Road Scholar programs are the next generation of learning and travel opportunities. Each program has been thoughtfully designed by people like you, who view travel as a means for discovery and a journey toward wisdom. Road Scholar casts you in the role of active participant, with hands-on activities and behind-the-scenes experiences that would be difficult or impossible to arrange on your own. Our programs not only open doors in a literal sense, they also open doors to lifelong learning with the power to change the world — one viewpoint at a time.

Road Scholar is for adults of all ages who want to discover the world in new, experiential ways. Road Scholars enjoy exploring on their own, but also welcome the camaraderie of sharing the journey with a small number of like-minded travelers who are passionate about learning and exploration. If you believe that moving beyond your comfort zone and stepping out of life’s routines can lead to new insights and life-changing personal discovery — you’re a Road Scholar.

Resident experts lead each program and open doors that are often closed to commercial groups and tourists. Free time incorporated into each program gives you the chance to pursue the experiences that matter most to you. But, to really understand what makes Road Scholar unique we invite you to explore the Road Scholar website and then join us for a program to fully experience the world of difference Road Scholar offers.
