cultural tour

Sightseeing with history

A cultural tour is organized travel focused on experiencing the history, traditions, arts, and customs of a place.

Unlike sightseeing that emphasizes natural scenery or recreation, cultural tours visit museums, historical sites, local markets, and communities to provide insight into how people live or lived: We booked a cultural tour of Kyoto's temples and tea houses.
