Cultural tours in the USA
Our tours of the United States cover a vast canvas of art, architecture and landscape, from Central Park to The Alamo; from Modernist masterpieces to Mississippi slave huts; from El Greco in Toledo to Frank Lloyd Wright. We do justice to some of the world’s finest galleries and collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and The Chicago Art Institute, and go hunting for petroglyphs in the deserts of the Southwest. We stay in one of the world’s first skyscrapers, and visit the tenement homes of early immigrants.
The key to this ambitious portfolio of itineraries lies in the peerless expertise of our lecturers including Professor Harry Charrington and Gijs van Hensbergen, the privileged access we command (private views and after-hours visits abound) and thoughtful planning – when else would you expect to visit New Orleans but during Jazz Fest? From antiquity to Twombly, America is yours to discover with MRT.

So much to choose from – we saw most of the main Minoan sites and others of interest. My aim was to be “educated” in the Minoan and I feel I was. "
