GeoCultura offers trips that explore the world's most important landscapes and geology while hearing stories linking them to local history.
They are led by earth scientists working together with local historians and regional tourist guides.
The aim is to immerse participants in the local culture and its origins as well as enjoying the local cuisine.
GeoCultura tours range from three nights and four days to eight nights and nine days.
The company is led by Rob Knipe, an Emeritus Professor at The School of Earth and Environment, Leeds University.
Rob has published more than 150 scientific papers, supervised more than 30 PhDs and has been awarded honours from the Geological Society of London, including the President's Award, the Wollaston Fund and the William Smith Medal.
He is now involved in promoting and planning the Energy Transition and geological aspects of Carbon Sequestration, as well as enhancing awareness of the historical impact and future role of the Earth Sciences.
