, dogs and chief are top drawer and so authentic. My hunting buddy of 35 years and I had a SD pheasant hunt on our life list forever. Thunderstik staff treated the two of us like longtime family friends even though this was our first visit. We plan to return, hopefully bringing alone our other hunting friends. Every complete, with excellent communication and follow through. Well done and so grateful for all of you. Thank you.

I just came back from my 2nd trip and didn’t want to leave. If anyone is ever nervous or skeptical about this , no need to be! Everything, and I mean everything is taken care of for you. Pick up/drop off at airport and all meals and planned tours are taken care of. The best part is, you will have the opportunity to meet like minded people. You already know these people before meeting them because the hosts plan a call about 2 weeks before the trip so everyone can get a chance to know each other. I highly recommend traveling with Beatrice Bradley! You will not regret it.

Review: It was wonderful to travel with like minded women. I felt safe and included. Although it was just a long weekend, we saw all of the magnificent sights in and around Niagara Falls! It’s the perfect trip to “test the waters” for first timers like myself. I am looking forward to an trip in the future.

Review: This was my 4th Beatrice Bradley Travel Group trip and it did not disappoint! All my previous trips I chose because they were to destinations I had never been before. But I have been to Niagara Falls a few times taking day trips because I live close enough to drive (2.50 hours). So this time staying in a beautiful falls view room a few nights and seeing so many sights and doing so many fun experiences with so many new wonderful like-minded friends, well what can I say, but I loved it. I’ve seen the majesty of the thundering falls and gotten as wet as I wanted. So many shared smiles and lots of laughter! Wonderful to leave all the details to BB and be whisked away here and there enjoying every minute! Our hosts, Karen and Wynndy were great … taking care of all the details, so nice and kind to all of us and making sure we were having fun! I recommend any Beatrice Bradley trip … you will not be disappointed!

Review: Visiting Iceland was high on my list of places to go. When I saw it listed on the BB website I didn’t wait because I knew it would sell out. From the moment the plane landed I was awestruck by Iceland’s natural beauty and fascinating history. And experiencing it with a group of like-minded adventurous women was the icing on the cake. The trip was the perfect blend of activity and time just to get to know new friends. Thanks, Beatrice Bradley!

Review: Well, as a “more mature (I.e. older, but not ready to be OLD)” woman, is easy to just NOT GO. This was my 3d trip with BB. For me, I so enjoy deciding on where I would like to go/see, building up to few days prior packing (bit stressful, what to take, weight thereof?), to/from airport arrangements, time management, etc., so much to think about! You WILL get to your airport pickup location, be met by BB hostess and fellow travelers, from this point forward you just relax and enjoy the experiences to come, lovely accommodations, restaurants, sites, and getting to know the lovely, varied women from all over the USA. Now home, morning after, enjoying that cup of coffee, thinking about the unpacking/laundry/getting things back to normal that awaits, but most prominent is savoring the last few days, new friends, sites seen, experiences, fun/laughs. I’m DOING IT, you can too!

Review: This was my second trip with BB, and it did not disappoint. The itinerary was spot on with plenty of sights but not so much that you couldn’t get to know everyone in the group. We talked and laughed so much!! I have made wonderful friends that I can’t wait to see on future trips. So glad I found this group of like minded women – more adventures to come!

Review: The thought of traveling alone can be daunting, terrifying. There are so many aspects that must be dealt with to make it all come together and look smooth from having a plan A to even a Plan B & C. And even then, unexpected events occur that must be dealt with. The BB hostesses, from meeting you at the airport, to getting you back to the airport, take care of EVERYTHING! It’s like having your mom, sister, best friend, whoever you have trusted, plan and carry everything out for you and lead the way. You never feel alone or vulnerable, always cared for.

Great group of ladies on the trip. I think because we had eight days together, we got to know one another better. If anyone is worried about solo travel, this travel company is a great fit for solo travelers.

