Professor Steve Solosky – Founder

Here's my story - about 20 years ago I started traveling to Paris on my own during breaks from my job as a professor at the State University of New York.   Since I am a meticulous note taker, I wrote down everything a traveler to Paris might want to know: hotels, attractions, restaurants, transportation, packing, hidden secrets, money saving ideas, travel tips and more.   Soon afterwards, civic organizations and continuing education programs invited me to present programs on Paris travel.  At those presentations I handed out my travel notes. They told me I should turn those notes into a book, so in 2009 I published "The Traveling Professor's Guide to Paris".  It became a best-seller. Readers from all over the country asked me to take them to Paris and voila! - my tour business was born.   They enjoyed my small group tours for adults to Paris so much they wanted more.  I have since taken early retirement from being a professor and added  tours to Italy, Spain, Peru & Machu Picchu, Iceland, Spain, Norway and other destinations.   Each year we take small group tours of 10-14 adults on about 10-16 trips per year.

I am a regularly featured speaker at The New York Times Travel Show.   I have been cited as an expert  in The New York Times travel articles and regularly contribute to travel-related stories.  My profile appeared in The Wall Street Journal.  Frommer's magazine called me "One of their most savviest travelers". The Professor is a semi-regular guest on Rudy Maxa's World the largest syndicated travel radio program in North America.  The New York Times regularly quotes The Professor. AM900 CHML radio's Scott Thompson in Hamilton, Ontario often reaches out to The Professor for his travel expertise.  I enjoy speaking about travel to civic organizations and groups.  The Traveling Professor is a long-time member of the Southern Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce.

When not living out of suitcase, I reside in Great Barrington, MA and Frisco, TX.

I can talk about travel (especially Paris) for hours and nothing pleases me more than making dreams come true by taking people on my tours.

Of course, I am going to tell you my tours are terrific.  But don't take it from me, listen to what others have to say.   Read the testimonials below or I can put you in contact with travelers who have gone on my tours.   Communicate with them personally and then decide if what I have to offer is for you.

• Click HERE for a wonderful email we received for one of our clients who went to Norway and Iceland with us.
• The Paris trip was wonderful.  I had a great time and enjoyed everything.  Elyse was fantastic as our tour guide - knowledgeable, fun and considerate of all the members of the tour group.  Paris is a beautiful city and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the very best of Paris in a short time.  I would rate this trip a 10!!  Barbara Q., Oakdale, NY.
• We are not "tour people" but decided to go on Professor Solosky's tour to Spain.  We enjoyed interacting with the group and were surprised how easily and quickly we moved around the city.   Because we are such early risers, it was good to have the ability to go on our own and do what we wanted on some days.  Don & Jean C., Happauge, NY
•  Dear Steve, want to let you know that this trip far exceeded my expectations. It was truly a dream come true for my mom. She dreamed of doing this for many years. Elyse is so lovely, smart, sophisticated, patient, funny, educated ..... I could go on but I'm sure you know. Having her as our guide was invaluable.  We will definitely look you up next trip we plan but for a little bit, I need to re-group. Until our paths cross again....thank you so much and I will recommend The Traveling Professor to anyone I know who is going to Paris!  Susan Q., Massapequa Park, NY
• Professor Solosky must think I am a real pain, but every time I called or e-mailed him with questions, he spent all the time I needed to get ready for our trip.   It was important to me because I was taking my aunt to Italy and I wanted every to go perfectly.  Gina M., Denver, CO.
• When you see what he (The Traveling Professor) is offering at the price he is offering it at, you have to be a little skeptical.  But we went to Peru and not only did he deliver everything he promised, it was far better than we thought it would be.   Tom G. (who traveled with his son Tom, Jr.), Buffalo, NY.
• Just a quick note to say that I had an absolutely fabulous time in Paris.  Elyse was wonderful; I loved visiting so many sites. But what I loved most was not only seeing the them but learning the history.  Thank you for all the planning...especially the video on getting to the hotel from the train.  The hotel too was excellent...spotlessly clean and a perfect locations or getting to transportation and restaurants. Our diverse group got along famously and friendships have been formed.  The small group tour is the way to go! I hope that in the future I (and my husband) will be able to join up with you again.  Dee A., Ballston Spa, N.Y.
