About

Forum by Prométour is an educational travel agency on Adams Avenue in San Diego's Normal Heights neighborhood, headquartered at 2700 Adams Ave, Suite 205, in the 92116 ZIP. The company is the U.S. arm of the Prométour Group, founded in Montreal in 1992 by childhood friends Sébastien Letailleur, Stanislas Myszkowski, and Xavier Buisson, with Forum's American office established in San Diego to serve world-language teachers and their students. The Adams Avenue address places Forum near Meraki Café, one of several independent coffee shops along the Normal Heights corridor where the Forum team meets with visiting educators and local school administrators planning upcoming trips. Core programs include language-immersion homestays, reciprocal school-group exchanges, cultural tours, service-learning trips, and Connecting Classrooms — a free virtual-exchange program that pairs U.S. classrooms with international peers for intercultural learning through video sharing. Destinations span French-speaking Canada, Spain, France, Latin America, and West Africa, and the agency holds a 4.8 rating on Google based on teacher and student feedback praising customized itineraries and on-site coordination in cities including Málaga, Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada. The San Diego office team includes Zachary, a Linguistics graduate from San Diego State University, and Alexis, a San Diego native who lived in Tijuana and studied abroad in Germany — backgrounds that reflect the company's emphasis on firsthand cultural fluency rather than generic tour packaging. Forum's language-education model aligns with international teaching credentials offered through institutions in the broader 92116 area, including Global Tesol College in neighboring Hillcrest, which certifies English-language instructors for overseas classrooms. The Prométour Group also maintains offices in Málaga, Spain and Paris, giving the San Diego team direct coordination channels with local guides and host families in each destination rather than relying on third-party tour aggregators.
