Destination Training Classes for Tour Leaders

Learning a destination is so important for tour directors & leaders. TripSchool offers both in-person and online learning opportunities to get you trained and up to speed quickly.

You might have a great personality, be excellent at customer service, and are a joy to be around, but unless you know your destinations in and out, you’re not going to get far as a tour director, tour leader, or guide.

Luckily, at TripSchool we have a wide variety of ways you can learn a new destination! We offer online courses, books, and our signature in-person Intensive Destination Trainings.

Please reach out to us if you’d like to discuss training options.
