"We had a great time. Wonderful people and comfortable accommodations. Nico was our guide, and was constantly watching out for us, making sure our water bottles were filled and we had a cappuccino in hand! He was very engaged and provided cultural information along the way."

The YHA and campsite were just great and even warm showers at the campsite which I wasn't expecting! My fellow sisters were all so nice and supportive. Thanks so much for the experience.

Kyrgyzstan WILDER Bikepacking

"Cycling through Kyrgyzstan with Sisters in the Wild was an adventure I'll never forget. It showed me that the best parts of a journey aren't just about reaching the top of a mountain or counting the kilometres, but about the people you ride with and the memories you make together. Riding with such an amazing group of women brought so much energy, laughter, and fun to every day. Shout out to Rachel and Karen---our wonderful guides who filled every day with encouragement, warmth, and plenty of laughter."

Kyrgyzstan WILDER Bikepacking

"Kyrgyzstan was incredible! The riding, terrain and landscapes were other-worldly. The wild camping spots and yurts were beautiful. Everything was super well organised. Food was delicious. It's obvious the SITW crew put a heap of thought and effort into developing the route, accommodation and logistics. Best part though? The awesome and inspiring lady gang - what a bunch. Sore cheeks from laughing. Rach and Karen were brilliant. Could not have wished for a better trip. 10/10 would do it again."

— Sophie G. ★★★★★ via WeTravel

Wales Gravel Camp

"Such a fab weekend with a wonderful bunch of like-minded women. The routes were curated to perfection - long and technical enough to push boundaries, but not so much as to exclude anyone. Charlotte and the SITW crew were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. It felt like we left with some new friends and riding buddies for future adventures. I loved it, and will definitely be booking on another SITW trip soon."

"Just amazing! Charlotte has collated a wonderful adventure in a stunning part of the world. Surrounded by mountains at altitude, the logistics & dynamics of the trip ran beautifully with a well-balanced range of accommodation throughout. Weather was extreme & changeable but this was dealt with thoughtfully & with rider safety always a consideration. Food was plentiful as was the laughter & fun throughout.

"This was an amazing trip - the ideal introduction to multi day bikepacking. The route was brilliantly planned - exactly the right level of challenge and a great combination of camping and hostel stays. The guides Annie and Rhona were both amazing - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, supportive but never patronising. They were very much part of the group and were a real pleasure to spend time with. I would absolutely recommend SITW and this trip 😊"

"What a fantastic trip and so well organised. Huge thanks to Charlotte, Rachael, Alice and Lily for setting up the routes, guiding us, looking after any mechanicals, sorting restaurants and self catering meals, finding the best swim spots and generally all being superstars. Always felt safe in their hands, especially when it got super hot. Loved Slovenia - so beautiful - and loved the company of all the riders."

"The bikepacking trip was excellent - the route was really well designed, and having the hostel night in the middle was such a treat. The group was excellent, and the guides were outstanding. I loved learning more about the Highlands and Bikepacking from such a competent group of women. 10/10 I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to increase their confidence with bikepacking, or just to take the opportunity to spend time in amazing scenery with a great group of people."

Slovenia Bikepacking

"Fantastic trip! Loved it! A relaxed holiday vibe mixed with lots of opportunities to challenge yourself and feelings of achievement when you get up the hills on the bike or riding the rapids in white water rafting. There was never any feeling of being rushed which added to the relaxed chilled vibe. The organisation was superb. I really enjoyed the opportunity to ride on my own or as a group depending on how I felt day to day. Beautiful country, fun gravel riding with challenging hills and very well organised."

Albania Bikepacking

"This was my first trip with Sisters in the Wild, and it exceeded all expectations in the best ways possible. Firstly by giving me confidence that I was stronger than I thought, and secondly by meeting such an amazing group of women. I've been on a few organised group holidays but this one has certainly been the best one I've done. I loved this way of seeing Albania and I will be doing more SitW trips in the future."

— Adriana Patricia K. ★★★★★ via WeTravel

Albania Bikepacking

"In a word Wow! Stunning jaw dropping scenery, almost no cars up in the mountains gave a great sense of isolation besides the wildlife that seemed to follow us throughout. Incredible riding so well organised in such a thoughtful supportive way - with wonderful company to boot. I never knew roads could be this much fun! Ps Albanian coffee is 👌!"

— Jill G. ★★★★★ via WeTravel

"Such a beautiful trip, I would 100% recommend to anyone and everyone. A great trip to ignite that sense of adventure; good for beginner bikepackers, but also wonderful for those more experienced riders. A nice mix of mind blowing scenery and culture. The guides were fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable, they made you feel comfortable to just be yourself whatever your ability and to enjoy the trip in your own way."

— Rachael P. ★★★★★ via WeTravel

Lanzarote Gravel Camp

"Fantastic first trip abroad with Sisters in the Wild. Wasn't sure how if I would keep up/manage the heat though knew I could cycle 30 miles, even if I was slow! No matter though, inclusive pace on the shorter ride and such a small bike-friendly island I would encourage anyone thinking about it to take the plunge. The guides were encouraging and supportive, and my fellow cyclists were lovely. All ages, all abilities. Can recommend winter sun cycling with SITW."

— Joanna S. ★★★★★ via WeTravel

Lanzarote Gravel Camp

"It was such an incredible experience! The trails, the vibes, and the whole crew -- just amazing. Every ride was a highlight, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. The finca was the perfect place to relax after a day on the bike, and the food was just amazing -- I looked forward to every meal! What made it even more special was being part of a women's-only camp. Everyone was so supportive and kind, and it felt great to ride in such an encouraging and empowering environment."

Lanzarote Gravel Camp

"This was truly a great example of why a women's only gravel camp is much needed and treasured. From the shared communal meals over breakfast and dinner to the ride leaders being proactive to engage with all of the riders on a daily basis, I always felt welcomed and encouraged to bike within my abilities and never felt like I was holding others back if I was lagging or wanted to do a longer or shorter ride. We were always given thorough briefings about what to expect for each day's rides."
