The Academy Travel difference
Behind the diversity of our tours lies a consistency of philosophy and a consistency of approach.
TAILORED SMALL GROUP JOURNEYS
Academy Travel is a leading specialist in small-group cultural tours. We strive to provide a well-planned, fulfilling, and enjoyable itinerary, allowing you to travel with like-minded companions and learn from internationally renowned experts. Our tours are designed to appeal to travellers with a strong interest in history, archaeology, architecture, the visual arts and the performing arts.
Each tour is designed around three basic principles:
Expert tour leaders
Maximum 16 in a group
Carefully planned itineraries
You will find we are not like regular group tours. Working closely with our expert tour leaders, we create itineraries which explore destinations in a meaningful way and include not just the obvious, well-known sites, but also the equally rewarding gems and places that are a little off the beaten path. With an aim to provide a rewarding, in-depth travel experience, each tour provides a balanced program to showcase the best of a destination, including walking tours, museum and site visits, live performances, culinary delights and outstanding natural scenery.
Each tour is led by a passionate, prepared and professional tour leader. They have solid postgraduate qualifications, university level teaching and research experience, and a thorough knowledge of the destination they are visiting. Our tour leaders are joined by a trained tour manager to ensure your safety and comfort on tour, while also overseeing the behind-the-scenes logistics.
