Problems with Road Scholar 2024

When I first began to travel with Elderhostel (now Road Scholar) in 1997 you had to be 60 years old or older.  A few years later you needed to be 55 years old or older. Eventually the age limit was dropped altogether.  As a result the average age of people on a tour is now around 50 years old.  A much more active group.  After going on 69 trips with Road Scholar I no longer feel welcome.  The plus side is that it has forced me to check out other tour companies that do cater to older people.
