Archaeology & the Ancient World
revealed through expert eyes

Welcome to Andante Travels

Unusual holidays exploring the ancient past…

Andante Travels is owned and run  by archaeologists who have been quietly but successfully creating our very special holidays for the past 22 years.

We offer two very different programmes:

Featured Tour

8 Days £1100

Travels in Archaeology

- on which every detail is taken care of, leaving you free to enjoy a holiday in the form of an archaeological story.

 

Bare Bones Tours

  - for travellers who prefer less structure and more independence. Time to explore and the option to choose your own meals or eat with friends.

 

Both kinds of holiday provide you with a real insight into the past, a sort of intellectual adventure led by intelligent, articulate and engaging people who are frequently also internationally recognised as the leaders in their fields