Review: I have never been to Minnesota before and I can’t for the life of me figure out why! The Northwoods is beautiful country. GrandView was wonderful. Debra‘s house was also wonderful. She is such a good cook and such a great hostess. I’ve been telling all my friends with families, but it’s the next place they should go on vacation. We had many laughs….great being in a house with all the women…so much easier to converse, laugh, get to know people. ‘House’ trips have been my favorite kind (this was my 3rd trip where I’ve stayed in a big house with the BB gals). I think you just have an easier time getting to know people when you’re living together

Review: Mount Rushmore is my second trip with Beatrice Bradley, the first being Texas Ranch. They were both so different yet both so memorable. While Texas Ranch was a unique experience that you couldn’t find elsewhere, Mt. Rushmore and all that accompanies this trip is a must see for any patriot. There is so much to learn about our history and it’s so important to keep our history alive. Our guide, Jeff, had a plethora of information to share with us. I don’t believe we stumped him with any of our questions. The Crazy Horse story and monument was truly awe-inspiring. It won’t be completed in our lifetime but what is happening at that attraction and the developing concept is a must see, as well. I highly recommend this trip.

Even though I had been to Boston before, I chose this trip because the itinerary contained some things I did not experience on my previous trip, plus traveling solo enabled me to look at things with a different eye as I could relax with only me to worry about! And Beatrice Bradley takes care of everything – thanks to our hosts, Wyndy and Karen!

Review: Oh my goodness – I don’t know WHERE to begin! I could write pages on this subject! I had been thinking for a year about jumping in and taking a trip with BB because I have a husband who is aging (four years older than I) and cannot walk very far so his energy level is quite low so traveling with him has become quite restricted (and not a lot of fun). I kept seeing Ad after Ad about the benefit of SOLO travel with Beatrice Bradley and it sounded like a lot of fun. However, I wasn’t convinced right away about all the “hype” being said by those who had gone on previous trips with the BB organization so I waited and kept reading about all the different trip options and locations and when this trip to Boston came up, I finally decided to take a giant leap of faith and decided to just “go for it”. Boy was I surprised! It was everything I imagined it would be – and MORE!!! It is absolutely TRUE that there are LOTS of like minded women like myself who love our country, are very patriotic and are very supportive of each other – AND – are sincerely desiring to make new friends as they age. Many of the women on these trips have lost their husbands or have been divorced and really need and want the companionship of other women at this time in their lives. These trips afford them a unique opportunity and a safe environment in which to continue to grow in ways that one cannot imagine. I am so grateful that I finally decided to take a chance and went on the Boston trip. It truly had a profound effect on me. I cannot wait to take another trip with this fine organization, hopefully with many of the same women friends, because they were all so delightful I cannot wait to see them again! Thank you, Beatrice Bradley, for creating this wonderful experience company for older women who wish to travel SOLO and make new friends. I can assure you that you CAN believe what you read about in the testimonials. They will give you a trip of a lifetime! Don’t wait – go now!

I now know people all over the USA who love this country and share my values. It is very encouraging. Step out of your comfort zone and give it a try – who knows it may be you that I get to meet!

If you think it will be cheaper on your own, I promise it will not be as first class as BB. Our hostesses filled each day with interesting & fun excursions. The tour guides knew everything about the places we visited. The food was exceptional and I didn’t have to take care of anything. Shayne & Christy went above & beyond to take care of us and make sure everyone had a great vacation. Going on my second trip next month!

I was nervous traveling by myself the first time as were a lot of these ladies so it helped to reassure them they would want to travel again and again. The fun was had by all. We laughed at silly stuff like teenagers again. Stayed up late getting to know each other. If you are nervous that’s ok but step out and join us on a trip you will never forget.

Zip lining, horseback riding, and swimming in the Homestead Crater geo-thermal pool! Every meal was a 5-star dining experience and we were able to taste a wide variety of Utah specialties by sharing plates with a “taste” for everyone. Since Shayne had spent many years in the Salt Lake City area, she and Christy were perfect hosts for this trip giving us Utah sightseeing tips along the way.

