Imagine the best vacation you ever had. Exotic locales, cosmopolitan elegance, breathtaking countryside. Now you can make that great experience unforgettable, when you partner with the Boston College Alumni Travel Program.

We offer comprehensive trips that provide a savvy traveler's take on your favorite locales. Taste fine wine in Tuscany, encounter Irish history firsthand, or experience China’s rare antiquities. With almost all excursions, expert local guides or Boston College professors will introduce you to the very heart of your destination’s history, culture, and cuisine.

It's a chance to learn, a chance to challenge yourself, a chance to relax, and, best of all, a chance to travel with other BC alumni and friends.
