Testimonials
This was my first visit to Sicily: if I go again it will be tempting fate to enjoy it as much. We were there at the peak of the wildflower meadows, the weather was perfect, the sites amazing, the company genial, and the Andante touch iced an already perfect cake...
Pompeii was a childhood dream, that was more than realised on this trip
Andante Travels can be relied upon to come up with something unusual, whether it is peering at stone-age cave paintings in the Pyrenees, joining in Venice’s carnival, or following in the desert tracks of T E Lawrence in Syria.
Travelling with like-minded people to places well off the beaten track... To see an original Roman bridge and such a superb Roman theatre at Merida was unforgettable. The photos do not do it justice. You had to be there.
Andante Travels, founded and run by archaeologists, attracts travellers of many ages – from the 30s to the late 70s - but one shared passion.
A new destination. An excellent team to take care of us. A fabulous opportunity to travel with such a knowledgeable lecturer for whom doors are opened, and who is delightful unstuffy company.
Feeling secure and provided for in such wonderful and exotic but possibly dangerous environments and so free to enjoy the expert guidance that revealed this magnificent civilisation. Choice of hotel rooms with balcony/gardens enhanced it all brilliantly.
