Meet The Traveling Professor

Professor Steve Solosky began as a mathematics professor with a passion for Paris, careful planning, and practical travel advice. After years of collecting detailed travel notes, he published The Traveling Professor’s Guide to Paris, which led readers to ask him to personally lead them through Europe.

That simple beginning grew into Small Group Tours by The Traveling Professor, now known for carefully planned adults-only tours, quality hotels, expert local guides, scenic rail where possible, and a more personal alternative to large bus tours.
