Our Story
Founded in 1983, Far Horizons specializes in upscale and educational small group travel throughout the world to gain in-depth knowledge of archaeology and living cultures.
Far Horizons History
Founded by a Maya archaeologist in 1982, Far Horizons Archaeological and Cultural Trips designs tours in countries that have a significant archaeological and indigenous heritage. We specialize in personal contacts and scholarly depth to allow our participants to gain a deeper knowledge of both past and living cultures. All our trips have an archaeological, historical, and/or cultural emphasis. We frequently design itineraries with a theme such as The Crusades which traverses several countries. In each of them, we include truly extraordinary experiences.
As a tour company that benefits from the cultural and natural riches of our destinations, we have a policy of donating to the archaeological projects and museums we visit. This has created a bond with the academic community that has helped us establish an extensive list of lecturers and contacts at each of our destinations. Because of our excellent relationships with scientists throughout the world, we are able to design trips that are truly unique.
CUSTOM TRAVEL, TOO!
Though Far Horizons offers remarkable tours and group travel, sometimes you are looking an exclusive private trip. Years of experience, proven logistical capabilities, and exceptional knowledge of the most remote areas and cultures makes Far Horizons the ideal company to assist you in your journey. Our contacts among the peoples of our destinations, and the scientists that work in each of them, make each of our unique trips a very special and exciting experience!
Whether it's your own private yacht charter along the remote coast of Turkey, a private tour of Easter Island, becoming familiar with the delights of Laos or Vietnam, finally seeing Jordan's Petra, witnessing the spectacle of Persepolis in Iran, going back to Guatemala because you never made it to Tikal, or exploring Syria's stunning Palmyra, we can arrange just about anything for you - and we are very creative. The world is truly your oyster. And, we are here to crack it open for you!
Please call and let us create a memorable journey that will satisfy your wanderlust!
