Special Interest 
Gardens Gardens & Horticulture
We have worked with garden clubs and botanic societies arranging some of the finest horticultural programmes in Europe.
If you wish to arrange a programme in the UK we can combine classic properties, such as Great Dixter, Sissinghurst and Kew, with the small private gardens that are not generally open to the public and exclusive visits with Head Gardeners. You may wish your visit to coincide with one of the major garden events such as Chelsea Flower Show or Hampton Court. We have lots of ideas to make your experience an exclusive one!
Our expertise also expands into Europe with programmes such as Kitchen Gardens of France, Villas & Gardens of Tuscany and Fincas & Gardens of Portugal & Madeira.

Religion Religion & Pilgrimage
We have operated tours for many religious denominations and groups, from local church groups to deditcated pilgrimages.
Religious and faith based tours are intricately planned to your brief with unhurried visits to appropriate sites of religious heritage, not forgetting leisure for biblical reflection, and of course, enough time for prayer.
We can liaise with sister churches from around the UK and Europe and include memorable visits such as audiences with the Pope and other significant religious figures.

Choral Orchestral, Choral & Performing Arts
We specialise in tours for orchestras, bands and choral groups as well as opera and symphony associations, societies and clubs.
Your group may have the opportunity to perform in some of the world’s finest cultural capitals, as well as participating in, or simply attending, some of the UK & Europe’s most prestigious music festivals and celebrations.
We’ll start by requesting a biography of your musical group as well as your Choir Director. If you have a CD and detailed repertoire we can then suggest some appropriate venues for concerts. On a practical level we will ensure the safe transportation of all your musical equipment throughout the programme - these are precious items often with sentimental value that should be looked after carefully!
Aviation Aviation
Whether your interest is civil or military, preservation & restoration, warbirds, museums and air shows, we will tailor-make an Aviation tour to include your specialist interest. A tailor made programme will combine visits to locations that will appeal to veterans, enthusiasts and others with an interest in aviation history.
Culture History & Culture
Much of Britain’s heritage that you see today has been restored and preserved by organisations such as English Heritage and the National Trust enabling access to many historic monuments. Together with a wealth of privately owned properties these piece together a tapestry of the social and cultural history of the British Isles over many centuries.
Across Europe too, the preservation of thousands of years of history is on-going enabling visitors to enjoy the likes of Pompeii and the Acropolis alongside many other famous sites, as well as some less well known ‘hidden gems’. Knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic guides will bring the period, the people, the places to life. According to the specific period of history, we can put together an in depth study programme including specialist expert guides and private behind the scene tours.
