Northumbria Illuminated Traveller Reviews

Our trip in Northumbria with Ciceroni was a marvellous experience. The itineraries each day were well chosen and well balanced preceded by interesting lectures about the content for the day.Tom Duncan is a brilliant and engaging tour leader and his knowledge is amazing.He ensured that every person in the group was well informed about the day,s programme and was extremely well looked after at all times. I look forward to our next trip with Ciceroni.We have made friends with many of our fellow travellers on the tour and experienced a very enjoyable, interesting and happy time

Tom Duncan at Ciceroni is a very well informed, engaging and friendly tour leader. He imparted a huge amount of detail each day in a lively way. The Ciceroni team members are extremely helpful organising the trip and nothing is too much trouble.We travel from Australia each year to join a Ciceroni tour and hope to continue this in the future.There is always a very good list of tours and each one is very tempting. We know that each day will be filled with a variety of sights which we often see before the general public has access.

Despite torrential rain and gales, our group had a splendid time visiting all the essential Northumberland sites, manors and delightful gardens. Our leader Tom Duncan was, as always, masterly in his knowledge, insight, wit and cheerful encouragement (standing on Hadrian's Wall amid mud, wind and lowering skies took stamina, but with his exhortations we conquered!). Our base was the excellent Matfen Hall Hotel set in rolling acres and providing civilized comfort, good food and welcoming service. Other than the poor weather, this trip could not have been bettered.

Tip-top organisation. One is in good hands with Ciceroni Travel.
