ASA tours visit numerous countries around the world, exploring a varied range of themes from art, design, tapestry, architecture, gardens, literature, music and the interweavement and evolution of regional or national cultures over many centuries.

What all tours share is a belief that learning is as much an act of imagination and experience as a garnering of information, and an assumption that an intimate relationship exists between geography, history and culture.

ASA tours seek to give tour participants unique insights into different artistic and cultural traditions by travelling to the places where each tradition evolved, and tracing how climate, geography, demography and politics interact to create specific types of art and culture.

The physical experience of different landscapes, environments and peoples with their myriad colours and scents is the first step to understanding different cultures. ASA tours ask their participants to go a step further and use the present in combination with artefacts from the past to imagine the march of history or the context of a particular artistic genre.

By travelling within specific countries or regions through varied urban and rural landscapes, many tours trace the routes of trade, demographic movement, and cultural exchange thus giving tour participants the opportunity to become part of the drama themselves.
