Rembrandt Velazquez: Dutch and Spanish Masters.

A very well thought out cultural visit giving a powerful insight into the art scene of the first half of the 17th century.

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled with Ciceroni a number of times on selected trips and they have never failed to provide a long lasting memorable experience. Scholarship and detailed preparation are their successful key.

Dutch Cultural Immersion

The visit was primarily to go to the Rembrant/Velasquez Exhibition, but included the pleasure of a Canal Tour, a welcoming hotel, some excellent restaurant experiences, good coach travel and some typical Dutch wet weather!

A superior operator with access to areas not always seen by the general public. Most efficient in all areas of its operation at a high academic level.

Exploring Ulster by SK East, 18 Dec 2019
Holiday Rating:

Unique insight into Northern Ireland

A few days in Belfast, followed by a stay at Belle Isle, visiting stunning historic houses and gardens, one with privileged access to properties and their owners. Fascinating lectures by Tom Duncan, who really understand Irish history. Interesting and congenial fellow travellers.

Everything was planned with consummate care to ensure we never wasted a moment but didn't feel rushed.

Connoisseurs' Versailles by The Dandy Don, 6 Dec 2019
Holiday Rating:

Terrific access to Versailles Palace in the company of experts

We have had more than one holiday with Ciceroni and they are a joy. You visit interesting places (usually with specialy access) with an interesting mix of people and the accomodation and food is pretty good too. The Ciceroni manager makes you feel very welcome and the expert helps bring it all to life. It is unusual when on a holiday trip to have a great time AND learn a lot!

Very well run business - tour managers are friendly, helpful and on top of any issues. To get a world expert to accompany the group is amazing.

Connoisseurs' Versailles by RBS, 5 Dec 2019
Holiday Rating:

Extremely interesting and well conducted

This was with Ciceroni to Versailles where we had privileged access on both a private and two public days - but then to places not normally open to the public - all conducted by the Curator and his staff. This visit was led by Dame Rosalind Savill who imparted her distinguished scholarship and research also. All in all a most interesting and enjoyable holiday.

Venice for Connoisseurs by AB, 29 Nov 2019
Holiday Rating:

Record Acqua Alta in Venice

When I booked for a November Venice holiday I realised it might be wet or foggy but I had not anticipated the highest water level for 50 years. The experience was interesting and one advantage was an absence of other tourists. Some sites were closed especially St Mark’s and Torcello cathedral but a lot was open and I was amazed at how well hotels, shops etc were coping.

Rating for tour operator:

I was most impressed with the way in which the tour manager obtained waterproof boots for all members of the group, discovered which sites were open and rearranged visits accordingly, found which restaurants were open and remained helpful, kind and patient throughout. Despite the difficult circumstances, an excellent holiday.
