Archaeology


On an ACE archaeology tour, a mix of storytelling and debate, imagination and interrogation bring ancient and historical worlds to the fore while also unearthing the endless mysteries surrounding their existence.

In the company of expert Tour Directors, many of whom are active contributors to current archaeological study, up-to-date research is combined with contrasting perspectives on fundamental questions about the mysterious lands of the distant past and the people who lived there. A carefully chosen selection of daytime visits are interspersed with talks from the Tour Director, as well as free time to explore and contemplate at each site.
