Where culture, art and history meet the classroom

For 30 years, Bring It Promotions has taken college groups around the world. Now we're bringing that same care to fully educational tours, with no athletics involved.

Every tour is customized to your group. You choose the destinations, the dates, the pace and the focus, and we design the itinerary around it: university lectures, museum visits, guided historic sites and real time with local communities. We handle the flights, payments, hotels, guides and every detail in between, so you and your students can focus on learning.

University lectures, seminars and site visits matched to your discipline.

Flights & payments

Group airfare booking and individual student payment management.

Hotels, meals & transport

Vetted, centrally located hotels, group meals and all ground transportation.

Guides & support

In their words

Trusted by college programs for 30 years

“Our experience with BIP Collegiate Tours was exceptional. Over the course of six countries and three international matches, our student-athletes, staff and supporters were immersed in an experience that went far beyond competition. Two of our professors traveled with us and led a custom one-credit course throughout the trip, teaching in real time as we moved from place to place. BIP was outstanding in collaborating with our professors to intentionally integrate the academic component into the overall experience, allowing our team to study the history, cultural context, and environmental sustainability considerations of each location we visited. This included deeper exploration of significant sites such as the D-Day beaches and the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, connecting historical understanding with broader discussions around sustainability in sport and travel. It was a truly impactful experience that has made a lasting mark on each one of us.”

Brenn Ferguson · Catawba College

“The experience in Italy was seamless, thoughtfully organized, and incredibly valuable for our students’ learning and engagement. It was exactly the kind of on-the-ground support that allows faculty and students to immerse themselves fully in the cultural experience.”

Scott Schmidt, Ed.D. · Assistant Professor of Business and Master's of Sports Admin & Leadership Program Director, Augustana University

“Every trip was thoughtfully planned, culturally enriching, and incredibly impactful. Bring It Promotions consistently delivers first-class logistics, meaningful cultural immersion, and a seamless balance between education and travel.”
