Educational travel can be expensive, too, although keep an eye out for deals when you book last minute. Solo travelers are generally welcomed, but may be paired with a roommate or face paying a supplement.
You may not have many opportunities to go off and do your own thing. There are a few drawbacks to educational tours, of course. And second, the other members of your group will probably be a lot like you: well-read, curious and adventurous. Leaders of educational tours are subject matter experts - in the case of museum travel programs, they may be among the world’s foremost authorities on a destination’s architecture, art, ecology or history.
What sets these apart from traditional guided tours? First, the depth of knowledge. There’s an easy way to find a guide like Lior: choose a company that specializes in educational tours for adults. And he turned the tour completely around for us. He welcomed discussion, even when it came to Israel’s complicated political past and present. Then, halfway through the tour, we got a new guide, Lior. He would deliver short lectures on each destination and then growl, “Proceed.” Sponsored by Montreat Conference Center, in cooperation with Elderhostel, Inc.įor questions or concerns about accommodations at Montreat, please contact Susan Akduman at call 828.419.9829.įor questions or concerns about the Road Scholar program at Montreat, please contact Tracy Bailey at call once took a history-focused tour of Israel with a guide who hated questions.

The handler of the service animal may be asked to remove their service animal from the premises if the animal is out of control and the animal's owner does not take effective action to control it or the animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. Under control also means that a service animal should not be allowed to bark repeatedly in a quiet place. In that case, the person must still maintain control of the animal. The service animal must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered while in public places unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the person's disability prevents use of these devices. The ADA requires that service animals be under the control of the handler at all times.
A service animal is a dog or miniature horse that is trained to do work or perform tasks for, and to assist, an individual with a disability.
