The world has a wealth of history waiting to be explored and the best way to uncover it is first-hand. From unrecorded times to the events of yesterday, you’ll find each country brimming with an exciting and inspiring past. Where better to learn about the ancient Greeks than on a cruise of the Greek islands? How better to interpret religious texts than by visiting holy sites with members of the religions that revere them? When your wanderlust and quest for knowledge are one and the same, these trips are your living history lessons.

Get up close to the pyramids, temples and the Nile in Egypt

Egypt may not be the first destination that comes to mind when you plan to party and travel, but just wait until you experience a felucca cruise along the Nile. The best way to travel solo in Egypt is by joining a trip, and this 10-day option takes out all the hassle, leaving you free to socialise. Start by visiting the pyramids of Giza, before travelling south to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. From here you’ll board your Nile cruise ship for a multi-day voyage upriver to Aswan, where you’ll have a cocktail party as the sun sets over the country.

Gabriella Clare Marino Pantheon of Rome, Italy

Visit Rome's ancient attractions in Italy

This nine-day tour of Northern Italy starts in the capital, Rome, where we’ll fast-track past the crowds to the Colosseum, tuck into authentic food at a local lunch spot and seek out the best of the city’s baroque architecture. From here we’ll take a high-speed train north – for art and history in Florence, and a taste of the Tuscan countryside between Siena and San Gimignano. We’ll jump back on the high-speed line to Bologna and Emilia-Romagna for two days stuffed with gourmet foodie experiences, before zipping into Milan – for designer shops, jaw-dropping architecture and a day-long train excursion to Lake Como.
