To all the hard working women of color who believe that this company is an oases - please run. Please take the time to review the responses to complaints from this company. They are all highly defensive and rude. A genuine apology is never offered. I am sure that those individuals were also immediately removed from the group’s FB page. The concept of this travel firm is fantastic, but the excursion is highly flawed. The company is run by an individual who is incapable of receiving constructive feedback. Please bless your hard earned dollars on a different, and better organized company and one that really values both praise and calls for improvement.

I absolutely loved the Ethiopia trip. As usual, STS never disappoints!

An extremely pleasant experience. The hotels were above par and the restuarants' cuisine was wonderful. Moreover, the the thoughtful itinerary was so comprehensive. My favorite;seeing the Picasso art pieces!! And, the Euro- African tour was quite interesting as well. Thought the hilly terrain was at times challenging. Spain and Portugal lived up to my expectations. My only suggestion is, additional hotel staff to assist with luggage transport to and from the hotels, and less wait time at the airport and train station for departing transportation between venues. And, finally, our tour guide was exceptional, congenial, etc! And, the Traveling Sisters were fantastic!

Great small group travel experience, with a wonderful group of ladies. This was my second trip with STS and it did not disappoint. Well organized and a great balance of scheduled events/tours and time to do what you wanted, Cynthia was the trip Captain my second experience with her and she is truly amazing very professional and on top of things. The African Lisbon Tour and the catamaran boat trip were my personal favorites.I will definitely be booking another trip.

I've traveled with STS on two international trips, and both experiences were exceptionally well organized from start to finish. One of the things I appreciate most is not having to worry about the logistics and small details of travel. Everything is thoughtfully planned, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy my vacation.I also value the opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures while still having free time built into the itinerary for independent exploration. Another highlight is the community of women who join these trips. Although we come from different cities across the United States, we quickly connect, form friendships, and create wonderful memories together.I've had such positive experiences with STS that I'm already exploring trips to book for 2028!
