People have always traveled to foreign countries to broaden their minds, learn another language and soak up another culture. Now some tour companies are taking that thirst for knowledge to a new level.
Road Scholar, for example, specializes in organizing trips with a learning purpose. Current offerings include:
- A Cold War tour to Moscow where you’ll meet ex-KGB agents and visit secret spy sites.
- The Music Train tour of Austin, Texas where you’ll visit music studios and see live performances.
- Tracking mountain gorillas in Rwanda where you’ll come face-to-face with these rare creatures in their natural habitat.
Browsing Road Scholar’s hundred-odd programs will give you plenty of inspiration for planning a really worthwhile group tour and groups are easily catered for.
You can also plan your own cultural experience. In many countries, for example Japan, citizen groups are available to organize special experiences, such as learning to cook the local cuisine or learning to play a traditional Japanese musical instrument.
Whatever the particular focus of your group, there is bound to be a learning vacation available that fits.
