About Me

Imagine heading off, basket in hand, down the cobbled street to a small market in a square in Provence, surrounded by vibrant colours and mouth-watering smells. You fill your basket with an array of fresh produce to prepare for a meal later that day at your cooking class. Perhaps you are climbing out of a trench of an archaeological dig site in Cyprus, tired but happy that you have just discovered a small coin from another time. You could be carrying your musical instrument through the deep snow as you head towards the inviting entrance of a centuries-old monastery, where you are about to perform with some of the finest young musicians from Vienna. Maybe you have just stepped off a vaporetto on the Grand Canal in Venice as you make your way through the Giardini to see a collection of the most amazing artwork at the International Biennale, or you have just collapsed with satisfied exhaustion on the banks of Switzerland's Rhine River, after kayaking through the impressive gorge. At the end of the day you sit down with your friends and eat a wonderful meal of the freshest food. You fall into to bed in your villa or chateau or barn and think to yourself that life is good…Come on a Pomegranate Tour!!!! Pomegranate Tours also design and lead inspiring tours for schools. Students are immersed in rich cultural experience, both historical and contemporary. We aim to stimulate curiosity, encourage creativity and develop practical skills. Our expert attention to quality and safety in all aspects of travel make our tours both memorable and engaging. We specialise in tour management and with the help of local guides in each destination, leave teachers and students alike free to enjoy the fruits of a well planned, unique journey.e: [email protected] t: +61-2-6651-1993
