ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS






 






With Cultural Crossroads, you will learn a lot about forgotten cities and hidden civilizations. From the Inca’s cultures to the majestic Egyptian Pharaohs and from first steps of Christianity to the last glories of the Hittites, Cultural Crossroads will guide you through the centuries with its time-back machine of cultural discovery.

Pyramids, sacred mountains, and golden masks will be not only ruins, stones and museum artifacts for you, but traces of living people, who have left behind great cultural heritage.

Our tour directors and guides will reveal secrets that only the local people know about the nations and cultures that created great monuments and incredible pieces of art. In some tours, you will have access to sites open only to archaeologists. Private visits to museums with specialized lectures on historic periods given by world renowned scientists will enlighten your knowledge and understanding of cultures that defined the course of humanity.

No matter if it is a candle-light dinner in a museum, or exclusive tour of the newest archaeological dig, your experience and contact with the most ancient civilizations in the world will be unique and unforgettable.









Testimonials

    Dear Carrie,

    Everything about the arrangements for our trip to Turkey went well!  We were impressed by the clarity of our communication with you and the excellent folks in Turkey, and how thoughtfully you responded to our particular preferences and timing, even as we got quite close to our departure date. The in-country administrative staff, drivers, and guides we met were consistently knowledgeable, personable, and flexible, and of course spoke excellent English. Their follow-up was always thorough and professional, checking in frequently to be sure we were well-informed and that things were working out to our liking. What a difference it made to have people who really "knew the territory" and could help us navigate easily.  We experienced and learned so much more than we ever would have on our own.  We enjoyed getting to know a little bit of this diverse and fascinating country and would love to return!

    Steamer and Judy Walke, Montpelier, Vermont
