At Vivida, we believe travel is deeply life enriching
Our curated journeys across Europe invite you to slow down, connect with a small circle of like-minded women, and immerse yourself in the magic of experiencing culture, cuisine, and conversation.
Led personally by its founder, Lynda McArdle, Vivida tours are crafted for women who want to explore new adventures with joy, curiosity, and ease.
We keep things small and unhurried, so there's time to really take it all in - the surroundings, the food, the laughter, the stories shared over a glass of wine.
From the moment you arrive, you can relax, feel looked after, and know that every detail has been handled with care.
Slow and elegant travel
Thoughtfully paced itineraries with multiple-night stays in each destination. No early starts or rushing from city to city. There's an intentional balance of included activities and personal time to relax, discover and choose your own adventure.
Founder-led expertise
You'll be hosted by Lynda from the first city to the last, with deep knowledge and warmth. Restaurant and wine recommendations are her specialty, alongside any help you may need deciding what to see and do in your free time, tailored to your personal interests.
Meaningful connection
With small groups of 10-12 women, connections form naturally and last well beyond the journey. Much less like a busy tour and more like a group of friends discovering somewhere wonderful together.
Private comfort
Every guest enjoys the comfort and privacy of their own beautifully appointed room in quality accommodations, with no extra charge. Relish the space and choice to live exactly as you please!
