From Classical orders to modernist innovations, our art and architecture tours examine many protagonists and periods in the history of civilisations around the world, whether the rich artistic traditions of Japan or the private palaces of Venice.
Explore the most famous and celebrated galleries in the world, such as the Uffizi, Prado and the Hermitage, and study countless lesser known gems on our art tours – and on our architecture tours, learn about great buildings as monuments and dwelling-spaces, as works of engineering as well as works of art, and as vital components in a city’s mythos.

I enjoyed every minute. I was pleased too, that there was time to also explore some of the delightful towns we visited as well as being truly in awe of those wonderful churches and cathedrals. It was very well planned and we covered so much during that memorable week. "

It was not just that Gijs has a deep knowledge of Spanish art, architecture, history and food. We have never previously encountered a tour leader who felt so passionately about his subjects. He was not just lecturing, he was living the experience and made us feel that we were living it too. "
