OUR EXPERIENCES
We offer a series of walking and minibus tours, and are also available for private and bespoke tours. All of our tours are led by professional archaeologists who give you an insight into the past that is different from regular history tours. We highlight local excavations and give you an understanding of how the area you are touring developed during both prehistoric and historical times. We guide you through the archaeological skills used to identify and record heritage sites, giving you the opportunity to ‘have a go’.

With ancient maps, photos of excavations, and gems of information, our tours offer something different and guarantee that you will be leaving with a lot more than you started with. By taking part you will directly support local Heritage Societies and Trusts whose sites and activities will be front and centre of your experience, taking you further than a traditional tour ever could.

As a not-for-profit organisation, your support will also feed back into our community outreach and educational programmes, helping more people to learn new skills and engage with archeological sites and their local heritage.
