Opening Hours
Our clients are an erudite bunch, which is why we have so many cultural trips in our portfolio. We know about the desire to feel some much needed sun on your face, but that at other times it's more important to explore the mysteries and mindsets of another culture. Even better if the two types of holiday can be combined in one.
We offer trips to explore the world from the Mayan ruins of Central America to the tombs and terracotta troops of China, but fortunately many of the planet's finest cultural highlights are right on our metaphorical doorstep, be that the perfection of the Pantheon in Rome, the art collection at the Hermitage in St Petersburg or the ancient artefacts of Egypt and Iran. Add access to some of the finest guides around, and we think we could keep the hungriest culture vulture satisfied.
