Experience the People, Try a Cultural Tour

If traveling to another westernized city and staying in a standard hotel on your next vacation seems very similar to your last vacation perhaps booking a Cultural Tour is the change you need. Cultural Holidays are immersion based travel experienced to allow you to really connect with the culture of a specific country and sometimes even specific regions of a country.  This is about getting real experiences within a cultural setting through the history and traditions of the people.



A Romanian holiday will take you to the seldom explored north of Romania and Transylvania. Romania is in many ways untouched by major technology advances and the people live much as they have for the past hundred years. Few know much about the area and the experiences here including the incredible painted churches and stone castles, all perched among post card like scenery will fill you with stories to tell on your return. 



Perhaps the mysteries of Sri Lanka are more to your inquisitive mind. This beautiful country is a lush jungle island and although small has a great deal to offer visitors trying to get off the beaten path. Over 400 birds reside here and the tiny island is home to 9 world heritage sites, is famous for it’s tea and the sandy beaches that touch the Indian Ocean. While here try the hike from Baker’s Falls through the Horton Plains National park to see the incredible views from World’s End before the clouds return and hide it again.
There are about 2000 more options for Cultural Holidays around the world. A little research will find a place your heart wants to take you.
