The WOW Club - Women on Wanderlust

Dear Aliya, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible Vietnam tour experience. The vibrant markets, cultural gems, and breathtaking landscapes made the journey unforgettable. Your unwavering support added an extra layer of joy to the trip. From navigating bustling markets to exploring hidden gems, your positive spirit and enthusiasm created a fantastic atmosphere within the group. Thank you for being an exceptional travel buddy and turning this adventure into a cherished memory. I’m truly grateful for WOW for such wonderful trip and the camaraderie we shared throughout the journey.

I travelled to Sri Lanka with wow and it was an exhilarating experience. Our wow buddy Kirti is an amazing person who was knowledgeable about all the places and made it a very smooth trip. She kept us all updated with the itinerary (even the smallest change) and was a fun person to travel with. The hotels booked for the trip were great, starting from their cleanliness to food choices to the rooms and services. Every check in and check out was handled by Kirti and was super smooth. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country to visit and Wow made the trip even better. Meeting different women and making new friends was another aspect of the trip that I enjoyed. I’m definitely looking forward to traveling with wow again.

Hampi had been on my wishlist for a long time. WOW came well recommended by a couple of friends who have travelled with them. It was my first solo trip as well as first trip with WOW. Have come back totally satisfied with the entire experience. The trip was an active one, but not so much also that we were running from one site to another. We got time to pause and enjoy the sites and sights, and at the end of the day still had energy to gather for a chatty dinner with co- travellers. Our WOW buddy Aliya was the one responsible for making our trip smooth and enjoyable. While she actively participated in all our silly antics also, she kept an eagle eye out to ensure the tour progressed as planned. Will be a pleasure to travel with her again.

Had a wonderful Srilanka trip with Wow Tours. Looking forward to more travel and fun with Wow. Special thanks to Kirti (wow buddy) for looking after us so well, she was catering to each and every person in the tour with lot of concern, love and care. Very good choice of resorts and locations. Thank you Wow for the unique experience.

I started my first solo trip with a lot of apprehension but this soon changed to a very positive and memorable experience. This shift in my preconceived perception of solo trip was down to Tanya and other solo travelers on this adventure to Ladakh, Tanya as travel buddy was very approachable, friendly and her calm approach in dealing with a group of independent, strong women was commendable. She had personality and skills to bring the group together so that everyone got something out of it. The other solo travelers were absolutely amazing too. They were friendly, supportive and very inclusive too. Both Tanya and the solo travelers in the group made it possible for me to have a wonderful and a very memorable holiday. It was a great way to make new friends. Thank you. Apart from that I now hooked to solo travelling and hopefully very soon I will be off on my next adventure. Ladakh was an amazing place and the mountain ranges were intimidating but magnificent. As the travel guide said to me “if you treat the mountains well, they in turn will treat you well”. This is so true and it felt that the mountains were alive talking to you every day.

I had an incredible experience during my first international solo trip to Sri Lanka with an all-women adventure group. As a first-time solo traveler, this journey was not only adventurous but also empowering. It gave me the confidence to explore the world independently. The trip introduced me to women of various age groups and diverse backgrounds. We formed a strong bond, celebrating the strength and beauty of womanhood together. Our "Wow Buddy" Ms. Heba played a crucial role in ensuring our needs were met throughout the trip. Her experience, friendly demeanor and effective coordination between the guide and other aspects of the journey made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. The travel partner, Ceylon Tours, led by Mr. Marvin and his team, meticulously planned our itinerary. We visited major tourist spots in Sri Lanka, including Colombo, Anuradhapura, Trincomalee, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, and Galle. The accommodations, particularly at Cinnamon Hotels and the Heritance Tea Factory in Nuwara Eliya, were exceptional. Highlights like high tea at the Galle Face Hotel, the Pink night, the Elephant Safari, the dolphin watching, Seetha Eliya, the Tooth Relic Temple, the oldest post office at Nuwara Eliya, and Lake Gregory made the trip unforgettable. Exploring the Buddhist monasteries and stupas added a meaningful cultural touch to the journey. Overall, this adventure was a fantastic blend of exploration, connection, and cultural immersion. I'm grateful for this experience and the wonderful people I met along the way. I appreciate the opportunity to provide constructive feedback on the trip: 1) One aspect that didn't meet our expectations was the whale watching excursion. We were initially promised a cruise experience but ended up on small boats. Unfortunately, we couldn't spot any whales due to it not being the right season for whale watching. 2) While the journey covered many remarkable places in Sri Lanka, the extensive travel led to limited time for exploring cities, streets, and immersing in the local culture. It might be beneficial to plan the itinerary more thoughtfully, allowing us to have a deeper connection with the destinations. 3) Regrettably, the Kandyan cultural show in Kandy left me disappointed. The performances appeared unprofessional, and safety concerns during the fire show. Improving the quality and safety of such cultural experiences would greatly enhance the trip. 4) Although the Ceylon Tour staff was accommodating and supportive, I found the local hospitality in some hotels lacking. Staff at certain accommodations came across as rude, which contrasted with the overall positive experience provided by the tour company. These observations are intended to help improve future trips and ensure that travelers have the best possible experience in Sri Lanka.

This was my first solo trip in India to Meghalaya and Kaziranga and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The group comprised of such lovely people. The trip was very well planned. The view of the Dawki lake, the exhilarating climb to the Double Dekker Root Bridge and the wildlife safari to Kaziranga was amazing. Last but not the least, kudos to our WOW buddy Upasana, she was very patient, kind, patiently dealing with all our rants and grumbles❤️❤️ Wishing you all the best for your future.Hoping to meet all of you in the subsequent WOW trips.

Visited Vietnam and Cambodia with Aliya as our WOW buddy. Trip was amazing in terms of itinerary, comfortable local transportation and hotels/resorts. We had sufficient time to explore local food, local markets for shopping. I have met few inspiring women travelers from all walks of lives who are now friends for lifetime. Aliya is super entertaining and did a great job managing a big group. Usually tours feel rushed but WOW trips are well planned and luxurious :)
