This is not your typical tourist tour…NOTHING like it, really! These tours are personally curated by us, and we’ll be by your side. We never use travel agents, instead making all the arrangements ourselves. That way we can ensure authentic, eco-friendly, whimsical travel with local experts who take us off the beaten track. Time to soak up a place and to connect with real people is paramount!
Katie’s husband Marc has been dubbed our Smoothness Operator (aka: logistics man). (Katie and Marc designed and taught Study Abroad university courses for over a decade.) He takes care of all the logistical headaches, bills and ticketing so we can all glide on without a care. Got history questions? Katie’s on hand with a thousand stories. Want to spend dinner talking feminist theory with someone who’s (finally!) as gung-ho about it as you are? Olivia’s your woman!
What’sHerName Tours build welcoming tribes where you are free to be yourself! We all abide by Rule #1: Do What You Want. That means you can always opt out of anything without judgement. You can expect to do a lot of laughing, standing in awe, happy-crying, and tasting wonderful things.
Most folks come solo, so don’t sweat it! This is the happy tribe you’ve been looking for. After all, they’re all Nameiacs too!
FAQs
I’m searching flights. What info do I need to know?
You’ll want to arrive at Savannah airport well before 5pm on Sep 19 (our first gathering), so you have enough time to get out of the airport, and to the hotel. Depart anytime on Sep 22. We often are able to coordinate departures/share airport taxis at the end of the trip.
Tell me more about the roomie situation.
Most folks come solo, so go for it! We’ll match you with another Nameiac. When you fill out the registration form ,you can list your roomie preferences (gender etc) which we always do our best to meet. You’ll have separate beds, just share the same room and bathroom. Many a strong friendship has been forged this way! If you’d prefer your own room, just select that option and pay the additional $380.
How much should I budget for spending money and meals?
It’s so hard to say. The range of options for meals can suit all budgets and tastes – from grocery store PB&J to fine dining. Same goes for shopping. You know you best! A typical business travel per diem is around $45/day, if that helps.
What if the trip gets canceled?
If we canceled the trip, you’d get a full refund. If you have to cancel, you’d forfeit your $300 deposit, to help cover the expenses we’ve already paid in your name. If you’re worried about having to cancel, you could always get travel insurance after you pay for the tour.
How does payment work?
After you register, you’ll receive an invoice via email to pay your deposit with a card. It’s actually our sister, Meredith, who takes care of all registrations and does the invoicing! You’ll pay the remainder in two more payments, evenly spaced out between your time of registration and September. You could also choose to pay in full anytime you want. The full amount must be paid before departure, of course.
I want to go for it – but I’m a little nervous. Is this a crazy thing to do?
If it is, it’s GOOD crazy! Take the leap, you’ll have a magnificent time. These are your people!
