2011 Southern USA Tour with Robert Veel

“Wonderful variety and contrast in a trip that gave me a whole new perspective on the USA”

“Fabulous – right blend of seriousness and fun”

“The quintessential ADFAS tour”

“Travelling for 16 days with ADFAS Travel from Charleston to Santa Fe, via Savannah, New Orleans and Dallas, has given me a feast of history, art, and a sense of place to better appreciate the USA”

“Awesome – I’m coming back again, definitely”

 “This tour had everything – music, literature, architecture, art, culture and history – from the native indians to JFK…..”

ADFAS Travel tour to Sicily and the Aeolian Islands 2011 with Edward Saunders

 “I would certainly travel with Academy again and the ADFAS element meant that from the start the group had something in common.We all mixed together well and there was lots of fun and laughter.  Edward’s thoughtful talks and illustrations and commentary on site were invaluable. He was also very good fun.

We have participated in three overseas ADFAS tours with tour leaders who are experts in their field to guide us through the finest museums, art galleries and opera houses.We travelled with people who shared a similar interest, and all aspects of the tours expertly managed with excellent accommodation. A wonderful experience of history, landscape, art, music and people of other cultures and civilisations.

Not to be missed!”

Jane Fraser, a freelance travel writer recently returned from this year’s trip to Sicily with Edward Saunders.  You may like to read her article on the trip which was published in The Australian on 21 May 2011.  In writing to give her permission for us to use her article she said ‘I think we will stick to ADFAS trips as they are SO well planned! Just our cup of tea!’. 

ADFAS Travel tour to Romania and Bulgaria

"A wonderful opportunity to experience these two countries which throughout history were the tenacious
buffer on the edge of western civilisation.  Beautiful landscapes and picturesque villages and towns"

ADFAS Travel tour to Syria and Jordan with Sue Rollin

"In April and May this year I was part of the ADFAS tour to Jordan and Syria, which was superbly organised. Our NADFAS tour leader Sue Rollin was highly professional with an exceptional depth of knowledge."

"The people of Jordan and Syria were friendly, generous and hospitable. We were treated to an astonishing array of food which reflected the innate generosity of the people of the Middle East."

"An absolutely fabulous trip through the cradle of civilization, with a cohesive group of travellers led by the incredibly knowledgeable Sue Rollin."
