They raved about the trips.

I am bookmarking your post, as I have been considering taking a few of their tours.

Loved their offerings, small groups, and always well-planned.

Good luck!

That is since 2000 or 2001. I have heard of people who have been on as many as 75 of them.

As I said below, for national parks, there is nothing better than Road Scholar. It is the best way to see the parks. Unfortunately, they don't have programs for many of them. Washington State is the most egregious of them. They used to have one, but not after COVID.

immersion 6 week one to Seville to brush up my Spanish. But that will have to be in a couple of years.

I was pleasantly surprised. I was not at all excited about a "tour," but my sister convinced me. I'm glad she did.

She seems very pleased with them. Her trip this month was to north central Wisconsin, where she stayed at a lodge by night and paddled on canoe trips by day.

We are in our 60s and we weren't the youngest. The age range was from early 50s to 80s. There was a variety of activities to suit every fitness level and we got in some good hikes.

Plus, the price was very good.

I was a big Backroads girl in my day, but sadly that is behind me. This was good, though.

I did a Road Scholar trip about eight years ago and vowed never to do another one. It was to the five ‘Stan’s and Iran.
First, they said there would only 18 people max on the trip. Turned out to be 26.
Second, they said that if any member could not keep up with the pace they would be sent back. One of the members had had a stroke several years before and was only partially ambulatory. She could not carry her luggage between the multiple, very difficult, ambulatory, border crossings this trip entailed. The entire two plus weeks she commandeered the tour leader and leaned on other members for assistance.
Third, on the Iran portion, the stroke victim was replaced by a pita senior lady who delighted in screaming at every turn that RS had to accommodate her due to the ADA act no matter what country we were in.
It was an interesting trip but just made very uncomfortable by people who should have never been accommodated due to the difficult aspects of the travel.
I now use Overseas Adventure Travel. I find that most of their travelers are fit to the level of difficulty for the particular tour.

I traveled with folks who were as interested in art as I was. Nobody whined or complained if the weather was bad and accommodations had to be made for minor inconveniences. Also I took an Overseas Adventure Travel trip but I don't remember exactly which one I took. I did LOTS of travel due to an inheritance from my mother and she had always loved travel.

We have recently taken 2 Atlas sea and land voyages, both excellent, well managed and with a clientele that was just as interested as we were to find out new information, have new insights, and for me, to see artwork I thought I'd never get to see in my lifetime (2 Caravaggio's on the island of Malta!).

I just finished a trip with them to Yosemite (my third visit), Sequoia, and Kings Canyon national parks. It was great. For visiting national parks in depth, there is nothing better.

Next year I plan on two more: Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bike trip along with the Hiawatha Trail, and three national parks in one trip (Big Bend, Carlsbad Caverns, and Guadalupe Mountains). I love these trips. The only thing is the prices are getting quite expensive, and I don't know how many more I will be able to do.

I haven't done any oversees trips with them, and right now, pushing age 70, they aren't that big a priority.

Beautiful scenery and easy ride. Be sure to take lights on the Hiawatha Trails as some of the tunnels are really long, especially the first one.

I have never been in the area, and they moved there only in the past two or three years. I am going to make a two-week vacation out of it and visit them for a few days after the RS trip and before I head back. I am going to drive there from southern Oregon. I could do the bike trails on my own and save a pile of money, but I doubt I would be doing the entire Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's, much less the Hiawatha Trail, on my own.
