For nearly 40 years, Cultour International has been a pioneer in organising local and international performance tours for choirs, bands, orchestras, musicians, and dance groups. As we celebrate 35 years of success under our former name, Cultour Africa, our clients include schools (primary and high schools), universities, colleges, non-professional musicians, and a wide array of artistic groups.
Over the years, we’ve gained invaluable travel wisdom, and we share this with our clients to ensure that their tours are among the most memorable and well-organised experiences of their lives.
Sandra Lake aptly noted, “With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding.” At Cultour International, we understand that each group has its own unique needs – from budget considerations and must-see excursions to cultural exchanges, competition participation, and specific musical requirements. Whether it’s ensuring choir benches are in place, coordinating impromptu performances, or meeting dietary preferences, we handle it all.
For nearly 35 years, Cultour Africa has provided exceptional performance tours across Africa and beyond. As our business grew and clients sought more international opportunities, we continued to evolve and launched Cultour International. This transition underscores our focus on global tours and cultural exchanges while maintaining our commitment to excellence and personalised service.
Now led by Nathalie Struwe, following the esteemed leadership of Marelise Van Rensburg, Cultour International is set to take this legacy to new heights. Nathalie brings a fresh vision for growth and innovation whilst still ensuring that we remain true to our core focus.
Though our name has changed, our dedication to enriching lives through artistic collaboration remains unwavering. Cultour International is now a leading facilitator of music and cultural exchanges, helping groups share their artistry worldwide with the same passion and excellence that defined Cultour Africa.
At Cultour International, we provide a comprehensive service that covers every aspect of your tour, from initial planning to the final performance. Our goal is to ensure that every tour offers a "once in a lifetime" experience, complete with tailored itineraries that suit your budget, musical needs, and personal preferences. We also assist in promoting your performances abroad to maximise your group’s visibility.
Cultural exchanges are at the heart of what we do. The lives and music of our performers are transformed through engagement with new cultures, inspiring fresh artistic expression and building cross-cultural connections. Participants learn from industry professionals, enhancing their skills and contributing to personal artistic growth. Our tours allow musicians to strengthen their CVs and bios, increasing their appeal to collaborators, institutions and audiences.
Our groups perform in a variety of venues, ranging from historical monuments and churches to theatres, halls, courtyards, markets, and gardens. We promote non-professional musical tourism, giving performers the chance to share their love of music and culture with communities across the world.
