Testimonials

"Whenever we offer a Specialtours trip to our alumnae, we know that the itinerary will be expertly planned and executed, the accommodations top notch, and the local guides the best available. In addition, there will be private visits which would be impossible to arrange without the connections and excellent reputation for quality that Specialtours has developed over the years."

"Europa Nostra, the pan-European federation for cultural heritage, has been using Specialtours as organizer and operator for its Heritage Tours for some 20 years. Specialtours create highly original and exclusive tours and manage to gain access to prominent private properties, not open to the general public, which is a fitting feature of our tours. They always employ capable guides who demonstrate sound knowledge and expertise. When Specialtours are in charge of organizing a tour, this genuinely becomes a worriless process for us as principal. Professionalism, effectiveness and helpfulness have ensured that Specialtours have become a much respected and trusted partner in Europa Nostra’s Heritage Tours activities."

We want our members to have the best possible experience on Art Fund holidays and Specialtours are capable of delivering unforgettable experiences on each tour. We regularly hear from members how much they enjoy the privileged access to private collections and priority entry into some of the world’s greatest art galleries and museums, in the company of like-minded travellers."

"Specialtours' contacts are the best. Their hotel choices are perfect..... restaurants are different and interesting, local and delicious. No detail is left to chance and glitches disappear before the travelers even notice. In the nicest way, they run a tight ship."
