Travel Study Programs

Our tours provide a safe and comprehensive way to explore history, culture, nature, and the arts through visits to well-known sites and those not usually available to travellers.

Itineraries are chosen carefully by academic guides, who share their knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the destinations. Your travel study begins with a special orientation course that surveys the tour’s theme, provides itinerary details, and introduces you to your travel companions. You don’t need a prerequisite for this university program, and the tuition portion of the fee is tax deductible.

Our tours usually include a significant amount of walking and/or climbing and participants should be in excellent health in order to benefit fully from the experiences.

Important Note: We are only able to confirm hotels or to purchase tickets to concerts and other events once each tour reaches its minimum enrolment of 15, so if you are thinking of joining one of the tours, please do not hesitate!

For Whom?

We invite all interested persons, regardless of educational background, who want an unusual travel adventure. These tours will appeal to those who want an additional focus to enhance the quality and enjoyment of their travel experience. Each tour is accompanied both by an academic resource person who is familiar with the destination and an authority in his/her field, and an experienced tour coordinator whose task is to ensure that all runs smoothly and efficiently.
