Our Commitment to You

AHI is committed to you

Our passion for authentic, responsible and life-changing travel experiences shapes every program.

AHI Travel is a creative travel company recognized around the world for deluxe, personalized group travel programs. Richard and Arlene Small,two travel industry pioneers, founded the company in 1962, when they launched the first alumni travel programs at universities across the United States. Soon after, they introduced AHI in Canada. They quickly earned an outstanding reputation for quality, service and value, which AHI continues to deliver today to alumni and individual travelers alike.

Right: Dancer, Thailand Far right: Museum visit Personal involvement shapes every aspect of our tours. In fact, AHI leaders Brian, Joe and Rick Small help plan every program. And long before we finalize a program, our team of experienced travel experts stays in the hotels, eats in the restaurants and visits every site. We detail the things that matter most (like the number of cathedral steps you must climb or restaurants with the best food and views!) to travelers.

And now, in collaboration with our international suppliers, our team has put into action new protocols for health, safety and cleanliness. These include more rigorous sanitizing regimens for river cruise ships, hotels and motor coaches; social distancing in motor coaches and restaurants; widely available hand sanitizer; and many other protective tactics. With these proactive initiatives in place, you can rest easy and simply focus on enjoying the people and treasures of the destination. Our aim is to please you, period. By consistently meeting travelers’ high expectations over the decades, we appeal to educated, cultured and experienced travelers — people like you. Many clients have been so pleased with our programs that they boast of taking 15, 20, even 30 trips with us!

We know you have many travel options and probably just as many questions. So contact Cal Discoveries Travel at 510.900.8222 or caldiscoveries@alumni.berkeley.edu. We look forward to helping you plan your trip.

The story of travel involves more than a ticket and a passport. It should weave

together discovery, education and humanity, the best elements of any compelling tale.

Your personal travel story begins with our commitment to delivering authentic

experiences with local people.

AHI Connects

From intimate dinners to behind-the-scenes visits to hands-on lessons, our team curates unique events that instill a deeper appreciation for your destination. Learn to make rice noodles with a Cambodian family, experience a lively samba workshop in Rio or witness a fascinating, centuries-old craft on the island of Brač. Come away with memorable, immersive experiences that also support the communities we visit! “My only other group travel experience was AHI’s Cuba trip in 2017, which set a very high standard for my expectations. This trip was also outstanding in every way. Nani is outstanding as were all the speakers and guides. Nani’s efficiency and warmth ensure that we, as travelers, know that the details are handled and we

can enjoy our travels. I think the plan of Athens at the beginning and end, with Poros as the center piece with day trips was brilliant. Poros became a home away from home in part, but also, we were welcome guests in Nani’s community! Ourexperience was a true Greek experience of hospitality and friendship ... Also, the learning aspects were so enriching and rewarding that I am reminded of the value of travel as helping us develop as citizens of the world.”
