Aggie Adventures Travel Program

For many years, UC Davis alumni and friends have discovered the world on Aggie Adventures. Time and time again, we hear from our travelers that their fondest travel memories involve the human element—fellow Aggie travelers, lecturers, guides, staff and the local community members we encounter during our programs. Aggie Adventures travelers have friends all over the world.

Exploring the globe with a spirit of relationship building is the foundation of every Aggie Adventures tour. Together we delve into the art, music, culture, industry, politics and community life of regions worlds apart from our own, getting to know the heart and soul of a place from the most credible source—the people who live there. Their mutual interest in our way of life often leads to rich cultural exchanges.

"The trip to China and Tibet was incredible!"

The entire group was comprised of twelve alums with an English speaking Chinese tour guide who was with us the entire time in China and Tibet, sharing customs, history and personal family life in China. UC Davis takes excellent care of their travel group in a professional and joyful fashion.  I highly recommend CAAA Travel. -  Diane Carlson Biggs ‘81
