Small group trips for women inspired by women's

history and literature

See Where We’ve Been

Let's see the world together

We create small-group travel for women inspired by the women who came before us.



Walk the streets where queens once reigned, sit in the rooms where classic literature was born, dine with well-known authors, and hear from the women still shaping their communities today.

We specialize in exclusive experiences that you can't find online.



We aren't just a travel company that creates a list of destinations to check off. We create experiences that deepen your connection to the world, your communities and yourself.

Solo Travelers

100%! In fact, that is how we got started hosting trips. So many women want to travel, but don't have anyone to go with them. We include space within the trip to wander on your own. 

What if I don't know anyone?

Most of our travelers don't know anyone when they join our trips. But, one thing is for sure, you'll go home with a bunch of new friends and travel partners! 

What to Expect
What happens when I arrive in destination?

Before we even depart, you will have had a couple of calls with the group and me to prepare. All of our trips include transportation from the airport to our first hotel and back to the airport at the end of the trip. 

Who leads the trips?

There will always be a representative from Cobblestones and Castles on your trip. Whether it's Sarah or Renee or someone else, there will always be a host that joins you and provides support during the trip.
