Tour Operator
For the past 40 years, Archaeological Tours has been arranging specialized tours for a discriminating clientele. Our tours feature distinguished scholars who emphasize the historical, anthropological and archaeological aspects of the areas visited. We offer a unique opportunity for tour participants to see and understand historically important and culturally significant areas of the world.
Our lecturers are carefully selected not only for qualities of scholarly excellence, but for their ability to communicate and their willingness to share the experience of discovery.
In addition to our lecturer and local guide, all ARCHAEOLOGICAL TOURS are escorted throughtout the tour. The tour escort will look after all the details, handle all the tipping (included in all our tours),
It is the philosophy of Archaeological Tours that travel to foreign lands should not isolate you from the inhabitants, hence we choose the best available accommodations in the mainstream of local life. We know you have interests beyond history and archaeology and so we provide time to stroll through markets and include cultural performances as well as a sampling of the local foods. ARCHAEOLOGICAL TOURS is a small company offering the highest level of personalized service to our clients. We will be happy to arrange an early arrival or a customized extended stay after our tour.