Review: This was my first BB trip and I will travel with this group again. It was wonderful to have everything “taken care of” and in fact, I felt “cared for” which as women and care takers ourselves, is a unique experience. It was particularly nice to be with like-minded women with whom I didn’t have to carefully choose my words – actually it was a relief! At this point in at the women’s lives, no-one was putting on a show, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there and really just wanted to have fun.
The Maine trip is “low key” which is a great way to try out a BB trip. My next chosen trip will be more adventurous! Ladies, do not hesitate, sign up for a trip and see if BB is for you!

Review: I’ve traveled alone on many occasion and made no real connection with anyone. Your just one of many on the tour, no one is interested in knowing you. They stay to themselves. You don’t know what their beliefs are so nothing to converse about, can be lonely.
I didn’t know what to expect and was delightfully surprised as how much fun this trip was and getting to know women from all over the country. I found this trip with BB to be very different and allowed for women to become friends due to the way the trip is planned and hosted. Don’t hesitate to travel solo, because you are not alone once you meet up with the group. Don’t waste your precious time on this earth limiting how much fun you can have being afraid of trying something new. Start your journey by traveling with BB, trying a new experience, meet new people, see new places and enjoy your life!

Review: I was a little reluctant to travel solo. I haven’t been single very long and miss traveling with my husband so much. This was my maiden trip to see if I would enjoy it and I really wanted it to be a good experience. It was a wonderful experience. First of all, our hosts were lovely. Once I got to the airport, they took care of everything. Ellen met me outside of baggage claim and had an Uber waiting for us. The hotel was lovely and everyone met for happy hour before our welcome dinner. All of the ladies in our group were happy and friendly. The majority of them were from Montana so I wondered how this Texas girl would fit in to the mix. It was fun at first sight. We were just a gang of girls. Ellen and Sharon took care of everything. We just showed up and enjoyed. This is a lovely way to travel. Everything is planned nicely but no one was pressured to do anything if they would rather not. We all laughed so much and enjoyed the sights and great food. I look forward to more solo travel. I already have another trip booked.

Review: Shayne and Ellen made this a most wonderful trip. The Waldorf Astoria was incredible beautiful and full of history. The activities were entertaining and educational. The food was delicious and plentiful.
The women on this trip were fantastic, they felt like sisters from the very beginning. My roommate went from stranger to one of my besties before the first evening was over.
We had so much fun, our time spend sharing in that beautiful lobby brought us together like family. I’ve never had so much fun. The pictures say it all. Thank you Shayne and Ellen
I keep saying, I’ve never eaten so such, drank so much, laughed so much – I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE”

Review: This is my second Beatrice Bradley adventure. Both trips were so much fun and offered an opportunity to bond with like minded women It was so easy to fit in and feel comfortable all while experiencing America. I loved this trip to Hawaii, we saw such beautiful landscapes and I got to challenge myself with some of our activities. Accommodations were excellent and the balance of activities and down time were perfect. Debra was a great host, she stepped up to every challenge we presented. I believe the success of these trips are not only the amazing planning that goes into them, but that we are liked minded women and the groups are small enough to be comfortable.

Review: You’ll feel comfortable immediately with the Beatrice Bradley women. There are married women, single women, and widows. Retired women, moms, grandmoms, greatgrandmas, and career women. The hosts are warm and helpful and inviting. Everyone is at a different phase of life but wants to do fun things! If you are open and give yourself a chance and talk with new people, you never know who you’ll discover! Maybe a lifelong friends. Don’t just sit there. Book a trip today!

Review: This is a great group to travel with. Our Hosts in Louisville were very accommodating and listen to the group if we had questions. They allowed changes if we wanted to do things as a group that might not have been planned. Everything is planned for you but if weather changes a plan they come together to satisfy everyone in the group. If you see something that interest you and it’s not on the agenda, you can speak with your Host and she will accommodate you for you free time.
Really great way to travel. Especially if you have the right Hosts.

