Welcome
Professor Tom Cardoza and Professor Cheryl Cardoza offer fun, educational tours for students and others. You are probably wondering to yourself: Why take an Educational Tour?
Traveling in a tour group is fun. Travelling alone is often a pain. There is a reason that the English word "travel" and the French word "travail" (hard work, suffering) are so close together. Traveling on your own can be a pain. Traveling as part of a tour means that you lose something: the "travail" part of travel. What you get to keep is the fun part.
Educational tours also have a purpose: they enrich your understanding of the world around you and help you understand your place in it. In short, they don't just make you a better person, they make you a more effective person. In an ever-shrinking and interconnected world, understanding other cultures is increasingly important. It is also a great deal of fun.
Our tours are designed to do several things:
- Help you understand the history, culture, and language of another country, making you a more intelligent, knowledgeable, and effective person. By enhancing your knowledge of the world around you, you'll make yourself a more desirable employee as well as a better global citizen.
- Help you have fun and enjoy your time in another country. We are experts in the culture, so we act as your guides, helping you have a positive and memorable experience.
- Take the pain out of travel, so you get to spend your precious time doing what you came to do: learn and have fun. We have both traveled the hard way, and while it has its rewards, it also has its many, many punishments. If you want to travel solo the hard way someday, taking one of our tours will give you the foundation you need for maximum success.
