Private cultural tours for you and your companions

For nearly four decades we have created private cultural journeys alongside our main programme of expert-led tours. Any of our tours can be arranged as a private departure for you and your own party, whether that is a group of friends, an extended family or a few couples who like to travel together. We can also design an entirely new itinerary around your interests.

Every detail is taken care of: hotels chosen for character and location, transfers, special access and an expert lecturer to bring each place to life. Everything is planned and run to the same standard as our main programme.

From the first conversation to the final day, our team looks after you. You travel at your own pace, with your own company, and we take care of everything else.

Our itineraries, tailored to your group

From 10 people · your dates, your itinerary

Choose any of our 200+ tours as your starting point, or work with us to build something entirely new. Travel on dates that suit you, with hotels and other arrangements carefully selected and managed by our team. This works for family milestones, university alumni trips, art society tours or simply a group of like-minded travellers.
