English HeritageWorking in partnership with English Heritage, ACE has developed The English Heritage Travel Collection, a series of historical tours around the British Isles, often featuring privileged visits and private hospitality, from Victorian afternoon tea at Osborne House to exclusive access to the stone circle at Stonehenge. The themes of our tours range from World War II espionage to the architecture of Derbyshire. For full details click here.

Cultural Cruises
Drawing on 50 years of expertise, ACE has created an exclusive portfolio of cultural cruises to Libya, Tunisia, the Galapagos, Greece, Turkey, the Nile, Provence and Scotland. Each cruise offers a delightful blend of cultural visits and explanatory talks. And the modest size of our boats - we never carry more than 40 passengers - means that participants can enjoy all the intimacy of small cruise sailing. For full details please

Tour LeadersACE's tours and cruises are led by specialist and experienced course directors (lecturers) who are chosen for their individual expertise, their ability to communicate and the pleasure they take in their subjects. In 2009 we welcome Meet the Ancestors' presenter Julian Richards to the ACE team.
