Road Scholars Report

“My trips with Road Scholar have been consistently exceptional. The trips are well planned and organized, but flexible enough to accommodate individual interests. Road Scholar attracts interesting, thoughtful participants and I have made at least one friendship that will last long after the trip. I can't recommend Road Scholar too highly!”

— Mary Millar

“We just completed our fourth trip with Road Scholar and we’re already planning our next adventure. Road Scholar is attentive to every detail ensuring the maximum satisfaction and comfort for the traveler. They also ensure a 360-degree learning experience: touching on the people today as well as the cultural, historical, geological and mythical relevance of each site visited! You return home enriched by the experience. We would rate them a 10 out of 10!”
