Expert-led cultural tours in September
A wonderous month of harvests and ripening, mellow and temperate in more southern climes. It is neither too hot, nor too cold and we get into full swing with a large choice of expert-led tours in Europe, on the Mediterranean and further afield, whether in Scotland, Sicily or Samarkand. The summer holidays are over and much pleasurable cultural travel beckons for enrichment and enjoyment ahead of winter.

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.
