We couldn’t get you a time machine. But this? This is the next best thing. Over 10 days, you’ll uncover three of our planet’s most renowned ancient civilisations. Zipping through the skies from one historical spot to another - you’ll see the ruins of the Roman empire. The mighty buildings of the Greek world. And of course, the magnificent Pyramids of Giza (all with local guides!). Trust us, your bucket list is gonna love this one.
