"and"
"take you through .... and across ...."
or
"take you through .... ,and across ..."
how can you tell when a comma is required?I know that one is required when 'and' connects 2 independent clauses, and one is required when 'and' ends a large list of items, but what is the term for 'and' 's function here? And what comma rule should I follow in such cases?
Thanks

I need the full context, please– not just ellipses.

"the tour will take you through 30 historic monuments and across 300 years of the region's past"
sorry about the brevity earlier.Im trying to write something and am worried about copyscape finding exact sentences at this forum.
Also since the last post, Ive been thinking whether 'through' is not the perfect word after all. Any suggestions?

No commas there.
'Through' may be OK if all the monuments are buildings that the tour enters; 'past' may be used if the monuments are merely viewed from outside or are not buildings. I think that 'to' would be the most useful preposition: it covers all cases.
