Make Your Return To Travel A Memorable One

The team here at Andante Travels is getting restless and we imagine you probably are, too. It has been so long since we were able to pack a bag, board a plane and explore somewhere new, but now that the vaccination programme has begun we are starting to feel a little more optimistic about taking a trip. 

If, like us, you want to make up for lost time when you're next able to travel, why not treat yourself to a multi-center tour that will allow you to visit two or more countries on the same vacation?

Don't worry, our itineraries for these tours have been designed so that you can maximize your time in each destination – you'll never feel rushed or as if you're simply ticking sites off a check-list. There will be ample time to discover the archaeology, culture and history of each place you visit, all in the company of our esteemed Guide Lecturers. 

So, where can you visit as part of the same tour? We've rounded up our twin- and multi-center tours for you here, so that you can see what's on offer for the year ahead. Don't forget, we currently have free transfers and cancelations on all 2021 bookings, meaning that if you change your mind about traveling or want to switch to either a different departure or an entirely different tour, you can – completely free of charge and up to eight weeks before departure.