Review: If you’re on the fence about taking a trip with Beatrice Bradley, hop off that fence and do it! Like-minded conversation, incredible food, cultural experiences, and the chance to broaden your life experience in a safe and fun environment is something you can’t find many places. I stepped off the plane and into a beautiful hotel, instantly welcomed by women I’d never met, who have become fast friends. Debra hugged me the second I arrived, and I instantly felt perfectly at home with the group. I was a little afraid of the unknown boarding that first flight but am so glad I took the plunge and DID IT! Debra was there every step of the way, from planning each detail of my travel, helping with flights, and even what to pack. Now I’m looking forward to my next trip with Beatrice Bradley. Plan a trip with them – you won’t regret it!

Review: The best part of this experience was the way that the group interacted with each other. There was only 1 guest that had never experienced BB travel before. I knew 2 of the guests and both of the hosts from previous trips. While the BB groups are always welcoming and quick to know and feel comfortable with, it occurred even faster on this trip. It was like we were a group of old friends from day one.
If you are interested in traveling with like women, give Beatrice Bradley a try. I’ve been on several trips and from the very first have felt comfortable in traveling Solo and joining the group adventures. The BB hosts always make everyone feel welcome and part of the group beginning at introductions. I look forward to more trips in the future.

Beatrice Bradley is the whole package. You travel solo, together. Small group of like minded women, conservative, who love America! What could be better.! Join, book a trip and enjoy. Easy as that. Take one trip and you will be forever a BB traveler.

Review: This was my first time traveling alone and thanks to Beatrice Bradley it won’t be my last. After landing I checked my text messages and found that two participants were already there. We connected and gathered to meet up. That’s how the trip began and it was really fun! Our guides, Ellen, Karen and Debra were knowledgeable and fun. Every day was new and exciting. From our first dinner YUM to the last it was a blast. Plantation Inn was fabulous, swimming in the crystal clear Crystal River was fun as was our trip and boat ride in Tarpon Springs and boat ride on the Rainbow River. Thank you!

Review: Run, don’t walk, to sign up for the Texas Ranch Experience if you are considering it in the least! I can’t say enough good things about Beatrice Bradley and the hospitality at the Ox Ranch, let alone the experience itself. You will see animals from all over the world, all in an environment much like their natural habitat. Our Beatrice Bradley hostesses were delightful and made sure everything went smoothly, and our Ox Ranch Lady Guides were superb! The ladies on the trip were all so nice. I think we all felt very comfortable with each other. And if you are a foodie, you won’t be disappointed. Ox Ranch doesn’t skimp on delicious options, whether it be wild game or something more traditional. This was my first Beatrice Bradley trip and I am already searching for my next one. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Review: This was my second trip with Beatrice Bradley. I do not have friends that can travel or who want to travel at this time. And I’m more of an introvert and on the quiet side so I did have to talk myself into it. But, I took my first trip a year ago and it was life changing. Truly. It was not only the experience, which was amazing, but the people I met. These friendships have continued on way past the experience. So, I had no reservations about going on another Beatrice Bradley trip. The second trip was so much fun! The hostesses always want you to have the best experience and do everything to make that happen. And it is special traveling with like minded women. It makes bonding so much easier because you already have something in common to build on. If you have any reservations, don’t give them a second thought. Pick the experience that suits you and go for it!

Review: Every activity was fun, well-planned and enjoyable. I loved the Rainbow River boat ride and the refreshing water of Rainbow River. In the manatee experience, a manatee came up for air right next me, I was able to just watch in awe with my snorkel and mask. The opportunity to connect with people in a relaxing environment was really the best experience of all!
The Beatrice Bradley group took care of every detail and planned for things that might come up. The hostesses are there to make sure you are taken care of, and you that you have a great experience. I will be booking with them again soon. I would say to someone else, Go! You’ll meet new friends and make connections that you will appreciate.

