History, Heritage & Traditions

We believe the best way to understand a city, a town, or a village is to look beyond its most famous sights. We reveal the details of a place, finding local culture in the food served at the table, the produce at a market, and the stories attached to the monuments.

Our cultural holidays take you beyond the headline sights, whether you’re exploring the root-knotted Angkor Temples at sunrise, tracing the Maya through Chichén Itzá, or uncovering millennia of Egyptian history among the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur.

In Peru, a journey to magical Machu Picchu might open onto the wider Inca world, with the Sacred Valley revealing patchworks of ruins and beguiling landscapes. In Argentina, Buenos Aires offers grand architecture, lively music and an energetic food scene mixing European traditions, bold South American flavours and an increasingly adventurous modern culinary movement. From its grand boulevards to intimate neighbourhoods like Colegiales, the city rewards those who explore beyond the well-trodden path.

And in Morocco, Marrakesh’s souqs and traditional crafts offer a vivid encounter with the city. We’ll guide you through the Medina to discover artisans at work and experience the flavours, sounds and colours of its markets.

Whether your interests lead you to ancient civilisations, timeless traditions, architecture or food, our cultural holidays combine expert local knowledge with bespoke experiences, giving you the freedom to experience the world and its cultures your way.
