The Craven Community College Foundation’s Lifetime Learning Center is pleased to announce The Best of Scotland, an international travel and learn adventure. Our 9-day tour will feature a harmonious blend of culture and countryside.

AAA of the Carolinas is our designated agent and our tour is a customized itinerary through the Trafalgar Premiere program, a provider known for their experienced tour directors and local guides. These experienced professionals have the local knowledge to do what the guidebooks can’t – give you an insider’s perspective on each destination and create a vacation experience you simply could not have on your own.

Our goal is to create an international adventure where our participants feel like travelers, not tourists, and we share an ‘insider’s view’ of Scotland with an authentic and enhanced travel and learning experience.

We are very excited about the trip! Please review the itinerary within and join the Lifetime Learning Center for The Best of Scotland!

Please feel free to call me directly if you have any questions regarding this opportunity at (252) 633-2618. If you are ready to register, please contact Corri Besier with AAA of the Carolinas at (252) 523-7777.

Warm regards and happy travels,
