CICERONI Travel Traveller Reviews

A brilliant analysis of the early Paintings,frescoes and architecture in Florence by Paula Nuttall. A great way to observe in detail the paintings and learn about what they meant to people at the time and the techniques in making them.Plus informatyion on the history of the time. Tour assisted by husband Geoff who dealt with the details of all the visits to the churches and museums. Excellent hotel accomodation and breakfast and so convenient. All the places we visited were good and relevant. I would recommend this tour to any Art lover.

Everything went very smoothly including arranging extra days to stay on in the hotel and flight home. Very clear brochure about what we were going to do each day and we did. This was our first time with Ciceroni and it was excellent ,most enjoyable.

Visited museums, galleries and churches in Florence, connected with the early Medici family. Expertly guided by Paula and Geoffrey Nuttall. Weather hot and sunny. Stayed at Hotel degli Orafi. Beautiful 4* Hotel near the Ponte Vecchio. I will always remember this holiday and want to go back to Florence as soon as possible.

Ciceroni Travel arranged everything most efficiently, and I am in the process of booking another holiday with them for 2016.

Tom Duncan, itinerary, hotels, courier, travel arrangements all excellent. Local guides variable, mainly because of poor english. Too much food!

Tom Duncan is extremely erudite, articulate and witty.

A memorable visit to new places,excellent organisation,great hotels and group meals in superb settings

Well organised,very personal service where one is a person,not a number

Ciicceroni's educational tour of Castile and classical Spain was meticulously organised and professiionally delivered. Our first experience of the company and already we have booked our next (different) destination for June/July 2016. A congenial group of 24 participants added to our enjoyment of the holiday. The accommodation and food were of an unexpectedly high standard.

Seamless efficiency from departure to return

We were taken to many fascinating places in the north of Spain with brilliant commentary as to the various sights, the history relating to them and the area as well as the various objects de Arte

The operator is an extremely well qualified expert on matters of art, architecture, archeology and history. The knowledge is coupled with a very high standard of explanation which Iis delivered in an entertaining style.

Fully comprehensive tour of Castile and Leon staying in wonderful historic venues with fascinating visits to castles, cathedrals, churches, art collections and historic Roman sites. We were escorted by our team organiser and tour manager together with excellent local guides. The food was diverse and delicious and very much of the region we were in.

This is our sixth excellent holiday with Ciceroni Tours. We have enjoyed every one and we found this tour to be outstanding.

A wonderful and informative exposure to the history, art and culture of Spain. Much ground was covered but in a way that balanced a wide range of towns cathedrals, churches, castles, with their respective points of interest, relaxed dining, and a measure of free time. All thanks and compliments go to Tom Duncan, who led the tour the with his customary brilliance of knowledge and wit, and his assistant David Sketchley.

Extremely efficient in making arrangements for travel which involve variations from the standard. Nothing is too much trouble at the office and on tour. Never a hitch.

This was a fascinating trip with wonderful architecture, superb food and historical information

The tour operator is special, one is very well looked after and hotels, food and the content of the tour are exceptional. Everything is organized with great efficiency and the quality of the lectures is superb.

A short visit to see the imperial splendour of the Mosaics of Ravenna, together with the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza.

An excellent introduction to my travel experience with Ciceroni
