FAQ
01 How are Classical Pursuits tours different from other cultural tours?
02 Who's a typical traveller?
03 Do you have a lot of solo travellers?
Yes! We regularly welcome solo travellers on our tours. Tours are a mix of solo travellers, couples and friends. For almost all independent meals, your leader invites anyone who would like to eat together to meet in a local restaurant.
04 How large are the groups?
Groups range from 12 to 18 travellers.
05 How much free time do we have?
We try keep things flexible and plan an unscheduled morning, afternoon, or evening each day. Participants are free to go off on their own or in small groups at their leisure.
06 Will I feel like I'm in school?
No, and that’s a good thing!
We seek a deeper understanding of the books and art we are studying, and their connection to the place. Discussions are collaborative, and we build on each other’s ideas. The main role of the leader is to ask questions to get you thinking. We do ask you to complete the reading in advance, but this is for your personal enrichment and pleasure. One some trips, seminar discussions include presentations by the leader or local guide to provide richer context.
