Spiekermann Travel

Sheri Leigh

Spiekermann Travel Service, Inc. has the most fascinating scheduled tours to the Middle East. Each trip is led by a scholar who specializes in their field. These trips offer a vast amount of knowledge and insight, each different and focused, on the specialties of the host. 

The diversity of Syria, Jordan and Lebanon is led by Barbara A. Potter who lived in Lebanon during the 1960’s and was an assistant curator of The Metropolitan Museum in Ancient Near East and Egyptian art.

A fantastic tour to Iran is scheduled for October, guided by Prof. Denise Schmandt-Besserat a professor of Art and Middle Eastern Studies. This trip is one of a small handful that visit Persia and promises to be a fascinating experience. 

It is the level of expertise that Spiekermann Travel brings to the planning and execution of their trips that make them so special. A 50 year history of serving travelers, with a specialization in the Middle East for the last 30 years, makes Spiekermann a leader in this field.

In addition to their scheduled tours they offer ready made tours that are locally organized group departures. Usually consisting of less than 10 passengers, these tours allow you to add few days or week of guided traveled to individual travel plans. Land only arrangements or a specialized tour can be created for individuals.

If you want top notch educator led trips, this is a fantastic choice.
