Art Tours
From the most famous and celebrated galleries in the world, such as the Uffizi, Prado and the Hermitage, to countless lesser known gems, our art history tours examine many protagonists and periods in the history of art and indeed civilization, from Art in Madrid to Art on the Côte D’Azur, Crivelli & Lotto to Bernini & Borromini and from Dark Age Brilliance to Baroque & Rococo. Our award-winning, meticulously-planned small group art history tours visit Europe and the USA. These art history holidays are led by expert lecturers, chosen for their companionability and communication skills as well as their scholarship.

This was probably the best organised and most enjoyable holiday I have experienced.
We appreciated the way the lecturer took time to get to know everyone and deal with questions and particular interests.A good balance between free time, sightseeing and lectures. I particularly enjoyed the chance to see Handel’s birthplace.
