The Dalmatian Coast by Stickleback, 30 Sep 2014
Holiday Rating:

Interesting look at the Balkans

Seeing Montenegro and Croatia for the first time made one realise what a politically difficult part of the world the Balkans are. Also how poor they are and how important Tourism is to their economy.

Christmas in St Petersburg by Sue and Denis, 30 Sep 2014

TheRomanovs: Petersburg and the Arts

Extremely informative and well run holiday, often in difficult circumstances. Uniquely expertly guided by Tom Duncan, we feel nobody could do it better.

Rating for tour operator:

Ciceroni were very helpful and very efficient. An excellent selection of treasures to visit, well organised. Knowledgeable assistance from the pleasant local guide, who spoke excellent English.

Christmas in St Petersburg by Richard Fox, 30 Sep 2014
Holiday Rating:

wonderfully uplifting

Our guide paced our holiday with enormous care so that we covered the great treasures of St Petersburg over six days without ever feeling too tired or overwhelmed. We visited the Hermitage on three separate occasions rather than spending 8 hours in one day getting exhausted. Two guides shared the load and this also helped, one broadly covering Russian and the other non-Russian art. our visits to palaces allowed lots of time to visit pavilions ...

We visited the Hermitage on three separate occasions rather than spending 8 hours in one day getting exhausted. Two guides shared the load and this also helped, one broadly covering Russian and the other non-Russian art. our visits to palaces allowed lots of time to visit pavilions and parks; this included changes of plan to include rarely open places which showed that our trip was not mass produced.

Treasures of the Tweed Valley by ElizaL, 4 Aug 2014
Holiday Rating:

A Scottish Surprise: Treasure Houses of the Tweed Valley really lived up to its promise, and could not have been bettered.

As always, on Ciceroni tours, we were given excellent expert guidance - many to privately-owned art collections - as we explored the estates of the Tweed Valley. Learning was informed with wit while paintigs, sculpture, furniture and porcelain were seen not only in the contexts of rooms, but of whole estates. The genealogy of the noble families whose possessions were were allowed to see provided interesting and vital historical backgrounds ...

Rating for tour operator:

Ciceroni Tours have provided me with delightful, relaxing and informative holidays both at home and abroad for many years now. The groups are small and the company both when travelling together and when relaxing over good food and well=chosen wines is congenial. In particular, Tom Duncan is a toue operator whom one soon comes to count as a valued friend.

Treasures of the Tweed Valley by Tugwell, 30 Jul 2014
Holiday Rating:

Excellent on content and superb visits, all very informative and planning through out the days perfect.

The sun shone , the travel by air controlled coach was very comfortable The expertise of the leader was brilliant and fellow travellers added their knowledge to add to the holiday. My hotel room was very comfortable and we ate very well. My only worry was it was to condensed and we were all very weary at the end!!
