Cherish also partners with local women tour guides who are experts in their respective destination. They share insights from a local perspective and support our groups with excursions and tours.
Each trip has a maximum capacity to keep travel personal, to make interactions with locals more intimate, and to allow the women on the trips to get to know each on a deeper level. For those reasons, trips will not exceed 15 people. We aim to be able to sit around the same breakfast table together, to avoid what we have coined as “fish bowl tourism,” and spend time in connection with our fellow travelers and locals.
Our groups typically have no less than 6 travelers in order to ensure a fun and dynamic group atmosphere for your travel experience.
Cherish welcomes women of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Our trips typically range in age from 28-55 and we have hosted women from all over the United States and Europe on each of our trips. The age of our youngest hosted traveler was 21 and the age of our oldest hosted traveler was 74.
Cherish's small group tours are planned with the benefit of the group in mind while also curating the experiences with personal options built in. A small group tour is a good fit for any woman who is lightly active, seeking an adventure, is open minded, and is willing to explore with an open heart and laid back attitude.

Cherish's mission is to support local women in business through our curated tours. With this in mind, we seek out beautiful boutique style hotels that are typically locally owned by families, spouses, or by women.
Each of the hotels we stay at are hand-picked with our guests comfort and travel experience in mind. The hotels for our small group tours typically are 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star boutique accommodations with 50 or less guest rooms on property.
As we aim to support women in business and put tourism dollars into the local economy, we do not stay at internationally owned chain properties or resorts.
All trips require non-refundable deposit in the amount of 20% with a minimum of $500 to reserve the trip. You have the option to make 5 additional payments through a payment plan for the remaining trip balance or simply pay in full.

Cherish prides ourselves on being a fully curated experience. We arrange a day by day itinerary that we believe will give you the best experience in each of our destinations. Our methodology is that we curate trips with a balance of full group activities, small group activities, personal choice, and down time.
Almost all of the full group and small group activities are optional for our travelers but we highly encourage you to participate in the curated experiences to get the most out of your trip.
There is scheduled downtime within each itinerary to give you as the traveler the opportunity to have free time. As well as we create options within each trip so you as the traveler can choose what you'd like to participate in during your vacation.
Cherish prepares and plans all itineraries for an experience ahead of time. However, all of our trips are curated to the individual guest's experience. In order to personalize your experience while supporting the group as a whole, there may be shifts to the published itinerary.
In the event of a change to the itinerary, Cherish aims to inform you prior to the change being confirmed. We promise that any changes made will be of the same impeccable standard expected when traveling with us.
