In each of these areas we have developed wonderful garden tour itineraries for small groups and for individuals:

The garden tours for small groups have set departure dates throughout the year. Up to 14 people travel by small luxury coach, visit gardens and villas with a local guide, and stay at excellent four or five star hotels.

If you prefer to travel as an individual, we have created itineraries which combe a luxurious holiday in one of our hand-picked hotels with visits to formal and informal gardens. Please note that certain times of the year may be better than others in the respective regions and the need also to allow for times when the gardens may be open.
