South Mountain Expeditions promises you a worry-free vacation that combines learning with fun and comfort! With over 30 years of experience in planning and managing study tours throughout the United States and around the globe, we guarantee innovative, educational tours of the highest quality.

In addition to an expert historian such as the incomparable Ed Bearss, a professional tour manager accompanies each of our groups to ensure that the tour runs smoothly, that our participants have the best travel experience possible, and that we have fun along the way! Our unflappable tour managers have many years of experience with tour and group logistics. They never lose their cool in the face of the inevitable unexpected occurrence whether it be a guide strike in Athens, Greece or a road closure in Glacier National Park due to a July blizzard! You can rest assured that you will be in the very best of hands.

Your comfort is our highest priority. We carefully select first class hotel accommodations that offer quality standards and amenities. When choosing restaurants for our lunches and dinners we often look for historic properties that combine excellent food and fast, efficient service. Our deluxe air-conditioned coaches come complete with a snack box (granola bars, cookies, etc.) and coolers of ice-cold, bottled water and sodas.

We hope to see you on one of our tours soon.
