We still have some places left on tours departing in September and October this year, but we strongly encourage you to book as soon as possible to secure your place on your preferred tour and departure date. With maximum numbers of 18 on every tour, you can enjoy the sociability of travelling with people who share your interest but in a group small enough to allow for ease of access and quality time with your Guide Lecturer. Within these pages you will also find brand new tours, and extra departures dates for tours whose other dates are already full. All Andante tours come with carefully crafted itineraries designed to stimulate, inform and entertain you. Last but not least, for the solo traveller keen to make an extra saving, we have two tours remaining where there is no single supplement to pay; Uzbekistan (p2) and Pompeii, Herculaneum and Classical Campania (p3). We look forward to you joining us. Happy browsing!

BRAND NEW TOUR
Rome first ventured into the Iberian Peninsula in 218 BCE, campaigning against Hannibal and the Carthaginians. By the time of the Emperor Augustus, 200 years later, all of Spain and what was later to become Portugal, was in Roman hands. The province of Lusitania included much of Portugal and western Spain, and its capital, Mérida, is one of the bestpreserved Roman cities in Europe, although still surprisingly little known to mainstream tourism. We will travel through beautiful Portuguese landscapes of rolling countryside dotted with cork oak, vineyards and olive groves across to Spain’s remotest region, the Extremadura, with its mountains, forests and lakes.

Decorated 35-15,000 years ago, the caves of Altamira still display some of humankind’s first great artistic achievements. This is a unique chance to view the vivid images of horse, bison and deer that have come to epitomise Palaeolithic art. A visit to this area’s Ice Age caves is a genuine privilege. Where else can you gaze upon masterpieces of such antiquity in situ? Led by experts in rock art, for this tour we have secured special access to a selection of memorable caves and rock art sites. Here, we can view the images precisely where they were created, standing or crouching exactly as the original artists once did.