The hosts did a wonderful job of making everyone feel included and part of the group. Traveling solo actually makes it easier to make new friends because we are all starting fresh.

As always-first class accommodations, first class food and drink, first class expeditions and first class hostesses!
Don’t be afraid to travel ‘solo’ with BB. ‘Solo’ becomes ‘family’ within the first few hours of meeting your hostesses and other guests. You won’t regret it!
I can hardly wait until my next trip in May!

It is a wonderful way for a single woman of similar beliefs & values to travel, feel physically safe as well as safe to speak freely. These trips are a great way to experience places you may have always wanted to visit but were hesitant to travel alone but to also experience at such an extraordinary level as far as hosts who go above and beyond to ensure your best experience as well as high end everything, lodging, meals, tours etc!

Within the first few hours I knew it was worth every penny. The hostesses ensured everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed to make it a memorable experience. I encourage anyone thinking of taking a trip to do it without delay. You will have a lifetime of memories and a group of like-minded friends for life.

I knew where I wanted to go. This trip was available. I signed up, called Lindsey with questions, my roommate reached out to me to talk, and then Jane, Ellen, and Kim reached out to answer any questions we had on a group call.
All this communication really made my fears and anxiety go by the wayside. When I got to my destination and saw all these smiling ladies I was able to enjoy my trip completely.

Then a friend told me about Beatrice Bradley and we both signed up. Best decision ever. I got to go on a fascinating adventure in Cuba.

Since the team is compromised of all women in about the same stage of life you never feel like the third wheel of traveling with couples or the elderly grandma on a trip with a group of younger adults. I recommend BB tours for all women with similar interests. Wish I could afford to make a trip every month! Love Beatrice Bradley!!

The woman, new experiences and a place I had never been before and didn’t l one I want to go. The best is the life long friendships I made.
I questioned everything on my first trip last year, this was my third, I’ve already signed up for my fourth and soon to be fifth. This was so out of my comfort zone to travel alone and so glad I did. The planning and care your given is almost better than family. I was amazed that each trip was unique and well planned. I’d go anywhere with this group, the details are impeccable, as are the guides!

I do hope to stay in touch with them. We have been sharing photos from the trip on our return.

I meet new friends and had a fun adventure. On the BB Experience Travel trips, you will go on great tours, eat at wonderful restaurants, and visiting the local sites. All the while you are making new friends and experiencing new adventures.
You will find that you will be comfortable within hours once you arrive and you will cry when the adventure is over. I have been on three trips and each was filled with fun and excitement.

Review: For years I have traveled alot, and went (in the last two years) solo to Egypt and to South Korea. Not on a tour; because I did not want to deal with ‘woke-liberals’ while traveling.
This travel group was refreshing to have only conservative women participating. The hosts were extremely professional and well organized and genuinely nice women who wanted everyone to have a good experience.
Although we were each “solo’ -after the first night we were a group of nice women who all got along and wanted to enjoy the experience. There was not a pill in the group.

Yes. My first time traveling alone, and it was easy and fun and everything I hoped could be and more. I highly recommend Beatrice and Bradley travel for conservative women. It’s easy fun, and he immediately fill part of the group.. if you have not traveled alone before this is a great way to start. It is not intimidating in anyway.

I like that the restaurants are chosen and one can order anything. I feel the hostess is very generous paying for food orders, such as appetizers and entrees and includes desserts and cocktails. I never felt like I should not order something due to cost. To arrive at destination and have everything planned and prepared is wonderful!

Review: This is a fun & safe group for like-minded women who love to travel yet do not have a travel companion. My first two trips have been fabulous and I’m planning many more. I have seen new places and they were more fun because of the new friends to enjoy them with. I am very thankful for this group and highly recommend it.

Review: This was my first trip with Beatrice Bradley and for anyone who is thinking about any of the trips, just do it! From the minute we were picked up at the airport, we were totally immersed in the adventure of meeting new people and seeing new sights. Shayne & Christy were supportive, entertaining and totally considerate of each of us. The accommodations, food and itinerary were top notch. I’m already planning my next trip and really looking forward to it.

