Tours for small groups

Our small group tours are all accompanied by an expert lecturer, with twenty-two participants or fewer. There are now around two hundred small group holidays a year in nearly forty countries.

Our specialist itineraries are meticulously planned and rooted in knowledge of the destination and of the subject matter. All maintain a cultural focus – art, architecture, archaeology, gardens, literature, music, history, geology, gastronomy, even our walking tours.

" This was a delightful itinerary. The hotel was beautiful, in a great location with views of the sea yet an easy walk to the train station. The hotel staff could not have been more welcoming. " The Ligurian Coast - Arts, history and scenery on the Riviera di Levante

" Andreas was the star of the week. His knowledge was unsurpassed, expressed with lucidity, humour and with just the right length. He never tired at any questions and we particularly enjoyed him bringing political matters up to date in such a sensitive way. " The Hanseatic League - Cities and abbeys of Germany’s Baltic Coast

" Stimulating! I enjoyed the variety of locations, found the tour manager excellent and the tour leader extremely knowledgeable. I enjoyed seeing Aragón – a part of Spain I had not seen before. " Aragón: Hidden Spain - Teruel, Zaragoza, Sos

" The music was spectacular – an amazing experience. " Verona Opera - lyric spectacle in the Veneto

" The lecturer's humour and relaxed manner, his beautifully clear enunciation and passion and knowledge of Titian and the other medieval and renaissance painters made it a real pleasure to absorb so much history, politics and art and architectural knowledge. " The Venetian Hills - Renaissance art in the foothills of the Dolomites
