Cultural Tours, Cruises and Holidays

ACE CULTURAL TOURS runs tours and cruises in the United Kingdom, Europe and across the globe. Founded in 1958 as ACE Study Tours, ACE pioneers over 150 escorted programmes every year, from one-day courses to extended study tours and cultural cruises. ACE's itineraries cover every aspect of the arts - music, fine art, the theatre - as well as architecture, archaeology, history, gastronomy and the natural world. ACE's tours and cruises inform, educate and entertain in equal measure with a blend of cultural sight-seeing and explanatory talks - and all under the guidance of a stimulating course director. ACE's courses are characterised by their originality and diversity, and many feature exclusive visits, privileged access and private concerts.

Cultural Cruises In 2010 ACE's small ship cruises - for between 15 and 40 participants - will visit Egypt, Provence, Greece and Turkey. We will also cruise around the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and take a trip along the Thames. The modest size of ACE's boats means that we are able to navigate shallow waters, visit secluded bays and moor at quays inaccessible to larger vessels. For full details, click here. English Heritage Working in partnership with English Heritage, ACE has developed an exclusive anthology of nearly 30 tours and cruises for 2010, with themes ranging from The Wild Man of The Woods to Roman Towns, Forts and Frescoes.