Review: The scenery, the touring, the camaraderie, the beautiful hotel, the fact that all I had to do was show up, and how kind and sweet Ellen and Shayne were.
After retiring my husband decided he no longer cared to travel and I decided there’s no way I’m staying home, so I took the plunge and went on my first outing. I met some amazing women, saw some beautiful sights and definitely see many more trips in my future!

Review: Shane and Christy did a great job maneuvering us thru the hairpin turns thru the mountains. They were always around making sure we were all doing OK.
The other people I want to mention that I think went above and beyond were Sarah and Jordon. They are the nicest couple! They made sure everything was just perfect at the house, the dinner decor for our chef prepared meal was beautiful. And they made sure we saw the bear family. Outside their condo?. They are both wonderful assets to the company.
All of the women in the house were fun, and we all had our own stories (and experiences) to share. This was my second trip and it was better than the first..from a ‘new friends’ perspective. I think the fact that we were all living in the same house and not a hotel was a bonus. There was always someone around to talk to or sit with (or drink with ?. When your in a hotel your sort of isolated. This was like a big happy family situation.

Review: Trips with Beatrice Bradley make it feel as though you’re not traveling solo. The hosts make it so comfortable getting to know each other. All of the guests are open to making friends and the small groups enhance this opportunity. On my first trip I didn’t know anyone before arriving. On my second trip I knew one of the hosts, Shayne. I never felt alone.

Review: I highly recommend Beatrice Bradley Adventure Travel and have encouraged many of my friends to join the group and several have traveled with the group. It is a”safe zone” tour of travel with like minded women with no hidden agendas. Just women loving each other and our country as well as visiting other countries that also believe in freedom. Lively conversation, good food and drink, and exciting venues. I have been on three trips so far and see many more in my future.

Review: This was my first BB trip, as well as my first international trip. From the moment I expressed interest in the trip, Debra reached out to me and answered all of my questions and concerns. She was so reassuring and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. I cannot express in words what a wonderful, life-changing experience it was for me. I met so many new friends and have the self-confidence needed to travel again …. and I can’t wait. If you are on the fence about traveling, make the decision to GO. You will not regret it!

Review: Each area we visited, got to taste the food, culture and learn so much about Ireland and how it came to be the place it is today.
This was my first experience traveling alone. I just lost my husband in January and needed to get away. I was researching trips and came across Beatrice Bradley. After lots of Emailing and personal conversations with Debra Shutt, I felt comfortable enough to book my vacation to Northern Ireland and so glad that I did. What an amazing experience with a wonderful group of women. Debra was an amazing hostess with so much experience and compassion. I walked away from this trip with lifelong friends and I will be traveling with this group again. I have a trip to Cuba in March.

Review: Never realized that Dublin was such a large and vibrant town ; never knew they had so many roundabouts; never knew they had the largest national park. Always knew they’d have the best fish and chips! Do not have any hesitation as to whether to travel solo. You may come alone but you won’t ever be alone unless you choose to!! Beatrice Bradley caters to women . The adventures, food, etc.is top notch. The hostesses are with you 24/7 to make your trip a fun and exciting one. I’ve been on five trips with them and have already booked another tour for next spring. Come join us!!!

Review: Both morning and evening Balloon Fiesta shows were fabulous! We were lucky with the weather! Bucket list. The trip made me feel not so alone in my conservation beliefs and values. So nice to talk and share without a liberal in my face (though one liberal was there – she stayed away from me because I would start talking about guns). I met several ladies I want to keep in touch with.

