Andante Travels has announced the introduction of a New York office to support the considerable increase in US passengers and interest.

Now in their 30th year, Andante Travels is one of the UK's leading specialist tour operators. Founded and run by archaeologists, the company provides tailor-made tours to thousands of passengers to over 120 destinations worldwide. They introduce guests to the wonders of the ancient world, leading them on classical journeys from the marble columns of Greece and Rome to the jungles of Belize and Guatemala.

All Andante Travels tours are conceived, planned and led by articulate experts; including archaeologists, historians, writers and broadcasters, and feature hand-picked hotels, great food, and even better company. In recent years this winning combination has become hugely popular in the States and interest continues to grow.

Ian Finlay, CEO of Andante Travels said: “We're excited to announce that Andante Travels is expanding this year into a new office in New York. From our US base, we will offer our US customers the same personal, award-winning service that we pride ourselves on providing in the UK.”

Over the last two years Andante Travels has enjoyed an 87% increase in US passengers and 152% more enquiries from the States. They have actively been tailoring tours to meet this increased demand: offering longer trips, special access and flights from US airports. They have also started working with numerous prestigious US universities and institutions offering specialist tours to their alumni and members.

Finlay continued: “The increased interest that we have received from the US over the last two years really highlights the universal and enduring appeal of great historical sites. We look forward to introducing even more people to the wonders of the Ancient World in the years to come!”
