We take the worry out of travel, while still allowing you to have your own adventure. We organize all transportation and lodging, as well as many meals and tours, but allow you downtime so that you can explore on your own or with your friends with as much of our guidance as you desire.
Whether you come by yourself or you come with friends, we are for women looking to build a community of travelers who want to do more than go on tours. We believe that these types of adventures should be available to a wide variety of women, not just ones that can pay luxury prices.
We want you to feel valued and cared for. From the time you inquire about a trip, we are here to answer all your questions, help you see if this trip is right for you, connect you with other adventurers, and make sure that you feel ready and comfortable to have this adventure.
At Great Laurel Adventures, we plan and lead small group trips for women looking for adventure and community. We believe in taking out the logistics headache of travel while still giving you the freedom to have your own adventure, all with our support. We believe that you can still have a fantastic trip without having to pay luxury prices. We believe in giving you an experience where you feel valued and cared for every step of the way.
Great Laurel Adventures was created by me, Leslie Prescott. I am an avid traveler, but I also enjoy planning travel for both myself and others. I've planned travel for my family, friends, customers and my own solo adventures for over 20 years. I love the idea of building community through bringing women together for travel and adventure. However, as I searched out existing models, I only found ones that were prohibitively expensive for many. I decided to create a similar community that was accessible to more women.
"Leslie at Great Laurel Adventures went above and beyond to ensure our trip to Guatemala was everything we wanted it to be. She encouraged us to try things and offered an innumerable amount of options and support along the way. It was such a beautiful experience to learn and grow through international travel. I am so fortunate to have taken the maiden voyage and look forward to many more." - Jordan B.