Review: The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta trip was a bucket list item & we were able to see and enjoy the opening morning festivities as well as the evening light show & fireworks. The evening balloon glow was cancelled due to weather. Our VIP tickets were wonderful & provided very delicious and plentiful meals, drinks, and beverages of all kinds!
The walking tours of both Albuquerque and Santa Fe were very informative and we then had some shopping time! The Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa was a beautiful place to stay & offered fun extras in their lobby most days…homemade buns & jewelry displays, and the gift shop was so fun to shop!!! This was my second Beatrice Bradley tour and I have loved both of them!

Review: Amazing!!! Shayne and Chrissy made a great team. Shayne is definately in the right business. Her professional, thoughtfulness and personal attention to detail was the best I seen from a hostess a while. Chrissy was great and her story uplifted me. Both were unassuming, compassionate, fun, humble and great leaders. I will definitely go on a trip when Shayne and Chrissy are the hosts!TRap.
Great food at the Hot Air Balloon festival and Los Poblanos (the best). The Mexican food places were redundant. Breakfast buffet at the fiesta and hotel were great.
To be with other conservative women took the stress out of my trip. To be with like minded women uplifted my heart and my spirit and made me feel part of a team. I made new friends and didn’t feel lonely for one minute. I have been on other trips and was bullied once they heard I was a conservative. I felt I could be myself and felt that most women were very approachable, supportive of one another and gave it their all.
Being with like-minded conservative women that love this country, value and respect each other was a heartfelt joy! I walked away with new friends and felt uplifted that other women care about our country as much as I do. This is not only a vacation trip for the eyes but also for the soul. I am now reviewing places for my next trip!!

This was my first trip with Beatrice Bradley. From the moment Shayne and Christy picked me up at the airport I felt both host worked hard to make my time enjoyable. Their sense of humor and flexibility make my stay fun. Sharing the Ballon Festival with like minded woman from all over the US was special. I made newfriends and have great memories!

I was even more excited when I learned I would be traveling with like-minded conservative women! If you’re looking for a personalized, one of a kind adventure, you can’t go wrong with this company. They made it possible for me to go on a bucket list vacation to attend the 50th Anniversary Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Our hosts took care of everything and made sure we had a fabulous time. I can’t say enough good things about this trip. Thank you for a great trip and the opportunity to check one off my bucket list!!! Book one today. You won’t be sorry!!!

I thank Jane and Ellen did a great job of providing a nice mix to accommodate 12 different people and so much time to form new friendships! My assigned roommate could not have been a more perfect match!
I enjoyed the trip , the outerbanks, and all the like minded ladies!! We all had some great discussions and many laughs!!!
It is empowering to have this group as an option for travel for a single person! And also eliminates a lot of the planning which can be time consuming!!!

Fantastic organization. They know how to host events. They make you feel together as a group should. You will make lasting friends. The groups are small enough that everyone can enjoy the events.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The farewell dinner was fantastic! There was plenty to do, there was a good balance and lots of activities. I loved my first trip with Beatrice Bradley. I have traveled with groups several times and usually I was the only person who was traveling solo among couples and others who were with people they already knew. It was a pleasure to travel with other women who were also solo and interested in making friends. The “politically like-minded” aspect was also a plus for me. I am looking forward to going on more trips with BB and have already signed up for two.

The rooms were very nice. The food was very good, and there was a lot of it. It would be nice though if there was a choice between 2 dinners though. This trip made me feel great! I met wonderful women, and I even met someone that lives 25 minutes from me. It was so nice to talk to like minded people without the fear of possibly offending someone. We all shared the same values. I already recommended this group. Going on a trip by yourself can be intimidating, but just after a few minutes, it’s like everyone has known each other and have been friends for years. It was instant bonding.

Review: BB makes vacationing as a single, mature women as easy as it gets. Being unskilled at planning, myself – the women at BB have considered every detail and make each and every day simple and worry-free.
Whether married, widowed, divorced, or decidedly single, beginning a vacation with strangers can generate a bit of worry. But I think I can confidently say that by the end our journey there was an undeniable sisterhood of love and respect, no matter where we fell on the ‘conservative spectrum ~ or maybe even outside it. 🙂
Be reassured that these new acquaintances dotted across our great country have the potential to become joyful, life-long friends. If not a friend, at the very least a place to hang your hat for a visit when your feet happen to land on their little bit of soil. Looking forward to my next trip with BB!

