Wonderful music and a very luxurious holiday.
We spent a week in Thuringia steeped in the music of Bach. We enjoyed nine concerts in a week. They were all top quality, with top class musicians. The accommodation was very classy and comfortable, and we were fed within an inch of our lives!

The musicians all gave deeply felt and moving performances, with a sense of re...

Excellent experience sampling the Frances route to Santiago de Compostela
The 12 day walking tour covered the Frances El Camino route from Roncevalles to Santiago de Compostela. In order to sample the entire route, we walked more than 150 km of the 787 km route and travelled by bus for the remainder.
