Over 40 years of innovation and excellence

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. — Marcel Proust

Join an ASA cultural tour for a
fresh vision of the world.

Learn about places you have always longed to visit 
or see your favourites with new eyes. Feed your imagination with new sights and knowledge, and delight in the company of like-minded travellers.

All ASA Cultural tours are founded on the belief that learning involves both imagination and experience, alongside gathering information. Our tours are designed to provide insights into different cultural traditions by visiting the places where they developed, and exploring how climate, geography, demography, and politics shape art and culture. Experiencing various landscapes, environments, and communities is key to understanding and appreciating these diverse cultures.

Meet our Expert Leaders

ASA Cultural Tours has grown to include a dedicated team of expert leaders, lecturers, and local hosts in 45 countries, ensuring each tour is an enhanced experience. Over the many years our community of regular travellers have enjoyed ASA’s approach to understanding the world and we look forward to new explorers joining our unique programs.
