Emma Gély – New owner, Tour with Absolutely
Raised in a bilingual French and British family, my passion for travel began during my childhood, where I developed a deep appreciation for new horizons. With a background in nursing, I came to the conclusion that travel is indeed the best medicine! Taking a year off to explore the world, I discovered the importance of taking time for yourself. This journey inspired me to care for others in a different way. Crossing borders and meeting other inspiring women strengthened my belief in the power of connection and solidarity among women worldwide.
Take a break and travel with us!
Nancy McGee – Partner, Tour with Absolutely
Founder and former owner of Absolutely Southern France travels.
It is with great pride that I am sharing my years of experience and knowledge of the travel industry with Emma. This partnership will allow me to gradually take time for myself and spend more time with my family and people who matter most.
I look forward to working with Emma in whom I have great confidence.
