Wisdom Tours — Custom Cultural Tours

Over the years we have been asked by various groups to create custom cultural and educational tours designed around a particular destination and topic of interest. Kelly Cullins, a retired study abroad director from Saint Michael's College of Vermont and I are delighted to offer 4 exciting custom tours in 2008 & 2009 for faculty, staff and friends in higher education for those living in Vermont and throughout the country. During these fascinating learning adventures whole new worlds will unfold as you make intimate discoveries that are not possible on traditional tours.

A Wisdom Tour is more than a vacation — it is a stimulating intellectual expedition. Experience some of the most remarkable ancient civilizations in the world — India, Greece, China, Tibet and Bhutan. Explore, in depth, the inner and outer environments of these fascinating lands so rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.

Our upcoming programs offer a unique learning experience for both the first-time international traveler and the savvy world adventurer who have an interest in art, architecture, environmental studies, philosophy, history, anthropology, religion and psychology. It is with much pleasure that we invite you to see and experience these remarkable cultures with our uniquely different itineraries.

To know these ancient cultures, is to know their spiritual traditions — a Wisdom Tours specialty! Having lived, studied, and traveled in these countries for more than 3 decades, we have designed our itineraries to take you off the beaten path. See the living botanical gardens of Sikkim, in Northern India. Visit the world's highest Buddhist monastery at the base camp of Mt. Everest in Tibet. Explore the Aegean Island of Samos, in Greece — a favorite retreat of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. In Bhutan, enjoy one of the world's most pristine natural environments and an ancient Buddhist culture where life has changed very little through the ages.

We invite you to let us arrange a program to fit the travel interests of your group!
