Where to go for every month of the year

Years of meticulous research and constant honing of our 150+ itineraries means that our small group cultural tours, music festivals and cruises take place at optimal times of year. We venture to extraordinary locations at quieter times, walking carefully planned paths. Indeed, many of our itineraries offer privileged and private access to the world’s greatest galleries, museums and otherwise shuttered palazzi, offering guaranteed tranquility.

Our expert speakers and engagement with the field shape our programme. We venture to both well-known and private gardens at their most beautiful, attend world-class musical programmes in prestigious venues and celebrate anniversaries, like those of Monet, Vanbrugh and Gaudí on perfectly-timed tours.

Each month reveals an itinerary with a sense of purpose and place – from cherry blossoms in Japan, to the more palatable climes of India in November. View our tours month-by-month, below.

Why travel with us?

Leading expertise

Since 1988 we have been the most influential organisation in the field of cultural travel. Our expert speakers are a key ingredient in our tours. Academics, curators and researchers, they are selected not only for their knowledge but also for their ability to communicate clearly and engagingly to a lay audience.

Privileged access

Special arrangements are a feature of our tours – for admission to places not generally open to travellers, for access outside public hours, for private concerts and extraordinary events. In innumerable ways, we lift our clients’ experience far above standards which are regarded as normal for tourists.

Small groups

Most of our tours run with between 10 and 20 participants. Our travellers are self-selected by common interests and an endorsement of our ethos, and you are highly likely to find yourself among link-minded companions.

Value for money

The price includes nearly everything, not only the major ingredients such as hotel, the costs of the lecturer and manager but also tips and drinks with meals. You can secure your booking today with a 15% deposit. We provide full financial protection for our package holidays.
