At B&G Adventures Abroad, we believe travel is the most powerful classroom. What began twenty years ago as a signature Spanish immersion program for teenagers has evolved into a global travel community. Today, we offer curated international experiences across three distinct pillars: Language & Culture for Teens, Curated Experiences for Adults, and High-Performance Sports Camps.

Whether you are a student discovering independence in the plazas of Spain, an athlete training in world-class facilities, or an adult traveler seeking a deep dive into the food, history, and soul of a new country, B&G provides the bridge.

Based in San Francisco but operating globally, we specialize in small-group journeys that prioritize authenticity, personal connection, and safety. From our chaperoned group flights to our expert-led itineraries, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the memories.

The Program Pillars

Teen Immersion & Study Abroad

Our flagship two-week Spanish immersion program is designed to give middle and high school students a unique blend of academic growth, cultural discovery, and unforgettable experiences. The journey begins in San Francisco, where students who wish to travel with our chaperones will meet for the group flight; however, flexible options are available for those who prefer to meet us directly in Spain. Each morning, students take part in three to four hours of dynamic Spanish classes tailored to their level through an initial assessment.

Classes are taught by highly qualified instructors in modern university facilities, where students reside in comfortable single or double rooms with private bathrooms. Afternoons are dedicated to exploring Spain: guided excursions through vibrant cities, cultural workshops such as cooking or dance, visits to historic landmarks, sports, and evenings filled with authentic food and local traditions, from Flamenco shows to lively plazas.

On weekends, students embark on longer excursions to nearby regions, broadening their understanding of Spain’s diversity. Throughout the program, students are supported in small groups by experienced chaperones, ensuring both safety and personal attention. With peers from around the world, participants not only advance their Spanish but also build global friendships and lasting memories in one of the most enriching cultural settings.

Adult Cultural Explorations

Travel Like a Local, Not a Tourist

We believe the best way to see the world is through the eyes of those who call it home. Specializing in Italy and Spain, we offer curated, small-group journeys led by native guides who unlock doors that guidebooks can’t. Whether you’re joining our Sorrento Culinary & Culture Tour—where you’ll master the art of pizza-making, toast with local limoncello, and join in traditional folk dances—or embarking on our Churches of Italy pilgrimage to explore the intersection of sacred history and world-class cuisine, our trips are designed for the active, curious traveler. We balance sophisticated comfort with deep-dive experiences, ensuring you don’t just visit a destination—you feel its pulse.

Sports & Specialty Camps

We don’t just book camps; we open doors. As local experts with deep-rooted relationships across Spain, we bridge the gap between a passion for the game and the world’s most elite sporting environments. From the high-performance courts of Madrid to the world-renowned academies of Barcelona, we bring our insider knowledge to every itinerary. We offer young athletes the chance to train in the same facilities as the professionals while fully immersing themselves in the Spanish way of life. For us, it’s about more than the game—it’s about leveraging our local heritage to give you a global competitive edge.