Now, I can’t wait for my next trip in September when I will be going to the Outer Banks with some new strangers that I’m sure will be another group just as wonderful as this one and I’ll be making more friends. Excited for new experiences with new friends! I love that we are of similar ages and all like-minded conservative women!

Review: Not sure I have enough words to express my feelings. I’ve NEVER been with a group that bonded as quickly as this amazing group of women. The shared love of our country was evident and I came away with a lightened heart knowing there are others…from all over this great land…that feel the same way I do? I’ve already got two friends to join the group..and that was BEFORE my Badlands trip. One will be my roommate for Yellowstone and the other has already booked two other trips! I have made wonderful friends for life that I will stay in touch with and can’t wait for the next adventure. Beatrice Bradley ROCKS!!

Review: Charleston/Savannah has always been on my bucket list as places to visit. The trip was so well planned as to give us all the opportunity to take in the history of these two cities. The company I had on the trip was just wonderful. Women from all over our country. So many laughs and friendships made. I’m looking forward to many more.

Review: I liked eating at places unique to the region. Blackboard barbecue great food and fun experience. I would recommend both again. Food food and restaurants are important. A treat, not something I do at home very often so the eating out was special. With the costs of trip, the eating experiences contribute to the satisfaction of money well spent

Review: Traveling with a group of women from all over the country who were total strangers? Concerning? No. Absolutely 100% an experience to never forget. Being on a tour with like minded wonderful ladies who became instant friends sharing adventures that would be difficult to do as a solo traveler. Beatrice Bradley tours made everything easy. I plan to go on additional adventures and see more of our beautiful country.

Review: The crystal clear water and peaceful manatees (sea cows) were checked off my Bucket List on this trip. With perfect weather, this group of gals enjoyed sharing time together and getting to know each other. Our host went above and beyond to see we were all having a great time.

Review: This turned out to be one of the most memorable and enjoyable trips I have taken and look forward to my next trip with them in April. Fortunately, I am retired as I can see I will be booking many more trips with Beatrice Bradley. They left no stone unturned and had researched and selected the greatest excursions, beautiful properties to stay and had everything so well coordinated. We did so much in such a short time yet had time to relax and enjoy each other. I still cannot believe I just met everyone a week ago as we had so many laughs and funny stories, you would have thought we were college friends getting together for a reunion. Debra and Shayne were amazing and to top off the trip, Debra had gifts for us upon arrival and Shayne had a lovely, thoughtful bracelet she had made for us as a memory of our trip. Really great company and so lucky I was introduced to it.

Review: Traveling with Beatrice Bradley was great for my first ‘group’ tour. I left home to meet 11 strangers, and even room with one of them. In the end, I met 11 of the most amazing warm hearted women; we left Annapolis, not as strangers, but as new friends. The amazing threads of life that have touched each of us caused some to open up and share experiences, which will encourage me in the future to reach out and try new things and not be fearful of “solo” travel… just plan it and do it. Thank you Beatrice Bradley for helping me find the strength I had forgotten I had. Thanks for shedding the fear to go “solo” and explore new places, meet the locals and learn the history of Annapolis. #TheBestIsYetToCome

Review: I am at a transitional time in my life. It was my first foray out being single. I felt safe, cared for, and welcomed by the other girls. It was really good for me to take this trip and I feel like I’ve grown. It doesn’t hurt that I also love history! Great trip, great group of girls. Very welcoming. Very well thought out, from the meals to the hotels, to the transportation. Would definitely recommend!

Review: I enjoyed the architecture and history of Annapolis! The Christmas decorations were also fun! It was good for me to get out of my CO comfort zone and back to discovering and learning! I love to travel & learn about other places! I also enjoyed the ladies in the group and hope to see them again on another trip!
