Featured cultural tours in Greece

Exploring Greece on a cultural tour

Architectural gems and archaeological legends dominate our ancient Greece itineraries. We retrace the footsteps of pilgrims from who journeyed to Delphi and marvel at the sophistication of the Parthenon – both UNESCO enshrined sites. Off the well-trodden path, our experts illuminate the astonishing Cyclopean walls of the citadel at Tiryns and reveal Venetian monasteries tottering atop the Cretian hills.

The sea, inseparable from Greek identity, forms another integral part of our journeys. The Ancient Greeks were amongst the earliest civilisations to harness the militaristic power of the sea, and oil and wine flowed between their colonies on trading vessels. Sailing the Aegean, takes you to spectacular coastal sites, whilst we gaze out across the sea from the Temple of Poseidon on Classical Greece.

Why travel with us?

Leading expertise

For 36 years we have been the most influential organisation in the field of cultural travel, offering an unequalled range of tours and events. Pioneering and innovative, we have led the way with ideas and itineraries and by setting the benchmarks for customer service and administration.

Privileged access

Special arrangements are a feature of our tours – for admission to places not generally open to travellers, for access outside public hours, for private concerts and extraordinary events. In innumerable ways, we lift our clients’ experience far above standards which are regarded as normal for tourists.

First-rate speakers

Expert speakers are a key ingredient in our tours. Academics, curators, writers, broadcasters and researchers, they are selected not only for their knowledge but also for their ability to communicate clearly and engagingly to a lay audience. Their brief is to enlighten and stimulate, not merely to inform.

Holiday protection

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays which include international flights, by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL); and for those that do not include a flight, by way of a bond held by ABTOT – The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited.

Personal service

We aim for faultless administration from your first encounter with us to the end of the holiday, and beyond. We want you to come back again and again – as most of our clients do. We can provide options without international travel if you prefer to make your own arrangements.

Award-winning

Five consecutive years as Best Special Interest Holiday Company at the British Travel Awards (2015–19) reflects our commitment to excellence. With a remarkable 99% satisfaction rating from more than 1,100 independent reviews, our attention to detail and client care is unmatched.

Most of our tours run with between 10 and 20 participants. Our travellers are self-selected by common interests and an endorsement of our ethos. You are highly likely to find yourself among like-minded companions, whether travelling solo (as 50% of our clients do) or with a travel partner.

Value for money

The price includes nearly everything, not only the major ingredients such as hotel, transport and the costs of the lecturer and manager but also tips, drinks with meals, and airport taxes. The price published is the price you pay.
