If you’ve traveled with Odysseys in the past, you know our tour directors are the best in the business. Ahead of every travel season, members of our Worldwide team hit the road to meet with some of our more than 400 tour directors worldwide to make sure that everything is in place to provide our guests with an excellent on-tour experience.
But that’s not all – they also join in many local team-building activities with their tour director colleagues, from baking classes in Vienna to barista training in Saigon. Scroll down to see highlights from some of this year’s tour director meetings. See any familiar faces?

The tour directors affectionately dubbed the “four Evas” – Ieva Kreslina from Latvia, Eva Matosevic from Slovenia, Eva Koszeghy from Hungary, and Eva Bunner from Germany, respectively – pose together in Vienna.
When they weren’t in meetings, our Worldwide team took in some of the sights and sounds around Vienna.
