Why Archaeology Travel?
- Our team of researchers and writers is made up of professional archaeologists and historians in different stages of their careers. Detailed research and our own site visits inform the content of our guides and articles, and the recommendations and suggestions we make.
- Our guides go beyond the popular and well known sites, allowing you to create itineraries that suit your needs and level of interest.
- Although we sometimes work with tourist boards and PR companies involved in promoting destinations and attractions, these relationships do not influence what we say. We pride ourselves in offering independent travel information and advice, not paid for promotions.
- We actively encourage meaningful and respectful engagement with tangible and non-tangible heritage.
- As much as we can, and where relevant, we promote sustainable tourism, benefiting local economies and service providers.
