Adults over the age of 21 are welcome on Meridien Boutique Travel Company’s trips. We invite all conscious travelers to join us. We center women solo travelers, and do our best to seek out women artisans, guides and history. We also provide physically active experiences, but we don’t do “adventure travel.” You’ll walk several miles through cities, and hike on uneven terrain in various weather conditions. If you’re ready to take on the challenge with our support (and snacks!) you’re ready to join us. By signing up, travelers are consenting to, and assuming their own risk to navigate these experiences.

All travelers are responsible for their own documentation, and entry requirements for each destination. COVID-19 and destination-mandated vaccinations are required for every traveler.

All travelers must also purchase and provide proof of comprehensive travel insurance.

Finally, you can expect a trip packet approximately 30 days prior to the trip. Please read through thoroughly for important information, what to pack, and customary cultural information.

We aim to build connections on our group trips with travelers of shared values. That’s why we screen for conscious travelers, those who want to explore with empathy and openness. That means:

You are a responsible visitor. You respect the history, the locals and the experience of our fellow travelers. You accept cultural differences with grace and gratitude.

You embrace new experiences. You show up ready to explore, try new food, and attempt a phrase or two in a new language. You are ready for the unexpected.

You’re a conscious traveler if you want to learn about the political scene from the locals while you taste a foreign flavor.

You’re a conscious traveler if you want to reduce your single use plastics while you push yourself to make it to the summit.

MBT is committed to:

Working with local businesses, from our tour guides to accommodations and activities.

We challenge our travelers to create less waste, and conserve resources in hotels, and through responsible souvenirs.

We educate our travelers about nature and local ecosystems, and inspire them to respect and protect the world’s natural beauties.

We utilize public transportation or walking when possible to lower our group transportation emissions.

For group trips, a cancellation occurring any time up to 30 days before the trip start date is partially refundable. The $1000 booking deposit is non-refundable. If a cancellation occurs within 30 days of the trip start date, we will do what we can to accommodate your cancellation, but cannot guarantee a refund. See our terms for more details.

Our trips inspire women to connect with themselves, each other and the world around us. We bring together a keen attention to the practical details with special moments for indulgence, so you can enjoy the present. We create connections to people and places you’d otherwise never meet. And most of all, we’re here so you can embrace each new experience and live more boldly.

Travelers flying solo will be matched up with another traveler as their roommate for the trip. Each country’s customs vary, but we generally plan for 2 to a room, with minor exceptions. We work to put like-minded folks together, and will be there for you every step of the way if something comes up.

For those who want a single supplement, please reach out for pricing and availability.
