I can”t say enough how wonderful this trip was - from great communication to impeccable execution of the amazing itinerary- thank you, thank you!!

Loved this tour!!! Our guide Komal was AMAZING. It would not have been as fantastic without her. Every spot we went to was wonderful and I appreciated all the smaller stops that coincided with the main attractions (eg marble shop before the Taj Mahal). I'm speechless as to what a unique and beautiful experience it was. Komal was one of the best guides. Extremely patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back!!

Life changing experience! Their attention to every moment and detail was phenomenal and everything felt super smooth. "Money can't buy happiness" but this was pretty dang close and I'll cherish the memories and new friendships for life!

We had a great time. Wonderful guide and driver. Terrific travel mates, lodgings, and itinerary. My complaint is the packing list should have been customized for winter travel, and having warmer clothes would have made it more comfortable. We needed coats, hats, and scarves not bathing suits!

The most amazing way to "travel solo" while making friends along the way. Our dedicated tour guide and driver made sure we were well-informed about the areas, the people, the food and the culture we visited. I loved that we saw some of the main tourist places, but also ventured off the beaten track to get closer to the communities where people live and spend money with small businesses.

Can’t say enough good things about the two tours I’ve taken with SoFe. I went to Egypt and Japan and still rave about my experiences. The Guides were incredible, I don’t know how they accommodated everyone but we all felt like the VIP traveler. I was really nervous that the group may not be nice or I wouldn’t make friends but both times that was so far from the truth. You don’t always like everyone, but the feeling of community was so strong that everyone just belonged. And I did make some friends who I still talk to and have even traveled in the USA with. Our groups were pretty diverse with mostly Americans but also someone from Malaysia, a couple women from the UK and one from Kenya when went to Egypt. And a couple Australians, someone from Paraguay, and one person from the UK. I’m signed up for Morocco next year and I can’t wait!!

The Golden Eagle festival itself was unbelievably cool. Mongolia isn’t an easy place to travel in. It wasn’t just sightseeing, it was about real interactions and learning from people living their day-to-day lives. But like any trip, your experience depends on your attitude. SoFe is perfect for travelers who like to be off the beaten path, want an adventure, and are open to an immersive cultural experience. But being in such a remote place, they really make sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. They go out of their way to make sure they accommodate for everyone. There is a lot of value in traveling with a group of like-minded women that you just can’t get in a mixed-gender group. The camaraderie and connection you feel is unique and something I didn’t expect going into it. Go try it for yourself!

The whole experience in Turkey was amazing. Especially the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, the cruise along the Mediterranean, and the cave hotel we stayed at. I also really enjoyed our guide, driver, and the other ladies on this trip. They all made Turkey extra special. I went on this trip totally solo, but left with friends for life! This was my second trip with Sofe, and I think it’s just easy to make friends on their trips because of the company values of community and empowerment. I loved that we all have similar mindsets and can relate on so many things even though we all come from different cultures and ages. My roommate was from Vietnam and we’re already planning a trip together for when I go to SouthEast Asia!
