I'd like to go on a tour with an archaeological theme, led by a historical specialist. Does anyone have any recommendations on reputable companies who actually take the cultural content seriously?

I'm not sure if it's permissible to recommend commercial conmapies on the board, and I haven't actually used them myself, but I've been tempted by Andante.

Thanks. I'll look them up. I had a feeling they just did Mayan and Aztec. I'm most keen on finding a trip that focuses on Alexander the Great, but I haven't been able to find anything that doesn't just use his name as a badge for a holiday that has very little to do with him.

Alexander was a rather peripathetic chap so I wouldn't recommend a trip based on his rambles without allowing for a really long holiday.
Having said that there a several tour operators who will offer you potted versions, some less interested in or knowledgeable about archaeology than perhaps they should be. Peter Sommer, the TV presenter/archaeologist, runs one of the better ones, completely within Turkey.

Wow. Thanks so much for this. This tour looks just the kind of thing I was looking for.
Has anyone had any experience with Peter Sommer Travels before - ? I've never heard of them. I like their website but always prefer a personal recommendation if at all possible.
Thanks.
