Tour
History
Hope College began hosting international educational tours
for Hope alumni, parents, and friends in 1992 with a trip
to Europe with Hope professor Sander DeHaan. The tour continued
to grow in popularity over the years, and has traveled to
destinations such as Sicily, the Galapagos, Dubrovnik and
Africa. The tour typically takes place in the summer and
lasts for 10-14 days.
The unique and interesting component of this
tour, is that a Hope faculty member is involved with organizing
and hosting the tour; making it a true educational experience.
Tour participants learn about the history, culture, art and
language of the areas they visit. We believe this integration
of education and travel is what sets this experience apart
from a typical tour. Also, the opportunity to connect with
friends from the Hope Community creates a special bond among
the participants.
