Culture & Civilizations

Our trips aren't about dashing from tourist site to tourist site. They’re about experiencing a land through its traditions, customs and history, its people and archaeological treasures. China, Peru, Egypt, Turkey and Portugal are steeped in age old stories and ancient ruins that will boggle your mind. Why did the Egyptians make the Great Sphinx half human and half lion and how long did it take the Chinese to chisel more than 6,000 life size stone men?
