Andante Travels - Adventures in Archaeology

Orkney and Shetland hold a central place in the archaeological and historical narrative of the United Kingdom, combining outstanding natural landscapes with some of the most significant prehistoric sites in Europe. From Neolithic chambered tombs to later henge monuments, these islands preserve an exceptional record of early settlement and ceremonial activity, earning them a reputation as an “archaeologist’s paradise.”

Our tours are led throughout by Expert Guide Lecturers – professional archaeologists and subject specialists who also act as dedicated tour managers. Accompanying guests from start to finish, they provide continuous interpretation and in-depth insight, ensuring a fully immersive understanding of these remarkable landscapes and their place within Britain’s wider archaeological heritage.

Beyond Orkney and Shetland, we offer a wide-ranging programme of archaeological tours across the United Kingdom and Ireland, exploring regions such as Pembrokeshire, East Anglia, and prehistoric Ireland. Each itinerary is designed with the same scholarly focus and led by our Expert Guide Lecturers, ensuring a consistently high level of insight and engagement.
