Tour Director Experiential Video Series

While our Tour Directors were unable to do their jobs in person over the past year-plus, they got creative in their pursuit of connecting our guests with the people and places we all long to see. Thus, our Tour Director Experiential Video Series was born!

Throughout the past year, our TDs have sent in a series of wonderful videos offering glimpses of life from all around the world. These new experiential videos are longer, offering more time for our tour directors to do what they do best – share their knowledge and passion for their countries, often while introducing us to a unique aspect of their corner of the world. Check out the first few experiential videos below, and see our YouTube channel for more!
