Learn With Authority
In the seat of the Irish legislature, discuss the country’s political affairs with a member of the parliament. On the shore of Inle Lake in Burma, enjoy lunch in a family home, where the eldest daughter will discuss the home and the family’s history on Inle Lake. Wherever you go with Road Scholar, you’ll meet experts eager to enrich your journey with their intimate knowledge of each fascinating locale.

Discover by Doing
Pick up your clubs and perfect your putting on the Alabama greens with an expert teaching pro by your side. Don’t just savor Greek cuisine; prepare it yourself in a cooking workshop with a celebrated cookbook author. There is no substitute for learning by experience, and with Road Scholar, every discovery is served hands-on.

Unlock the World From the Inside Out
You’ve seen a sunrise, but have you seen the sunrise over Angkor Wat? The city walls of Derry are the last on the Emerald Isle; walk atop them to truly absorb their history and significance. Road Scholar programs are defined by the access they provide to out-of-the-way, hard-to-find and rarely seen places, through experiences the individual traveler could not arrange alone.

Learn It by Living It
Go beyond just reading about Vietnamese weaving traditions in a guidebook to actually visiting the villages and families to study their craftsmanship firsthand. The authentic experience of a place requires immersion in its daily life and rhythms, and Road Scholar leads you to the knowledge found only in local communities, homes and people.

Lead Yourself
Every Road Scholar program opens a path to learning on your own. Whether it’s a hotel in the heart of Manhattan or a family-run guesthouse in Bhutan, Road Scholar accommodations situate you in the heart of a place so that self-discovery is mere footsteps away.
