Gutsy Women Travel
Gutsy Women Travel caters to women travelers almost exclusively, typically ages 30 to 80. Trips are specially designed for groups of up to 15 women with visits to markets and bazaars, tours of historic homes, and even cooking classes (pizza making in Italy, for example). In addition to the planned itinerary packages offered, the agency also can customize trips based on clients' requests. Packages offered include a variety of US and international destinations. President April Merenda was one of the founders of Gutsy Women, which opened in 2002. The agency is a division of Gate 1 Travel, an international tour operator.
