"This was my first MRT tour and I was blown away by the brilliant execution. Immediately following completion of the tour, which I did alone, I registered my wife and me for the same tour next Spring. Thank you for the best nine days of my life."
Cultural tours in the United Kingdom
Every self-respecting flâneur finds time for champagne at the Savoy and that is precisely what we do on our one-day tour of the backstreets of London, just one of our small-group cultural itineraries of the United Kingdom that offer fresh perspectives on familiar places and faces.
As featured in:
Exploring the United Kingdom on a cultural tour
The capital features prominently as we follow traces of Shakespeare, admire the legacies of Hawksmoor and John Nash, explore the treasures of the great museums and delve into the history of the London Underground. We also examine the industrial history of Yorkshire and Lancashire, follow the Venerable Bede between Durham and Lindisfarne, visit the historic houses of the Welsh Borders, walk Cornwall’s ancient landscapes and go on a poetic pilgrimage in the Lake District.
Our expert lecturers - including Dr Hugh Doherty, Anthony Lambert and Janet Sinclair - are of the highest calibre and we enjoy privileged access to many sites, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, as well as offering unusual accommodation and meal venues. It may be home but not quite as you have known it.
Cultural tours in England
Expert lecturers and privileged access create an unrivalled sense of depth and perspicacity. Whether we’re exploring Chatsworth in the Peak District, celebrating the life and work of JMW Turner or enjoying a private choral recital in a Cotswolds church.
Cultural tours in Scotland
Our experts and their fresh perspectives allow insight into this country’s unrivalled cultural and natural richness. Names rich in history—Culloden, Balmoral, and Eilean Donan— all feature.
