Venice for Connoisseurs Traveller Reviews

Our visit to Venice was an unqualified triumph in terms of scholarly quality, interest, balance and pleasure.

Our tour operator 'Ciceroni Travel' characteristically lived up to its unrivalled position, that of being the finest in the UK. It was extremely impressive in every sphere.

Our Venice holiday was a wonderful mix of churches, palaces, art and history in a beautiful hotel. It could not have been better!

Very efficient, I could not fault them

Every holiday with Ciceroni is an amazing experience. Every detail is immaculately organised and the other travellers are always very congenial. Tom and James always include private visits to the most popular sites and visits to private palaces, etc. not normally open to the public. I have travelled with them on many occasions and never been disappointed.

My previous comments say it all!

Cicero i take great care of each and every traveller. Nothing is too much trouble. We were able to visit certain places which are not open to the general public. As an elderly woman traveling alone it is very comforting to be so beautifully cared for.

Ciceroni is the finest company I have traveled with. One is safe, comfortable and made to feel more than welcome. Every detail is well thought out. A huge amount of preparation has clearly taken place before the public set off.

Packed full of very interesting visits including some not available to other tour operators. Our guides, Tom and James, were and are quite exceptional. Must mention that the group were the tops!

Ciceroni are consistently the very best.

a 'Culture vulture' holiday led by Tom Duncan an art historian who imparts his knowledge with vim, humour and obvious pleasure - both his and his listeners.

As above, Tom Duncan's company Ciceroni is run on oiled wheels - this was my 15th trip with Ciceroni, which speaks for itself. I am already booked on two more trips with Ciceroni this year. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A visit to a private palazzo given by its owner, some unusual churches and smart art galleries for the connoisseur all made this trip rather special.

A well organized trip, a good hotel on the Grand Canal, one could relax in the knowledge that one was well cared for.

We visited several places not usually open to the public, which was very interesting. One of the many highlights was a private visit to St. Mark's, something we'll never forget. The organisation was perfect, the hotel excellent.

Ciceroni is a tour company specialising in taking small groups to interesting places. We have been on many of their tours, which are well run and you always feel in safe hands.

Extremely well organised with excellent visits- some to private palaces and excellent meals.

We have travelled with Ciceroni on Art tours on many occasions over a number of years and have always found them of the highest quality.

Venice as it should be enjoyed-five days spent enjoying a varied and carefully chosen itinerary of events which flowed seamlessly, making history,art and architecture fun.

This holiday was exceptional-after only five days we came away feeling totally at home in Venice having enjoyed such a varied program. It was particularly special to experience the visits to Palazzos which were opened for us by special arrangement and to discuss with owners the difficulties of conservation and management. Ciceroni Travel seem to love organizing the holidays as much their clients enjoy experiencing the holidays. It is a privilege to be part of this group.
