Expert-led cultural tours in April
One of the loveliest times of the year to travel, our April tours celebrate the joys of spring: we see Cornish gardens in full bloom, visit the most beautiful gardens in the Veneto, experience Japan’s sublime cherry blossom season and sample the most delicious seasonal cuisine of Provence. Other highlights include the varied landscape and rich provinces along the Duero River, the glorious hills and countryside around Siena and the wonders of the Early Christian world along the Adriatic from Ravenna to Croatia, including private visits to San Vitale, Ravenna’s finest church, and to Galla Placidia, with its magnificent mosaics.

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.
