Many of our tour directors are part of the CES program or BYU faculty having previously led tours for BYU Travel Study.  Others are emeritus professors who continue their passion for learning and teaching by leading tours to their favorite destinations. They come from diverse backgrounds, each with expertise in his or her respective field.  They put their profound knowledge of historical events and archaeological sites in a gospel context as they lecture, offering participants an extraordinary perspective.  

They each have a special passion and love for the history, culture, people and ties to the LDS faith that each destination and country visited has to offer.  From the beginning stages of designing a tour, our Tour Directors are involved in this unique design process.  Their insight from their personal and professional experiences in each destination gives them expertise in creating a tour that will be most memorable for all who travel with them. 

If you are a current or former member of BYU religion faculty, involved in the Church Education System, a university professor, or are otherwise qualified and would like to direct a tour with LDS Travel Study, please visit our "Contact Us" page to send an email requesting more information.  Enter "Potential Tour Director" in the subject field and a member of our staff will contact you with details.
