Q. What does a typical trip consist of?
The Club offers travel experiences that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the culture, history, politics, art, architecture and natural beauty of a region.

Q. Who leads the trips?
Every trip is led by a Study Leader, Tour Manager and Club Host. The Study Leader holds a series of lectures and is available for in-depth discussion and one-on-one conversation throughout the journey. Their expertise is complemented by local guides and experts.

Q. I'm traveling alone. Will there be others with whom I can spend time?
One major benefit of Club travel is that you're surrounded by like-minded people who share your interests. You might even make lifelong friends.

Q. Are all the trip activities scheduled, or will I have some free time?
All of our trips allow for individual exploration. We strive to find the perfect balance between free time and structured activities.

Q. What is included in the trip price?
The services of a Study Leader, Tour Manager and Club Host, and the educational program are included in the rates. In general, transportation within your destination and most meals are included. We itemize exactly what is and is not included in the trip price in the Terms and Conditions section of each brochure.

Q. Are international flights included in the trip price?
Because many people would rather book their own international flights, The Club does not usually include them in the trip rates.
