Meet a WorldExplore Tour Director!

WorldExplore tours are led by experienced educators that have extensive, firsthand knowledge of the culture around you because your Tour Director is a local. That means visiting the Eiffel Tower and an out-of-the-way coffee shop that makes the very best chocolat chaud in Paris.

WorldStrides receives nearly 1,500 Tour Director applications each year. On average, only 70 applicants will make the cut.

Simon Wilkinson

Hello! I was born in Kampala, Uganda, but home for me is England and I have traveled to almost every corner of Britain. I am a veteran high school teacher who loves exploring the world. I enjoy acquiring new languages and have had the chance to use my Spanish in Ecuador and my French in France, Morocco, and Madagascar. Working as a Tour Director for WorldStrides is exciting for me because it combines teaching, logistics, and exploring. I look forward to sharing your adventure with you!

We are incredibly proud of our entire team of Tour Directors. Simon is just one example of our roster of experienced guides and may not be the actual Tour Director for your London & Paris adventure.
