What is cultural travel?

Professional tour guides and cultural Tutors are experts in the history and culture of a city or a region. A cultural tour guide will help you understand the context of your destination and make your visit more meaningful and memorable. Cultural tourism focuses on the lifestyle of the people in the area visited, their history, art, architecture and all the elements that make up their way of life. Cultural tourism is not limited to large cities but may include rural areas and the opportunity to learn about country life or indigenous communities and their systems of values and lifestyle. Visiting a travel destination with a cultural travel Tutor will make your travel adventures memorable by allowing you to view a foreign culture from the inside rather than looking in from the outside as a temporary visitor. Connect with a local tour guide to arrange a personalised walking tour of London, a guided tour of NYC or any other city you plan to visit. Travelling to Japan? Find a local cultural tour guide who speaks your language.

What is educational travel?

Educational tours provide both single travelers and groups with the opportunity to expand their world view by exposing them to a different culture and helping them to develop an understanding of its history, language and culture.  In addition, educational travel promotes independence, confidence and problem solving skills.

An educational travel Tutor has an intimate knowledge of the language, history and culture of your travel destination and will tailor your visit to meet your needs and interests, creating a daily schedule which combines a mixture of planned educational excursions with free time for exploration. They can help you plan your adventure before you leave home and even enroll you in classes at your travel destination to learn about the local culture from a different perspective. Learn to dance Flamenco in Seville or take a cooking class and learn to make ravioli in Bologna! ​​

How can Tutor Around help me with travelling essentials for cultural and educational trips?

Tutor Around can connect you with an expert who will advise you about suitable travel options in accordance with your interest and needs. Cultural and educational tour guides can help you plan your trip in detail and determine your itinerary, including travel arrangements and accomodation, and give you an overview of the history, culture and traditions of your travel destination. ​

Learn online before you travel

Online travel experts can help you plan your trip in every detail and provide background information about your destination before you leave home. In that way, your trip will proceed smoothly without unforeseen glitches and you will be well informed and better prepared to appreciate your experience abroad. Find travel planners who can help you book educational excursions before you arrive at your destination.

Learn locally with cultural interpreters

In-person local Tutors are cultural interpreters who will help you to “see inside” your travel destination by sharing with you its history and context and by giving you details about art, architecture and history. They will recount narratives to make the places you visit come alive and make your travel adventure both fascinating and memorable. As experts in their cities and regions, they can help you to discover the lesser known locations which are off the beaten track and which you would likely miss as a self-directed tourist.
