About Alumni Travel

https://www.travelfortravellers.com/types-of-travel/alumni-travel/We are pleased to offer an exciting selection of educational itineraries created for those who love to explore the world with like-minded adventurers and experienced tour operators. Whether you are a seasoned traveler, or a first time USask alumni traveller, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you will be well looked after and in excellent company. Our travel partners specialize in creating first class educational and cultural experiences for alumni and other group organizations. They are carefully selected based on many considerations including financial responsibility, sustainable travel practices, established reputation, professional staff, high standards and dependability. Professional tour operators dedicated to ensuring your enjoyment and safety are with you throughout your trip. 

Most tours are considered moderately active; travellers should anticipate walking 1-3 hours or more each day at a reasonable pace. Depending on the destination, you should be prepared for uneven terrain (cobblestone streets, small hills, and stairs). Please check with the associated tour operators if you have any questions regarding health and safety protocols for a particular trip.

Please note, while connecting fellow USask alumni is an important aspect of this program, not all trips are exclusive to our travel program. Some trips may include travellers from other universities, alumni associations and educational organizations from Canada and the United States.
