I have traveled with a partner and with several tour groups. I will only travel with Road Scholar from now on, after several trips with them. People like tour groups for various reasons, so one tour group is not a match for everyone’s priorities.
Road Scholar is a popular option for people over 50 who travel, and their emphasis on education is a great reason. Their travel specializes in interest (music, art museum, cooking, hiking) and destination. Their options include quite affordable trips to expensive, around-the-world cruises or flights.
Road Scholar has researched their primary customers. Seventy percent of people who travel with that group are women, and more than half the women who travel solo with the group are married.
