study tour

Learning-focused group trip

A study tour is an organized trip combining travel with educational objectives, typically for students or professionals visiting sites relevant to their field of study.

Unlike casual tourism, study tours have structured itineraries focused on learning: The architecture students took a study tour of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.

Also called an educational tour.
