Overview



Cultural Breaks

This tour is part of our new series of cultural breaks, specially designed for the more independent traveller. These tours benefit from the same high level of cultural content as our standard tours, with time also given to independent exploration. As they tend to be based in city centres, these tours typically make more use of public transport as an easier and quicker way of accessing sites. The Tour Director and Tour Manager will also be on hand throughout to introduce travellers to some of the lesser known sites and recommend local places to wine and dine. Read more information about our cultural breaks here.
